Hasbeens dealt P*ssheads their first loss of the season, beating them 6-5, but it wasn’t as close as the score suggests.
Hasbeens were actually 6-3 before P*ssheads came back to win the next two sets.
Pastoral Phoenix were robbed of their first victory when The Shoeless defeated them in another 6-5 result.
Phoenix were actually 4-1 up, but then The Shoeless won the next five sets to secure victory, before losing the team's games.
Misfits showed their strength and had no trouble against Double Trouble, winning that match 8-3.
We now have equal leaders on the ladder with P*ssheads and Misfits level on 9 wins, sets won and equal percentage.
26 Jets had the bye.
Individual Highlights
Michael Bajowski hit an all-time high number of tons with 16.
I don’t know if this is an Association record, but it might go close.
Baja also had the highest average with 23.88 and he threw a 180.
Other 180’s went to Janine Cassar and Darren Manners.
Dallas Barnstable had the shortest game in 17 darts and Neil Tinning hit a whopping 154 out shot.
Undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the round, Janine Cassar, one of our top lady players, beat Michael Bajowski 2-1 in her singles match against him.
It just goes to show that he’s not unbeatable.
Division Two
The depleted Cockadoos fell victim to Ocheholics in a 7-4 result.
They’re now out of the four but only on percentage.
Pastoral Warriors, who have now moved into the four, had a whitewash 11-0 victory against Dart Devils and with a much higher percentage put pressure on the Pastoral Pirates, who had the bye this week.
In the final game, The Recyclables beat Sore & Achey 8-3 to cement their 2nd place.
Individual Highlights
It was Steve Robinson’s night out this round.
Steve had the highest average per dart with 20.66, the shortest game in 20 darts, and the most tons with 9.
The highest peg went to Chris Gritty with a massive 124.
Other players to do well were Karlo Torlao who had 8 tons, Micah Schroeder with a 21-dart game and Kodye Clark with an 88 peg.
Well done to all players.

Darts Victoria Easter Open Geelong
We had a few of our locals playing in the 2025 DV Easter Classic held in Geelong over the Easter weekend.
Caylee Crilly competed in the junior section, but due to lack of numbers she was forced to play against the boys, who unfortunately proved to be too good for her.
Caylee also entered the ladies singles along with Jo Hadley, Jodie Oakley and one of our former players Ebonie Gill.
Caylee and Jodie were knocked out in the round-robin stage, while Ebonie progressed to the last 16.
Jo, however, went on to win the event, proving that she is by far one of Australia’s best lady players.
In the men’s events, Michael Bajowski and Brian Crilly along with former players Dylan Oaff and Michael Cassar competed.
Both Michaels made it to the semi-final stage, while Dylan was knocked out in the final 32 stage and Brian in the round-robin stage.
Jo Hadley teamed up with long-time friend Christine Richardson to also win the ladies doubles.
A very successful weekend.
Caylee played with mum Jodie Crilly in the ladies doubles but were unsuccessful, getting knocked in the last 16.
If I’ve missed anyone, I’m sorry.
