The Saipan Electronic Dart Association’s Ladies Division, Master’s, and B-Flame Tree frontrunners are still in contention for the coveted Bud Cup trophy, while B-Fanihi’s top seed Echoserong Kamote’s stumbled in this week’s opening round.
Ladies Division’s Try Luck of D’Pirates Bar, Master Division’s IT&E Kamote’s of Es’y Kitchen, and B-Flame Tree’s Gaiana-B of Bar Gaia all advanced to the semifinal round, while B-Fanihi’s Echoserong Kamote’s of Naked Fish Bar & Grill fell victim to an upset by second-ranked SOS Akiramenai, 6-9, in their road match held at Es’y Kitchen Thursday night.
B-Fanihi’s SOS will be paired against Gaia’s World B, which dropped VFW Post 3457’s Dutty Gunz, 8-6 on the road on Thursday.
