Darts – ‘Liquorice Malc’, I owe him a fiver!

Peter 59.39% Ian 53.67% Dave 50.51% CM 47.17% Mike D 46.03%
Steve 46.03% Papa 43.93% Doddy 38.64% Malc 37.14% Colin 34.78%

‘Twas a full house at Nelly’s finest private darts and sweetie emporium. Dave was first up the steps, followed a minute or two later by the unholy caravan of Ian, Doddy and Malc. Honda Mike appeared shortly after and was greeted with a ‘flipometer’, valiantly he managed to flip the ‘flipometer’ while juggling his beer and assembling his darts, winning skills in my opinion.

The result of six bad boys tossing was that Pete, Ian and Doddy were pitched against Dave, Malc and H/CM.

Action got underway and it has to be said that PID felt like they were floating on marshmallows after taking the opposition out big time on the first two games. It was all change in the third game when Bertie Bassett’s team (has anyone noticed how much Malc looks like Bertie Bassett?)

Anyway back to the third! PID tried hard to win but couldn’t help feeling they were wading through treacle on their way to the finishing line but by the end it was a very close game and we were left with the bitter taste of dark chocolate as Liquorice Malc and his all sorts took the game (Malc, I believe I have now fulfilled the reporting challenge you set me, and yes I still know I owe you a fiver)!

The fourth game was no Picnic; in fact it was a bit of a Marathon (no Snickering at that), however when it came to the final Crunchie LM’s team got it. I am sure that at one point during that game Malc Fudged the score; but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

The next two games fell to PID making a great Double Decker for the team score.

Finally it was on to game seven; both teams were so keen to win you would have thought there was a Bounty on it; however Bertie Bassett’s team managed to Wrigley their way to winning. This left a final score line of PID 1256/ 347 DMHM causing many Celebrations by the winners.

Notable events:

Dave had double treble top and nearly got the third.

HM had three darts at the bull hit two semis and apologised to his team for only getting two!

Somebody (I think it was Dave) got 7 x 17!

There were some fine examples given of the art of ‘Talking darts in’ to trebles and bull’s eyes.

Bullwars: Dave 2 Ian 2 Pete 2 Malc 1

Chart Changes:

None, Pete and Dave take a small downturn as does Honda Mike, his first in seven attendances. Malc, Doddy and Ian take a little upward kick.

All to play for in the mid table.... Game On!
