Playing out of their joint home venue, the Toolshed Triples hosted the Eagles Hall X-Men to a fun-filled night of chucking arrows at the Eagles Hall. The lead in the match ping-ponged back and forth from set to set. In the fifth singles set, the X-Men whitewashed the Triples, but the Triples bounced back in the sixth. Leading the wins for the home team, Triples’ Leslie Rodgers and Darren Tabler both doubled out three of their five matches, one of which was a 68 out thrown by Leslie. Topping the scores for the Toolshed’s, Jim Hood and Keith Reimer each shot a 100. Leading the wins for X-Men, Gen Dilworth, missed only one chance to double out first in his five singles matches of the night. Solid support from Pony Moore, Rob Sparrow, Captain Todd Burnham and Darren Wesnoski came in the form of three wins each. Pony and Glen shared the top spot for scores – 140. X-men Fraser Vincent doubled out one of his matches with a 94, putting him on the Leader Board in first place for Men’s High Outs for the season.
Final score Toolshed Triples – 13, Eagles Hall X-Men – 20.

Due to player shortages, the River Benders and the Respect-A-Bulls had to postpone their match at the Parksville Legion. This is the second game postponement in three weeks due to a lack of spares. Please dear reader, scan your neighbourhood, local pub or golf course and see if you can refer some spares to the league. As it is now, we have only one spare who will even answer the phone, and then profess they are not that good a player. While we all appreciate the honesty, it doesn’t instill confidence. We really need more spares. Dig deep Dart Association members…let’s find us some spares!
Update: The match between the River Benders and the Respect-A-Bulls took place on November 9th at the Parksville Legion.
Final score River Benders - 18, Respect-A-Bulls - 15.
