It all came down to the wire. The dra­ma con­tin­ues to un­fold in the T&T Darts As­so­ci­a­tion (TT­DA) Dou­ble in/Dou­ble out league of darts held at the home of darts, Kos­mos Mem­bers Club in Port-of-Spain last Tues­day (May 14).

Jus For Fun took on Pub House Pi­rates in what was a very im­por­tant game for both teams. The Pi­rates need­ed to win by a big mar­gin to give them­selves a chance at avoid­ing rel­e­ga­tion while Jus For Fun need­ed a vic­to­ry to re­claim sec­ond.

It start­ed off tight as Jus For Fun were 3-2 ahead ear­ly on but pulled away in the sin­gles round even­tu­al­ly claim­ing a well-de­served 7-3 win. Jus For Fun now sits sec­ond and the Pi­rates are now all but cer­tain­ly rel­e­gat­ed.

Drifters se­cured an­oth­er sea­son in the top flight af­ter a very un­like­ly vic­to­ry over De Orig­i­nal Game Shot (D.O.G.S.). The con­test was ex­cit­ing from the start as the two teams were locked at 2-2 be­fore the sin­gles round. Drifters won 3/5 of the sin­gles match­es giv­ing them a 5-4 lead go­ing in­to the last team game. Drifters got over the line with a very hard-fought 6-4 win. Drifters are now safe and dry in fourth place. CB Shoot­ers took on Ran­dom Squad in their game in hand of the B di­vi­sion.

CB Shoot­ers se­cured a con­vinc­ing 8-2 vic­to­ry which saw them rise to sec­ond and Ran­dom Squad re­main last. The last game week of this tour­na­ment is set for Tues­day (May 21), with a lot to play for as the A di­vi­sion, sec­ond spot is still up for grabs. There is an out­side chance that Jus For Fun can catch E-Z Lines but the de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons should have more than enough to win the ti­tle even though they will be tak­ing on D.O.G.S. Drifters might be on the beach now that their stay in the top-flight is se­cured. That means Jus For Fun will have a chance to if not over­take E-Z Lines, at least close the gap at the top. Scor­pi­ons should go on to win the B di­vi­sion and se­cure the first pro­mo­tion­al spot.

Sec­ond place and the sec­ond tick­et to the A di­vi­sion is still a very tight one to call with five teams all still with a chance to get pro­mot­ed. The TT­DA al­ready has plans for the new league tour­na­ment, set to be­gin in two weeks. It will fea­ture a mixed one-round for­mat where 501 and Mick­ey Mouse will be played. Al­so both A and B di­vi­sion teams would clash with all points go­ing to the team’s re­spec­tive stand­ings. There will be pro­mo­tions and de­mo­tions with two teams go­ing up and two teams go­ing down.

Se­nior na­tion­al teams named

The se­nior na­tion­al teams have been an­nounced for the up­com­ing Caribbean Cup of Darts to be held in Ja­maica on Ju­ly 19-27.

Both se­nior teams are in con­sis­tent week­ly train­ing to en­sure they are ready to de­fend their ti­tle in Ja­maica. The TT­DA is do­ing all the back­ground work need­ed to make sure the teams can be fi­nan­cial­ly sup­port­ed to make the trip a suc­cess­ful one. As part of their fundrais­ing ef­forts the TT­DA is host­ing a bin­go event sched­uled for Ju­ly 6 at Fa­ti­ma Col­lege Hall, Mu­cu­rapo Road in St James.
