25 and Under State Championships 2023
Click Here For all the results and stats.
Though the numbers may have been lower, the standard of darts certainly wasn’t. The young
people competing were a credit to their associations. Their behaviour, manners and sportsmanship
was an example to all.
Saturday saw the teams’ events, with the men split into 2 divisions. South Suburban dominated
both divisions and both teams went through the competition undefeated. In division 1, Bunbury
finished a strong second with the loss of only one game. In division 2, both Collie and Fremantle lost
only one game – to South suburban and though even on pegs, the eventual 2nd place team was
Fremantle.
In the ladies the 4 teams played in one division and Perth Ladies led the way and went through the
rounds without conceding a match. Second place was very, very close with the Young Guns
snatching the silver medals from Future Guns and South Suburban.

The score line of the final doesn’t reflect the game, but Angela’s consistency and experience came to the fore, and she took out the final from Casey by a 3-0 score line. Angela was certainly impressive and finished with an average higher than the men’s winner – just saying lol.
