All four first division teams came through unscathed by beating second division opponents in Taupo Darts' James Rameka memorial series. Riggers Blue were the best performers when out-classing club-mates Return in a 20-0 rout. Back to full strength, Blue showed little mercy against Return and applied the pressure from the outset, losing just one leg through-out the entire match. The Power kept their series hopes alive by scoring a good win over Ynot.After winning three pairs games, The Power piled the pressure on in the singles to establish a good break on the opposition and cruised to a 15-5 win.Kazbar,after fronting up with a player short, showed too much skill for Riggers Gold. Although Gold were gifted six wins by default, they could not take advantage of their good fortune and won just two games to allow Kazbar a 12-8 victory. Tradesmen made up for their last round disappointment by handing 4&Abit a 13-7 loss.4&Abit led at the conclusion of the pairs but could not capitalize on their lead and failed to win any singles games in the match.4&Abit were also gifted 6 games due to player shortage in their opposition.

In what was anticipated as being the "clashes of the series" turned out to be a thriller for one and a fizzer for the other in Taupo Darts' James Rameka series. In the main match of the night Kazbar and The Power met to determine which team would take the lead in the series and put a good claim on winning the prize. After The Power made the early running over a depleted Kazbar side, leading by 3-0 after the pairs, they seemed to fall off the pace early into the singles to allow Kazbar back into the game. Results seesawed through-out the rest of match and at the conclusion the two could not be seperated,the match ending in a 10-10 draw. The Tradesmen v Riggers Blue was a non-event due to Tradesmen unable to make a team because of the unavailability of several players' Turei will have to learn to throw left-handed after breaking bones in his hand. Riggers Gold posted their first points of the second division competition by winning over club-mates Return. Both teams supported the Junior movement by each playing an up-and-comer who are playing at Junior & Youth Nationals at Hastings this week. Gold got out to a good early lead and kept the pressure on until the end to win 12-8. 4&Abit also entered the fray for second division honours(Presidents Trophy) by beating favorites Ynot.4&Abit started the better by scoring wins in three of the pairs and kept the pressure on through-out the singles to score an impressive 15-5 victory.Points.Kazbar 5,The Power 5,Tradesmen 4,Riggers Blue 4,4&Abit 2,RiggersGold 2,Ynot 2,Riggers Return 0.180's:Frano Allison, Brad Potter.
