Darts – Almost too close to call!

Peter 61.25% Ian 54.29% Dave 51.32% Mike D 46.03% Steve 46.03%
Papa 43.96% CM 40.91% Doddy 37.33% Colin 34.78% Malc 27.27%

Greetings Nailsworth Darts Clubbers!

Tuesday night started off with a last minute player change... Steve had to drop out due to his stomach erm.... dropping out... (Still suffering from too much shampoo from the weekend wedding reception methinks!), fortunately I received a call from Honda informing me that Casablanca Mike was itching to throw darts at the floor (more of this later) sorry I mean at the dart board! And so it was that at 8.00pm we had a quorum of Bad Boys ready to play; Pete, Papa, Dave and CM.

The first round of the flipometers isolated Mike but it took several flips before the pairings became Pete and Dave ‘v’ Papa and CM. Mike took the middle for diddle and away we went. The first game was a walkover for Papa and CM, leaving Dave and Pete looking very worried. The second also went to Papa and CM although by a smaller margin.

Pete and Dave gave themselves a serious talking to and managed to muster some form for the third game... Must have been a hell of a talking to because we managed to take the fourth and fifth as well! Just when we were beginning to think we might have the evening in the bag Casablanca Mike and Stroud Papa had a return to form and took the sixth... Which of course meant that all bets were off for the seventh, it was bound to be a very tense finale! Fortunately for Dave and Pete they managed to sneak in a win to grab victory for the evening. Ye-hah!

This of course brings us to a final score line of CM-P 126/3457 PD.

Notable events:

Papa was red hot in the first few games and although the pace didn’t last all night there certainly wasn’t anyone who matched his hot streak, he was certainly good enough to be MOTM.

Shang-Hi Mike scored another Casablanca, hah, you all know what I really mean.

Speaking of Casablanca and Mike; he showed us a little known Casablancan darts ritual where if you don’t get the score you want for a few turns you hurl your three darts (all at once) at the floor. It was quite spectacular but I hope it doesn’t catch on as what with that and Papa’s rebounds the floor is beginning to look like it has woodworm.

Bull Wars Pete 3, Dave 2, CM 2, Papa 1.

Chart Changes: None.... However Pete took a small % decrease, Papa takes a miniscule decrease (0.09%) and CM gains almost 1% Dave gains 0.6%. It has to be noted that CM has attended 3 times and has increased his % each time. Clearly his ex-championship status is showing through!

Dave is 3% behind Ian and determined to take second place as his first stop on the path to world domination. Steve and Mike D are still level to an unmentionable number of decimal places....

And as if that wasn’t enough MALC is playing next week, stand by your quadrants men!

Game on!
