Tucked into the corner of the Qualicum Beach Legion, the Jokers Wild played home team to the Short-Sighted Crew.

Leading the wins for the Crew, Peter Bisiker was unbeaten in his five games, one of which he took out with an 80. Peter was hard to beat because he shot several high scores throughout the night, 140, 137, 100x2. Missing Richard Rempel for a second week, the Jokers Wild recruited a team spare from the Eagles Hall Friday Night Fun darts. Coleen Hawskbee filled the roster nicely, adding two wins to the team total. Leading the wins for the Jokers Wild, Captain Jolene Swanson doubled out four of her six matches and Kevin Gillespie hit the team high score of 113.

The top team in the league, the Legion Shooters, bowled their opponents over with their proficient darting skills at the Qualicum Beach Legion last Tuesday night. Leading the wins for the Shooters, Lee Page went five for five, with support from team mates Thom Ford, George Wallis and Larry MacDonald, in the form of four wins in five. Lee also topped the scores with a 140, 125, 121, 100x3. Battling for the Eagles Hall Eagle Eyes, it was a whitewash for the first seven games when Eagle Eyes’ Arless McNeill finally took a win from the opponents. Arless wowed the crowd during his second singles game of the night by hitting a 180 and doubling out before Thom Ford – debunking the rumour that a perfect score doesn’t lead to a win. Eagle Eye Toni Crompton topped the scores with a 123, and Sue Barry doubled out one of her two wins with an 85 out, putting her on the Leader Board.
Final score Qualicum Beach Legion Shooters – 26, Eagles Hall Eagle Eyes – 7

Tom Rodgers and Darren Tabler also managed to hit the double first, but it was the ladies who hit the high scores for the team. Denise Tabler hit a 102 and Captain Leslie Rodgers shot a 121. Leading the wins for the Bashers, Terry Strawson, Steve Collins and Warren Potter were undefeated in their six matches, with Terry topping the scores with a 135, 125, 121, 100x5. Nice darts!
