Four likely lads gathered at eight of the clock (take note again ‘jelly arm’). After a little socializing we repaired to the clubhouse and offered ourselves up to the ‘pickometer’. The big P dictated that P&P should play I&C.

After the ‘middle for diddle’(taken by Papa’s radish) it was Papa and Pete that set the pace taking the first game, but it didn’t last long as Colin and Ian equalised with the second match. The buggers then rubbed our noses in it by taking the third! That was painful enough to set the two P’s on a path to glory… Pete and Papa managed to take the fourth, fifth and sixth for a 4 - 2 victory; which of course in the now obligatory result format is: PP 1456 / 23 IC.

The games were quite unusual, a mixture of bull and traditional starts and ends. A couple were close but both teams took a couple of games each very comfortably. It was probably a product of the teams going for their own targets for the majority of the time and waiting until the end to chase the opposition.

Bull-wars: Ian 3 reds, Peter 2, Papa 1.

Papa was MOTM, it has to be said Colin continued to play his current higher standard of darts notably taking two or three semis.

Even more notable was our first ‘dart dropping’, (sounds disgusting doesn’t it?). Colin, having sunk a semi looked at the dart and decided another hit anywhere on the board might dislodge it, so dropped the other two straight on the deck!

The sad thing is that it was close to the end of the game and both teams still needed another semi… and you guessed it… after Colin took his darts out of the board (and the floor) Papa heaved one straight in to clinch the game. ‘Sods Law’ eh Colin?

Chart Changes:

In the doubles chart Papa moves up one swapping places with Steve, taking 6th place. In the MOTM chart Papa moves up one place swapping with Pete making me last!

Rushers is AWOL for the rest of the month which means it is open season for the rest of you to try and grab the bullmeister title.

Game On!
