Darts – Is Papa really ‘Wicked Uncle Ernie’?

Dave 68.42% Peter 60.00% Ian 58.97% Mike D 47.37%
Steve 45.00% Papa 42.31% Colin 33.33% Doddy 32.26%

We’re Bad! We’re Bad... Well, that Steve is really bad, this is the second week running he has cried off, I am beginning to wonder if he is trying to protect that 45% score!

We still managed a fairly full hut, five players: Peter, Doddy, Papa, Colin and Mike. A swift flip of the ‘ometers’ pitched Papa and Mike Davies against the rest of us. Papa and Mike both played very well, too well in fact they took the evenings honours 4 – 2. The final score line was PM 1245/36 PDC.

P&M hammered us in the first game, a complete drubbing; we nearly had the second, only to allow the dynamic duo to snatch it on bulls. We rallied a bit and took the third then the fourth and fifth were hard fought but were well deserved by Papa and Mike. Thankfully the tepid trio managed to stuff the eventual winners on the last game, making it look vaguely respectable.

Papa was definitely firing on all cylinders and easily walked away with MOTM. He also walked away with a suspect reputation after he confided in us that the secret of his excellent performance was that he had been playing with Pip in his bedroom. That’s just too much information don’t you think? I mean it’s just wrong...

Fortunately we had our resident social worker with us to help us understand, mind you he wasn’t much better at one point he announced that he would quite like to wear some ‘horse equipment’. We never really got to bottom of which particular items, when questioned he looked happy at the prospect of reigns, a bridle, a saddle, a nose bag or even a cart! So if you see a bloke wandering around Nailsworth in a horse coat and blinkers that will be bad boy Mike; and if you see a bloke wandering about Nailsworth being bad with a boy that will be Papa.

Notable events:

Mike got a formidable amount of trebles.

Papa got a ridiculously formidable amount of trebles.

Bull Wars: Papa 3, Mike 1, Doddy 1, Colin 1, Peter 0.

Chart Changes: Mike Davies jumps ahead of Steve.

There is now less that 5% between Mike, Steve and Papa. Less than 2% between Peter and Ian, the same is true for Doddy and Colin.

Game On!
