Jus For Fun, Drifters on target at Darts tourney

The drama continues to unfold at the Trinidad and Tobago Double In/Double Out League of Darts held at the home of darts – Kosmos Members Club in Port of Spain.

Jus For Fun took on Pub House Pirates in what was a crucial game for both teams. Pirates needed to win by a huge margin in an effort to avoid relegation, while Jus For Fun needed a victory to reclaim second spot on the table. It started off tight as Jus For Fun were 3-2 ahead early on, but pulled away in the singles round eventually claiming a well-deserved 7-3 win. Pirates will now almost certainly play in a lower division next season.

Drifters secured another season in the top flight after a victory over DOGS. The contest was exciting from the start as the two teams were locked at 2-2, before the singles round. Drifters won three of the five singles matches giving them a 5-4 lead going into the last team game. Drifters got over the line with a hard fought 6-4 win and will finish in fourth place.

CB Shooters took on Random Squad in their game in hand in the B division.

CB Shooters secured a convincing 8-2 victory which saw them rise to second and Random Squad remained last.

The TT Darts Association already has plans for a new league tournament, set to begin in less than two weeks.
