For a team that uses a panicky-looking Daffy Duck in their logo, the Chuck 鈥楴 Duckers displayed a wealth of composure in the Comox Valley Sports & Social Club鈥檚 recreational dodgeball final.
The outlook was pretty bleak when the upbeat, red-clad crew fell into an early 4-1 hole to the Ten Phat Kidz on Monday. Unphased, they strung together a run of six straight points to build up a solid lead and out-battle the 鈥淧hatties鈥� the rest of the way for a well-earned 10-8 victory and their first dodgeball championship in the 14-team league.
The intermediate dodgeball final also saw played host to a spectacular final that could鈥檝e gone either way, as the Thundercats eventually emerged as victors with a 10-8 win over the Grease Balls in the Wednesday night league of nine teams. It was the Thundercats鈥� second ever victory, with Janel Lessard leading the charge in a number of tight points and Jesse Jones getting the honour of the final out with a perfect shot against acrobatic Grease Balls captain Josh Chapman.
Third place in the intermediate league went to the A-Team with a 10-1 win over the Super Attack Squad, while the Chuck 鈥楴 Duckers crew finished 5th in a 10-9 seesaw battle with the Ballistics. The Tea Bags took 7th place, while Team Excellence finished in 8th with a 10-3 win over the Cunning Stunts.
