Premier League 2023

Finals ‘Round Up’

The Spearwood Dalmatinac Club again played host to this year’s Fremantle ‘Premier League Finals’. The night was tipped to be an absolute cracker and did not disappoint with the ‘Top 8’ Premier League players battling it out to see who would be crowned Champion for 2023.

Q F 1.  (Best of 11)     Kim Lewis (87.55) defeated Gary Stevens (67.50)                6 – 0

Q F 2.  (Best of 11)     Bailey Marsh (82.48) defeated Ron Kneale (75.40)              6 – 4

Q F 3.  (Best of 11)     Dave Charnock (79.60) defeated Lewis Kirk (64.29)             6 – 2

Q F 4.  (Best of 11)     Tim Pusey (80.57) defeated Alec McAvoy (70.95)                6 – 3

S F 1.  (Best of 11)     Tim Pusey (88.89) d Dave Charnock (81.03)                      6 – 1

Tim jumped out the blocks winning the first five legs before Dave could register his account, pegging 80 in the 6^th leg. Dave was playing well but could not match for the power scoring of ‘The Magnet’ and was comfortably beaten in the next leg.

S F 2.  (Best of 11)     Bailey Marsh (85.33) d Kim Lewis (78.65)                          6 – 4

The 2^nd Semi of the night was an absolute ripper. Kim took the early lead, winning the first 3 x legs before the reigning champ kicked into second gear and rattled off the next 5 x legs on the trot. Kim Bounced back taking out the 9^th leg but ‘The Ghost’ had the finish line in his sights and took out the 10^th leg comfortably.

Final    (Best of 13)     Tim Pusey (90.54) d Bailey Marsh (81.64)                          7 – 4

A replay of the last two year’s final between two of the state’s most exciting and talented young dartplayers did not disappoint with both turning on some power scoring and clinical pegging. Bailey drew first blood, taking out the first leg in 19 darts before Tim bounced back taking out the next four legs in 15, 15, 18 &15 darts.

Bailey was quick to respond by winning the next two legs that included a nice 106 check out

With the score line now at 4 – 3 Tim’s way, he chimed in with another 15 dart leg to extend his lead to 5 – 3. Bailey was having none of it and took the next leg out in 18 darts to make the score line now 5 – 4 but ‘The Magnet’, with the finish line in sight reeled the next two legs off to take out this year’s title.

Congratulations to Tim on a well-deserved win, commiserations to Bailey and a big thank you to everybody that came along to watch and make the 2023 ‘Premier League’ finals a night to remember.

73 of Fremantles finest braved the wintery conditions at the Spearwood Dalmatinac Club last night to take part in the last Graded Singles & Doubles event for the 2023 season.

The Singles saw some brilliant darts being thrown throughout the night (Including an 11 dart game by Shane Wright) and the final was no exception with the Dalmatinac Club’s fast improving Shane Wright taking the honours in a hard fought tussle over the Fremantle Italian Club’s Aaron Nicholas.

The Doubles was also a closely contested event with some great pairings going ‘Head to Head’ throughout the night. As was expected, the final went down to the wire with the boys from the Kardy Kats (Tony ‘Yak’ Morton & newcomer Troy Hewer) edging out the Cockburn Bowling Club’s Tim Barnes & Grant Werner to run out eventual winners.

The Under 50’s Doubles saw 58 men and women from all over the Fremantle area battling it out for the honours. The Hilton ‘Navy’s’ Mark Warren & Adam Monaghan turned in a solid performance to run out eventual winners over the Dalmatinac Club’s Mike Condon & Jeff Coote.

Fremantle’s Deon Wyatt was selected in this year’s State Team to represent Western Australia at the upcoming Australian Championships being held in Moama NSW in August later this year.

Deon turned in an impressive performance over the two day trials held at the Belmont Sport & Recreation Club last weekend to secure a place in this year’s State Team.

Eight players from across the State were chosen to represent WA at the Championships that sees the best players from each State in Australia compete in the week long Australian Championships.
