Darts – What a load of Bull!



Five bad boys gathered to play: Peter, Dave, John, Mike and Papa. It should have been six, but as it all too often the case Steve didn’t turn up or bother to let anyone know he wasn’t coming. Mr Unreliable!

I feel better now. We had a quick practice and then flipped the ‘ometers’. The eventual ‘flipping’ teams were Pete, ‘Butter Flippers’ Weaver and ‘Inspector’ Nutting ‘v’ Dave and Papa.

We zoomed in to the first game and PCMJ took a quick lead and took the leg, not to be outdone though, Dave and Papa fought back and commanded the second game right through to the finish.

Then PCMJ took the third and fourth, one of these was incredibly close with one team scoring on numbers and the other on bulls to determine the winner.

Dave and Papa took the fifth game whitewashing the opposition in the process. We took the sixth, they the seventh and us the eighth.

So it was all pretty competitive but at the end of the evening the score line stood at: PCMJ 134W68 / 257 DP Providing the winners with a 5-3 victory.

There were some great darts all round and very clear periods where one team or the other were definitely ruling the board. Yet again we see how psychological this game can be.

Notable Events: As is often the case now, people’s darts are of a high standard so there is less to stand out, but there were a lot off bulls scored tonight! Speaking of which....

Bull Wars: Papa 5, Dave 4, John 3, CM 2, Peter 1. 15 is a fair old haul for one evening, Papa was of course the Bullmeister with one third of all bulls scored.

Chart Changes: Just one, Papa slips to second place, making Ian the king of the castle, However There isn’t much in it and it could easily turn again over the next couple of weeks.

We are still only a third of the way in to this year’s season, so anything could still happen..... so it is GAME ON!
