Mountain Dart League

🎯 DIVISION 1 – SUMMER/AUTUMN FINALS SERIES 🎯

The home‑and‑away season is done, the ladder is locked in, and Division 1 is set for a massive finals series.

The High 5’s finished clearly on top, putting together an outstanding season with 14 wins. They’ve been the benchmark all year and head into finals full of confidence. The MDDA Bullseyes secured second place with 11 wins, earning the double chance, but they’ll know they have a mountain to climb. The High 5’s have had their measure in all three meetings this year, winning 13–8, 12–9, and most recently a nail‑biting 11–10. If the Bullseyes want to flip the script, this is the week to do it.

In the elimination final, the Bad Boys come in after an up‑and‑down season that saw them finish third with 8 wins. They’ll face the Clayton Cobras, who claimed 6 wins and have shown they can trouble anyone on their night. The Bad Boys took the first two encounters 12–6 (including one forfeit) and 18–3, but the Cobras struck back in their most recent clash with a tight 11–10 victory, a timely reminder that anything can happen in finals.

Week 1 – June 12
• Qualifying Final: High 5’s vs MDDA Bullseyes
• Elimination Final: Bad Boys vs Clayton Cobras

Who will progress to the Preliminary Final on June 19, before the final two teams meet in the Grand Final on June 26? it’s time to see who can stand tall when the pressure hits.

🎯 DIVISION 2 – SUMMER/AUTUMN FINALS SERIES 🎯

Division 2 has delivered twists, upsets, and tight contests all season...and now the finals bracket is locked in.

Redbacks 1 finished on top with 13 wins, holding off Check Out, who secured second place with 11 wins to claim the double chance. Despite the ladder positions, Check Out has proven to be a genuine bogey side for Redbacks 1, handing them two of their three losses this season with wins of 12–9 and 18–3. Their most recent clash, however, swung the other way as Redbacks 1 edged out an 11–10 thriller, thanks to a clutch final leg from Mathew Gordon. Their qualifying final is shaping up as one of the matches of the entire finals series.

The second finals matchup took a dramatic turn late in the season. With the unfortunate announcement around the Rebels, a reshuffle elevated Spectrum into 3rd place with 10 wins, and T.N.T were promoted into the 4th finals spot despite finishing with 6 wins.

Spectrum and T.N.T have met three times this season, with Spectrum taking the first two encounters 16–5 and 14–7, before T.N.T stole the most recent meeting 11–10 in a desperate push to avoid relegation. These two also have recent finals history as T.N.T famously knocked Spectrum out in last season’s Preliminary Final on their way to the Grand Final. Expect fireworks.

Week 1 – June 12
• Qualifying Final: Redbacks 1 vs Check Out
• Elimination Final: Spectrum vs T.N.T

Who progresses to the Preliminary Final on June 19, before the final two teams meet in the Grand Final on June 26?

Division 2 has been unpredictable all year — now it’s time to see who can hold their nerve when everything is on the line.

🎯 DIVISION 3 – SUMMER/AUTUMN FINALS SERIES 🎯

Division 3 has been tight, competitive, and unpredictable all season, and the final ladder reflects just how close the top end of the table really was.

Just Do It and The Goodies finished level on 11 wins each, with Just Do It taking top spot only on legs for/against. Despite finishing first, Just Do It will know they’re in for a real fight — The Goodies have been their bogey team this season, handing them two losses from their three meetings. Their clashes have been incredibly close: 11–10, 11–10 (to JDI), and 12–9. With margins this tight, their Qualifying Final could go absolutely anywhere.

In the second matchup, the Stingrays secured 3rd place with 9 wins, edging out the MDDA Black Bulls, who finished on 8 wins. The Stingrays will take confidence into the Elimination Final, having won all three encounters this season — 12–9, 12–9, and 13–8. But finals are a different beast, and the Black Bulls have shown all year that they can push the top sides when they settle into rhythm.

Week 1 – June 12
• Qualifying Final: Just Do It vs The Goodies
• Elimination Final: Stingrays vs MDDA Black Bulls

Who will progress to the Preliminary Final on June 19, before the final two teams meet in the Grand Final on June 26?

Division 3 has delivered close matches, big upsets, and plenty of drama, now it’s time to see who can finish the job and claim the 2026 premiership.
