Darts – Bad Boys, a joy to play; win or lose?



Another brilliant evening in the hut! Six spear chuckers all determined to win and giving it their all, you really can’t ask for more than that. The competition was very intense.

After a very prompt arrival the crew had a quick practice, notably no one went for double elevens, must have been because the Rushton was not in the house!

The flipometers were used several times before the final teams were decided: Casablanca Mike, Doddy and Mike Davies ‘V’ Peter, Dave and Papa. Did any of you notice that the first team comprised of three Mikes?

Mike Davies noticed (being one of the three Mikes) and immediately asked me if I could check the club statistics to see if three Mikes had ever played together before?

Rather than check I told him to fuck off and look on the blog for himself! This isn’t boule Jelly Arm the tools are there, do your own research! Sometimes I think I am too polite and accommodating to members!

The evening was supercharged with all matches being well contested, some more than others but a good showing all around. The first match started at full pelt, not the usual ramp up. It was hard fought from the start with players doubling, trebling and shag-hi-ing all over the place.

CMDMD took the next three games and although some could have gone either way it was looking bad for PDPAPA. I told Dave it would be a game of two halves but sadly the second half was too short!

The final score line was CMDMD 1234 / 56 PDPAPA. CMDMD definitely deserved to win as they certainly played better through the evening, but it was very close, a draw was only ever a dart away!

Notable Events:

Although not on duty, Teddy rang at about 10.30 for a heads up on how the %’s were shaping up, now that is what I call dedication!

Doddy played some stunning darts, doing an Old Mac Donald on trebles amongst other things. He definitely gets MOTM on two counts. Playing above his usual standard and playing bloody good darts full stop!

Mike-D had a Bull +Semi.

Doddy had a double semi

Pete, Doddy and hell, I think nearly everybody had a Shang-Hi during the evening they were happening all over the place!

The same can’t be said for bulls.....

Bull Wars: Dave was King! No doubt about it. Dave 5, CM 1, MD 1, Pete 1, Papa 1

Chart Changes: Amazingly only one change!
Doddy climbs the ladder from eighth to seventh position while Dave obligingly slides down the snake from seventh to eighth. However there is more interest here....

Papa is still in first place! But less than 0.25% ahead of Ian. Peter and CM are equal third place at 53.06%. John and Mike-D are equal fifth place at 50.00% and Steve and Malc are equal ninth place at 14.29%!

So, all things being equal... I can say it is definitely GAME ON!
