The San Group Wood Chuckers met with fellow Qualicum Beach Legion team, the Bulls Hitters, to a rollicking night of darts.

Leading the wins for the Hitters, Fun Shoot winner Ryan Fortune and Ray Jones, each doubled out four of their five matches. Ray finished one of his matches with a 76 out – was that a two or a three-dart finish Ray?
Leading the scores for the Hitters, Joe Fortune and Bernie Brockway both shot a 140. Top wins for the Wood Chuckers was Jim Thompson, who proved unbeatable in his five matches. Kelly Kovacs struggled to double out, but shot some very good scores in his efforts – 125 was the team high score. Final score San Group Wood Chuckers 15 – Qualicum Beach Legion Bulls Hitters – 18.

Taking the lead early, the away team had double the wins of the home team but lost their commanding lead in the second half of the match. The push by the Triples in the sixth and seventh sets was impressive, but not enough to overtake the Arrows. Final score – Triples 15 – Arrows – 18. Leading the wins for the Straight Arrows, John Curtis, Mike Beno and Poul Reimer put four wins each to the final total. John also had team high score – 128. Leading the wins for the Triples, Captain Lesley Rodgers defeated the Arrows in four of her five matches, with Keith Reimer hitting the high score of 118.
