RIYADH — The fourth week of dart action at Al-Jafen Sports Center at the Second Industrial area here marked another spectacular come-from-behind win by NBD of Noel Borromeo against top team Vipers of Emer Parago. NBD’s win earned it the same win-loss record of 6-1 with Vipers in the team standing and stopped their opponents’ bid for a perfect mark of 7-0.

The Vipers gained the upper hand in the singles round with a 5-3 ending but only to find a retaliating NBD in the doubles showdown with the pair of Greg Beringa and Edgar Dadivas sending a never-say-day signal to their opponents with Dadivas firing bulls (50) outshot. This gave confidence to last pair Noel Borromeo and Arnel Arano for another win ending the doubles at 4-4. The opponents exchanged square skills in the last leg, the team match, but NBD prevailed with Dennis Santos ending a perfect 60 finish on the shocked faces of Vipers with a final score of 10-9.

Record setters during the last two weeks were Jhun Andres with 17 darts plus Ton 80, Ariel Laxa and Mar Bartilo each had 19 darts record, and Cris Ibuos with 126 highest outshot. Meroy Gabonada also finished 17 darts with Ton 80, Valentin Bajade Jr. with 18 darts and 68 outshot. Bulls eye king is Vergel Cabaron and Edgar Dadivas.

Team standing after four weeks: Vipers 6-1 and 104 points; NBD 6-1 (75); Bulleros 4-3 (72); D’Pirates 4-3 (62); Brand One 1-6 (48) and Tropa 0-7 (36).
