Darts – What day of the week it is?

Peter 64.06% Ian 57.02% Dave 56.83% Doddy 47.54% Steve 43.83% Mike D 43.01% Fred 38.53% Papa 38.04% Malc 31.11% Colin 30.41%

There I was sat minding my own business when Dave appeared in the house with a cheery hello and wondering why I wasn’t in the hut. “It is darts tonight isn’t it?” “I don’t think so, but I had better check!” said I. For the first time in nearly a year I had forgotten which Wednesday was ‘on’! Very embarrassing, luckily it only took about 30 seconds to wander up to the clubhouse and throw the power switches.

Speaking of the clubhouse, there have been some changes (for those who haven’t already seen), I have moved the PC and table out and rearranged other stuff to create a much larger more open area in preparation for ‘BAD Boys 2008’. The plan for next year is to dump the Wednesday fixtures and play 4 - 6 players on Tuesdays. There are a few finer details to iron out but it is looking pretty good. There is certainly enough room now for space not to be a big problem. I also think that having teams of 2 - 3 on each side will help to narrow the % gap we are seeing this year, making for more chart position changes and closer competition.

Final point on the clubhouse, I want to say a big thanks to Dave for gifting us some coat hooks, many folks have been wishing we had some! Now these aren’t any ordinary coat hooks, oh no... They are oversized metal darts that screw in to the wall and you then hang your coat over the flight! Nice one Dave, much appreciated.

On to the game:

Pete and Dave were drawn to play against Mike D and Fred. Top notch darts were played (when we weren’t busy not scoring). We packed in 6 games and Pete and Dave took the final honours but not without some serious opposition. The Final Score line was PD 1245 /36 MF. Most games were quite close, 2 very close; one it has to be said was a whitewash.

Notable Events:

Mike - D got two bull centres in one turn

Mike -D and Fred were left holding decorators brushes at the end of one game.

Yet again some ‘double’ trebles were in evidence again; these are definitely cropping up more frequently.

Fred had 2 bulls and one of the aforementioned DT’s, his play is definitely improving, more practice Fred!

Bull Wars: Mike D 3, Dave 2, Fred 2, Peter 0

Chart changes:

None but just check how close certain pairs are: Ian/Dave, Steve/Mike D, Fred/Papa, Malc/Colin. There is still plenty to play for up to the end of 2007. Game On!
