Darts – ‘Jelly Arm’ Davies fights back!


Peter 61.45% Dave 59.82% Ian 53.53% Doddy 48.28% Steve 44.00%
Fred 43.94% Mike D 40.32% Papa 40.28% Colin 34.00% Malc 29.03%

Firstly Mike-D a.k.a. ‘JA’ has asked me to point out that he arrived on time. Mike, it would have got a mentioned anyway, in the ‘notable events’ section!

So…. We kicked off on time; the pickometer chose Pete and Mike D against Ian and Steve. Ian and Steve took MFD and away we went!

We stormed through seven games, giving a 6 -1 victory to Pete and Mike the score order was PM 124567 / 3 IS. Yet again the score belies the closeness of some games. I don’t think anyone would have argued with a 4 - 3 score line, but that is the way the cookie crumbles.

Ian and Steve split opening duties between bulls and score. Peter and Mike-D swapped around depending on what seemed right at the time. Mike D stuck in a red bull on his first turn in the first two games we played; which was a massive help in securing those games and probably helps explain the final score line.

All players seemed to take a break from scoring now and then, but when folks were hot they were hot!

Notable events:

Steve gifted me a rope of onions and was therefore allowed to use chalk as wastefully as he wished all evening.

Mike has threatened to click on ads during web visits and was therefore allowed to use chalk as wastefully as he wished all evening.

Ian never wastes chalk, fact.

Steve was savage on 10’s and 15’s, Mike and I ended up having to put them high on our hit list.

Both Mike and Steve get MOTM. Both for consistent darts, holding their respective teams together and for their efforts on the previously mentioned savagery and bulltasticness.

Bull Wars: Ian and Mike both scored 3 Reds. Pete managed 1.

Chart Action: Mike D Moves up a place to 7th position, pipping Papa by an infinitesimal 0.02%!

Please Note that the fixture for the 14th has now been cancelled due to lack of bad boy availability.

So that’s (No) Game on!
