Players in the Mountain Dart League wasted no time in reacclimatising themselves with the oche after a two-week break for Good Friday and Anzac Day.
Some great darts were thrown on Friday night with Jamie Wolff from Bad Boys showcasing his talents with two 180s in a comfortable 17-4 victory over Redbacks.
Josh Pollock also filled up the lipstick for Clayton Bowls Club, who went down 13-8 to MDDA Bulls Eyes.
James Johnson also provided a highlight during that match, throwing a season-high 147 peg-out to help get Bulls Eyes across the line.
High 5’s, meanwhile, have maintained their two-game margin at the top of the ladder after a hard-fought 12-9 win over Rebels.
In Division 2, top teams Black Bulls and Bandits had strong wins over Outcasts and Spectrum respectively, while bottom-placed Stingrays chalked up their third win for the season with a 12-9 victory over The Night Trawlers.
In Division 3, second-placed Madarras provided most of the highlights, with Dan pegging out on 70 and Ben Wright throwing two 140s on the night.
