Bailey put his foot on the pedal and took out the next 3 x legs to make the score line 6 – 3 his way. The “Menace” wasn’t done yet and chimed in with a brilliant 12 darter in Leg 9 (140, 180, 96 & 85 Peg) and also took out Leg 10 to make it 5 Legs a piece before Bailey took out the 10^th leg to earn himself a spot in the Final .

A replay of the last three year’s final between two of the state’s most exciting and talented young dartplayers did not disappoint with both players turning on some power scoring and clinical pegging. Bailey drew first blood, taking out the first leg in 14 darts (62 Peg) before Tim bounced back taking out Leg 2 but Bailey was quick to respond with an awesome 12 dart game in Leg 3 that included a 135 check out. The boys were going hard at it and after 6 x Legs, the score line was 3 – 3 before Bailey took out Legs 7 and 8 to make it 5 – 3 his way.

The “Magnet” was having none of it and rattled off the next 3 x Legs to take him 1 x Leg from victory but “The Ghost” wasn’t done yet and chimed in with a brilliant 13 dart game to make to score line 6 x games each. Tim had ‘The Shot’ in the last leg and took full advantage, taking out 32 (Bailey wanting 40) to take out this year’s title of ‘Premier League Champion’.

Congratulations to Tim, commiserations to Bailey and a big thank you to Mike Condon, Dave Charnock and Lewis Kirk for all their help and also to everybody that came along to watch an awesome game of “Premier League” darts.
