Tucking in at the Eagles Hall, the Toolshed Triples welcomed the Qualicum Beach Legion Short Sighted Crew to join them in an evening of tossing arrows. The Crew, both new and seasoned league players, struggled with their doubles until the fifth singles set when they pulled four of the five matches away from the Triples. Then, in the final game of the night, Crew Captain Ron Stanley hit a perfect score and went on to win the game fame against Triple spare, Wendy Haines. Congrats on the 180 Ron! Crew member, Don Punter pinned five doubles in six matches, to be the team’s top points-getter of the night. Top score of 123 was shared by Don and Peter Bisiker. The Triples took advantage of the Crew’s missed opportunities to put themselves far in front of their opponents. Leading the wins for the Toolshed Triples, both Jim Hood and Denise Tabler showed the Crew where the doubles are in four of their six matches. Team high score came from Keith Reimer, who shot a 135.
Final score Toolshed Triples – 17, Short Sighted Crew – 16

Playing a week later than scheduled, the Eagles Hall, the Eagles Hall X-Men joined their fellow-Eagles, the Eagles Hall Straight Arrows for a raucous night of darts.

Topping the scores, Poul Reimer, playing the doubles with John Curtis, shot a 135 game against X-Men Glen Dilworth and Pony Moore.

The Men were well ahead by the final set of the night, but a final push by the home team pulled the score to within one point of each other. X-Men Pony Moore tallied the most wins for the away team – five in six. Glen D. and Rob Sparrow shorted up the team wins with four each added to the final score.
