Darts – Twas the night before Christmas









Well almost, there were certainly creatures stirring in the bad boy hut, namely Peter, Dave, Cass and Steve.

At eight of the clock the four of us flipped the golden doubloons of the dart hut only to find they were all red. After a bit more flipping we were set with an excellent pairing; Pete and Steve ‘V’ Dave and Cass.

As potentially the last game of the year there was quite a lot riding on this evening’s game, certainly the fate of Ian and Dave’s close positions (mere hundredths of a % point apart) would be decided.

The first and second game went to Steve and Pete, the third and fourth to Dave and Casablanca Mike, at this stage it was looking like the expected draw or near draw for the evening, however that wasn’t what happened. Pete and Steve bagged the next four games gaining a 6 – 2 victory. The final score line being:

PS 125678 / DCM 24.

Now I can’t let that result go without some proper explanation. There were several games that Mike and Dave could have won and maybe should have won! They had one big problem; Steve and I were incendiary, truly on fire!

There were a couple of games where DCM were a hundred plus ahead but somehow Steve and I managed to catch up and steal those games. We were belting trebles and bulls in all over the place. Under normal circumstance I reckon a small win would have been more appropriate.

Notable Events:

Plenty of good darts from both sides’ double doubles and shanghais etc.

Pedro’s treble action, a bizarre amount of trebles were thrown, often on the first dart killing the oppositions lead on a number. Seriously it was quite frightening, as Colin used to say several months ago ‘How can you play against that?”

Double semis from Dave.

Double bulls from Steve!

One game had a hundred plus lead destroyed and the game lost by literally boat loads of fourteens being scored by the opposition.

Bull Wars: Peter 6, Cass 3, Steve 2.

Chart Changes:

Ian returns to third place as Dave drops to fourth. Steve opens the gap between himself and Doddy.

This may be the final position for the year. Ian and I are currently the only bad boys scheduled to play on the 30th December. As I have said previously if only two players attend a fixture this will not count towards league results. However both Steve and Dave have said they have an interest in attending the final fixture of the year! So we will see if this transpires, I know it is a busy time. Needless to say if any other Bad Boys fancy a mid-xmas break at the darts hut then just shout, you will be most welcome.

In any event I will attempt a short round up of the 2008 season before the first game of 2009 kicks of on the 6th of January!

Game On

Peter x
