Premier League Darts

After a couple of week’s break, the players returned to Premier League action on Sunday morning at the Airlie Bowls Club.

Kameron Reason made it 2 wins from 2 after dispatching Jayden Lloyd in fine fashion by a 7/1 scoreline. That win places Kam nicely in 4th spot on the league table.

On the other end of the spectrum Jayden is still searching for his 1st win of the year, with tough matches against Jamie Maher and Joe Wilson next to come.

The ladder made for better reading for Jamie Maher after his two matches on Sunday morning, recording back-to-back victories over Hawkeye Rick 7/4 and Arthur McMinn 7/1. 

Those wins gave Jamie his first points of the year, leaving him in 5th place on 4 points. He also slotted home a beautiful 171 in that match against Hawkeye, who is the only other player besides Jayden yet to score league points.

Arthur McMinn bounced back from that defeat to Jamie, with a win of his own, a fine 7/4 victory over Naomi Mitchell. That win leaves Arthur beautifully positioned in 2nd place on the league table, just a point behind Joe Wilson who has played a game less than Arthur. 

The Premier League is sponsored by Mika Airlie, Whitsunday Tattooing and Master Butchers Whitsundays.
