Kimberli Rivas of Just For Fun Snipers warming up vs E-Z Lines on match-day five.

League lead­ers stunned and left silent. Round one of the Na­tion­al Mixed League of Darts 2025 has been com­plet­ed with two more full rounds of match­es to go. The A Di­vi­sion re­mains tight with the top three teams all tied on 33 points.

Just For Fun (JFF) Vikings were cruis­ing at the top from match-day one un­til their match-day five en­counter with de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons E-Z Lines. This huge clash at No 36 New Street in Port-of-Spain was a tight­ly-con­test­ed af­fair from the start with both teams tied at 2-2 af­ter the first block of games. Then came the ex­cit­ing sin­gles round where top stars like James Walk­lin and Karen Ram­cha­ran of E-Z Lines helped steer the match in their team’s favour.

Michael Ri­vas, cap­tain of the Vikings, won a very im­por­tant match against op­pos­ing cap­tain Adam da Cos­ta, which saw his team have hopes of a draw go­ing in­to the fi­nal team game. E-Z Lines did just enough to win the match 6-4, see­ing them move up to sec­ond and Just For Fun drop­ping to third.

De Orig­i­nal Game Shot (DOGS) now sit in first place af­ter a re­sound­ing 8-2 vic­to­ry over new­ly pro­mot­ed Bul­lz I. DOGS were able to over­come an ear­ly scare when Bul­lz I had the score at 1-1. The top play­ers of DOGS stepped up know­ing a huge vic­to­ry would be good for their ti­tle hopes, en­sur­ing an em­phat­ic vic­to­ry which now sees them in pole po­si­tion with a lot more darts to play, es­pe­cial­ly with their big clash com­ing up on match-day six ver­sus de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons and fierce ri­vals E-Z Lines.

In the B Di­vi­sion, Scor­pi­ons lead the pack with a ten-point gap over sec­ond place af­ter a tight­ly con­test­ed match ver­sus Triple Vi­sion. Triple Vi­sion start­ed off very well, rac­ing to a 2-0 lead; how­ev­er, Scor­pi­ons quick­ly re­spond­ed, mak­ing the score 2-2 go­ing in­to the all-im­por­tant sin­gles round.

Scor­pi­ons drew first blood, even­tu­al­ly win­ning the first two of five sin­gles thanks to the ex­pe­ri­enced duo of Pet­ri­ca Mas­si­ah and Hec­tor Al­zo­la, giv­ing their team a 4-2 lead. Triple Vi­sion was able to reg­is­ter two suc­ces­sive wins through the tena­cious ef­forts of Mikhael Achong and Jonathan Gill, scores once again tied, this time 4-4. Nicole Mo­ra of Scor­pi­ons won the fi­nal sin­gles, giv­ing her team a 5-4 lead. The Scor­pi­ons need­ed to win the fi­nal team game to clinch vic­to­ry and keep a per­fect win record in­tact. But the theme of the evening was tenac­i­ty, and Triple Vi­sion held on for a vi­tal 5-5 re­sult.

Triple Vi­sion sits in fourth place. Just For Fun Snipers are in sec­ond place af­ter an im­pres­sive 8-2 vic­to­ry over Reck­less Darts Team. The Snipers dom­i­nat­ed pro­ceed­ings from the off, lead­ing 3-1 and 6-2 dur­ing the course of the match. Cap­tain Adri­an Mil­lette con­firmed vic­to­ry in his sin­gles en­counter, mak­ing it 7-2, and they were able to end the con­test em­phat­i­cal­ly in the team game. Sea Wolves are up to third place af­ter de­feat­ing bot­tom-of-the-ta­ble Shang­hai Bulls 7-3.

Flight­ed Friends con­tin­ue to dom­i­nate the C Di­vi­sion with five wins from five, with an im­pres­sive 40 points and a ten-point lead over sec­ond place. Flight­ed Friends took on Bull­dogs on match-day five. They were in dom­i­nant form, led by the ex­pe­ri­enced Nanette Brooks. Flight­ed Friends were up 3-1, and af­ter los­ing the open­ing sin­gles round, they were able to make a clean sweep of the re­main­ing games, win­ning 8-2.

Ran­dom Squad are chas­ing in sec­ond place af­ter a hard-fought 6-4 vic­to­ry over third-place Top Shot. Ran­dom Squad were up 3-1, then 5-1, but Top Shot did put up a fight in the sin­gles rounds, caus­ing a bit of a scare but it was not enough to pre­vent de­feat. With this new struc­ture and for­mat, on­ly one team gets pro­mot­ed and one team gets de­mot­ed. Match-day six was card­ed for Tues­day.
