Ridin’ Darrty remained on top of the 10-team field with 116-71 win-loss slate, while the Sand Juvy Predators and sister team Outlawz are breathing down their necks at second and third spots. The Predators are holding on to a 114-73 or two wins behind the Ridin’ Darrty while the Outlawz are third at 113-74. The 101 Proofers, another Sand Juvy-backed squad, is in fourth with a 101-86 card and is mathematically still in the hunt for the division crown , but it must start winning lopsided matches and pray the three other teams above the standings lose theirs.

Ridin’ Darrty kept the top ranking following a 12-5 win over Sand Juvy Bud Brothers (5th, 90-97) while the Predators and Outlawz are withing striking distance after beating Smoke Pub Comatose (10th, 64-123), 13-4, and Hunters (No. 8, 84-103), 10-7, respectively.

The Proofers (No. 4, 101-86) downed Sand Juvy Sakude (No. No. 7, 85-102), 12-5, while Route 33 Mafia (No. 9, 81-106) edged sister team Mix Blood (No. 6, 87-100), 9-8, in other division A matches.

Results in the Tuesday division had the Smoke Pub Dartaholics posting a 12-3 win over the Sand Juvy Sparkz; the Jokers Xecutioners dumping Oleai Team Fearless, 10-5; the Smoke Pub Marupok and D’Mekaniks scoring similar 9-6 decisions against the Sand Juvy 22 Snipers and Smoke Pub High on Darts, respectively; and Jokers Dabarkads edging the Route33 Mixblood Shooters, 8-7.

In the Ladies division, the Naked Fish Dartin’ Divas drubbed Smoke Pub Ladies Bull-It, 11-4, the Sand Juvy Vicious Darties downed Route33 Avengers, 10-5, while the Smoke Pub Mixed Nutz escaped with an 8-7 decision over the Jokers G-Side Shooters.

The Destroyers tripped the TRA-Bull Makerz, 12-5, while Shoot Balut scored an easy 17-0 triumph after the Outlawz failed to show up in the Masters division.

In the Chichirika C division, the Smoke Pub Snipers clipped the Bull-It, 12-3; Poseidon Feelin’ Lucky trounced Sand Juvy Ta Chagi, 11-4; the Spartans drubbed VFW ‘Ombak’ Hit’em Up, 10-5; and the Jokers Disciples and Barcode Breakers pulled off similar 8-7 decisions over Joe’s DNA Jump It and Blue Koi’s, respectively.

Smoke Pub D’Mekaniks, VFW Warriors, and Mixedblood Shooters pulled off identical 10-5 wins over the 80 Proofers, Route 33 Bud Kings, and Sand Juvy No Fear, while Put3ska defeated Jokers Chagi Fan, 9-6 in the Fanihi division.

In the Flame Tree class, Naked Fish Na’Gupu and Jonny’s Kyodai eked out identical 8-7 wins over Smoke Pub Team Figan and Oneshot, while Joe’s Serial Killaz and Jokers Warriors defeated Sand Juvy Team Dart Balas and Ridin’ Darrty, respectively in similar scores, 9-6.
