This week’s Airlie Beach Darts Premier League action began with a round three catch up match between Gary Robbie and Dom Friend.
Dom came flying out of the blocks, hitting a 180 and a few 140s in his 7/4 victory over Gary. Dom didn’t have it all his own way, though, as Gary lead the contest 3/1 during the early stages, showing positive signs for his season.
Both Gary and Dom featured again later in the day: Dom was held 6/6 with Andy Peel, whereas Gary’s day got worse, suffering a heavy 7/0 loss to Joe Wilson, who currently sits a point behind the league leader.
The round was closed out with an entertaining 6/6 draw between Arthur McMinn and Jamie Maher.
Arthur showed a lot of fight in that match, trailing 6/3 win before winning three legs on the trot to earn a valuable point.
Finally, Jamie Woods had a comfortable 7/1 win over Hawkeye Rick to go joint second on the table, equal with Joe and a point behind league leader Dom Friend.
