Darts – The Redbond Revival.


Dave 68.42% Peter 64.10% Ian 58.97% Steve 45.00% Mike D 38.46%
Papa 35.00% Colin 33.33% Doddy 32.00% Malc 00.00% Fred 00.00%

A stunning evening’s darts!

Even the pickometer could tell it was a special occasion, it took four flips to make the teams. Sadly Steve and Colin had to drop out but luckily this Still left Pete, Dave, Doddy and ‘Teddy’ Rushton at the oche. The finally flipped teams were Pete and Dave ‘V’ Ian and Doddy.

We played a boisterous and exciting 6 games leading to a 5 - 1 victory to Pete and Dave, the final score line was ID 1 / 23456 PD. Out of the six games only one was a walkover the rest were very exciting.

The first game saw Ian and Doddy snatch a win by piling seven semis in to the board, At this point Dave and I were looking very worried about how the rest of the evening would go. By the closing stages of game four it looked like it was going to be two all but Dave and I just managed to grab it on bulls.

Then it was on to game five which was one of the most exciting we have played. Ian and Doddy had an amazing start and were around 140 points ahead and showing no signs of slowing, Dave and Pete piled in a massive number of seventeens and took a good lead; only to find a little later that the opposition turned the tables again, the lead changed several times finally leaving Ian and Doddy ahead by over 100 with semis already on the board. Somehow we stole it on bulls. I haven’t seen a game swing between teams as many times and as heavily since we started, bloody amazing.

At various points in the evening EVERY player was well ahead of their usual game and for the first time I feel justified in saying that there were four MOTM, everyone deserved the accolade.

Bull Wars: Peter 4, Dave 2, Ian 2, Doddy 1.

Chart Changes: Dave moves up to first place, Pete moves up to second position, Ian drops from pole position to third place and in a cruel twist of fate Doddy drops to last place.

No doubt it will be all change again by the end of the month...

Game On!
