Darts – Doddy and Mike get the rough end of the pineapple.



Peter 68.00% Ian 68.00% Dave 61.54% Mike D 38.46% Doddy 36.84%
Steve 33.33% Papa 33.33% Colin 33.33% Malc 00.00% Fred 00.00%

Tuesday night turned out to be a five man game. In a cruel twist of fate the flipometers decided that Mike D and Doddy should be pitched against last year’s top three players (Pete, Ian and Dave).

Six games were played finishing with a score line of PDI 12345/6 MD. Now it has to be said there were some exciting matches in there the score line does not reflect the effort put in by Mike and Doddy, they were robbed on one of the other games it could easily have been a 4 -2 finish rather that 5 - 1.

Notable events:

Several ‘double trebles’ were scored by various players along with shanghai.

Dave managed a bull and a treble in one go, this resulted in premature jubilation on Dave’s part as he thought the game was all over, people on the pitch etc. Mind you it was finished shortly afterwards, thankfully by Dave’s team. Premature jubilation and then losing would have been unbearable. Dave did point out this was the first time it had ever happened to him.

One game was played in what we used to refer to as ‘Rushton Style’; Mike D started it off by going straight for bulls and getting a semi on the first turn. This resulted in both sides clearing the bulls in short order and thus the game was decided on twelves and thirteens, bloody close it was as well!

Chart Changes:

Peter and Ian are still joint first; Dave has jumped up to third place and Mike D to fourth, forcing Doddy down to fifth place. Colin, Papa and Steve are joint sixth place. Malc and Fred have still yet to play this season.

Bull Wars: Mike D 2, Dave 2, Peter 1

So far this season we haven’t had a man of the match, it appears to be a lot harder to stand out with more folks playing at each event. But who knows, it could be you next week!

Game on!
