Week Two Dart Action

Playing at their joint home venue, the Eagles Hall, the AMC Straight Arrows met with the Eagles Hall Darts of Hazzard for a thrillingly close match of darts.  Winning two of the three doubles matches proved to be the key win for the Darts of Hazzard as the singles sets were a ping-pong of dominance between the two teams.  The Straight Arrows won the first set, the Hazzards the second, Arrows took the third and so on. The doubles win by Brody Jenkinson and Hendrik Van Heerwaarden over Rob Clark and Roy Neill was the deciding point of the match.  Leading the wins for the Hazzards, Randy Burrows was undefeated in five singles games, with scores of 100 and 116, plus a high out of 75.  High scorer for the Hazzards, Hendrik was prolific – pinning a 120, 121 and 132, but Captain Heath Mahoney bested him with a 133 in his winning match against Arrow’s Shane Ovington.  Set points resulted in 8 – 6 for the Darts of Hazzard.
