Close contest in Seymour darts finals action

Popular Stories

Broadford Golf Club last week hosted Seymour District Darts Association’s, SDDA, 2023 Summer Competition grand finals to round out an action-packed season.

With the finalists supported by a strong crowd of spectators, three teams emerged victorious – Badass, Golf Club Aces and Royal Jacaranda, from divisions one, two and three respectively.

In division one Badass squared off against old nemesis The Snipers in a replay of last season’s A Grade final.

The Snipers got off to a better start than last time and could have maintained the lead heading into the second half if not for some nervous double trouble.

With the scores at 4-3 Badass’ way heading into the reverse singles, the pressure was mounting and despite the Alexandra team’s best efforts, Badass found the treble and the doubles to coast to a 6-3 victory that sealed their three-peat.

Aces

In division two the Golf Club Aces faced Pyalong Tigers; the game being played on one of the SDDA’s free-standing dart boards to negate any home ground advantage.

The higher-ranked Golf Club Aces took a narrow 4-3 advantage heading into the reverse singles and, in keeping the same playing order, held the higher ground, making it tough for the Tigers to claw the lead back.

Despite a strong effort from the Tigers, the Aces were able to take out the division two premiership with a 6-3 win – a fitting birthday present for the Aces’ number one ticket holder Lorraine Jones.

Jacarandas
Division three premiers Royal Jacaranda. Pictured back from left are Cory Ritchie, Helen Roscoe, Kirstie Rickman, and Jose Mason. Front from left are Renee Henke, captain Shelley Jensen, Royal Hotel owner Paul, and Katharine Boardman. ​

The Royal Rascals and Royal Jacaranda went toe-to-toe in the division three final and produced a memorable contest with the match going down to the final game of the night.

The Jacarandas got the jump early to record a 3-1 lead, however the more experienced Rascals slowly chipped away at the score with nearly every singles match going to a third leg tie breaker.

Both teams performed well when the game was on the line, with the Rascals’ Brendan Rogers nailing a single dart bull finish to break the tie, while in the next game Jacaranda’s Cory Ritchie hit a handy combination finish to level the scores.

With the scores sitting all-square going into the final game of the night, the pressure was building on both teams before the Jacarandas were able to secure the 6-5 victory in their first ever grand final.

The SDDA thanked Broadford Golf Club for hosting the event, with special thanks to Evie Hastie, Cherie Spencer and Leanne Paice.
