Darts - The Ghost Of Peter Past?


Tuesday night’s match was a three handed affair, I had hoped for four but trying to tie down Steve is more difficult than catching steam in a fishing net. The likely lads who put in an appearance were Peter, Dave and Ian.

After a couple of flips of the ‘flipometers’ the teams were decided as Peter ‘v’ Ian Dave. This was clearly a game that could go either way, but after my performance so far this season I wasn’t betting on a win for myself.

After the middle for diddle Pedros galloped away in the first game laying waste to a mightily surprised opposition. Actually Peds was pretty surprised himself. After that the second went the same way but not as dramatically as the first.

The third game was rather remarkable in that Dave and Ian started massacring Pierre from the start and were some 200 points ahead when it came to the bull shoot-out meaning that there was an 11 – 3 bull mountain to climb.

When Ian stuffed the final dart in the board to claim victory it was 1 – 1, another of those legendary catch-ups that we see now and then at Bad Boys.

After that Pete took the fourth and fifth, Dave and Ian the sixth and seventh leaving us with the possibility of a draw on the eighth. The final score line was P 12458 / 367 ID a 5 – 3 victory to Pedros.

Notable Events:

The major catch-up, already noted.

I believe all players had bull-semi turns if not all having bull-semi finishes.

Peter gained the second (Steve has the first) OTT: Order of the triple treble by hitting three treble thirteens in a turn, which all happened to be scoring.

Trebles all around, some dry patches for all however, Peds gets MOTM.

Bull Wars: Peter 6, Dave 5, Ian 1. Making Peds the Bullmeister for the evening despite the fact he had twice as many goes as the other players!

Chart Changes: Pete and Ian go up one place each and Dave goes down one.

Last week Dave was a little dismayed that the chart was originally published showing his position on the grid incorrectly. Don’t worry Dave I have double checked it this week and it definitely shows you in the correct place (behind Ian again).

I am so relieved to have won a few bloody games as you can probably tell!

Next week, Pete, Papa, Ian, CM and John.... Can John stay at 100%?

Game On!
