The final week of Round One play is a bit out of synch because Week 16 got pinned on the end of the schedule due to snow. Regardless, we have eighteen weeks of play completed and Round Two is five weeks long before the five-weeks of tournaments begins.

The Eagles Hall Double Eagles hosted the Parksville Legion Dart Legends to a fun night of darts at the Eagles Hall. The home team did well enough in the doubles matches, but failed to maintain that traction throughout the singles matches. Colleen McNeill, Karen Bannister and Alan Barry won two matches each in their five singles and Alan pinned a 162 to top the scores and bump himself up two spots on the Leader Board. Leading the wins for the Dart Legends, Rod Swindells, functioning on a few hours sleep after a long flight home from Asia, and Ken Ermantrout were undefeated in their six singles matches. Rod also topped the team scores with a 105.

It was a close match for the first five sets of singles, with the Shooters slightly ahead. A final set sweep by the Bashers (4 wins) pushed the Bashers to one point ahead of their opponents by the end of the match. Leading the wins for the Shooters, Thom Ford lost only to Terry Strawson in his five trips to the oche. Lee Page topped the scores for the Shooters, hitting a 140 and 100x4 throughout the match. Leading the wins for the Bashers was a three-way tie for Terry Strawson, Ken Hayes and Ryan Lane, all winning four of their five singles matches.
