Darts – Sometimes lady luck is a bitch!

Peter 61.73% Ian 54.76% Dave 50.00% CM 50.00% Steve 45.24%Papa 41.67% Mike D 39.51% Doddy 38.24% Colin 34.78% Malc 31.71%

Yo brothers and fellow Nailsworth darters. The hut was heaving to full capacity this Tuesday with six bad boys on the oche. We had a couple of flips of the flipometers and the teams panned out as Teddy R, Papa and Mike D (J.A.) ‘V’ Pedro, Dave and Casablanca Mike.

I’m going to make the report short this week, not drag out the agony, not keep folks guessing what the result was, wondering who took a whooping and who didn’t, no opening wounds that might be starting to heal, no ritual humiliation of the losers, no smug one-upmanship!

So straight on with the results, Teddy’s Toreadors team got whooped 5 – 1 by Pedro’s portfolio of pooftas. Yes indeed! Score Line IPMD 1 / 23456 PDCM.

Enough of this tomfoolery, actually it was a great evening’s darts. I have to say one of the most competitive and focused that we have had for many months. Everyone was out to win and the concentration of all the players was palpable.

Yet again the results don’t even tell half the story. Rushers team played far too well to only win one game, all the games but one were close with bull finishes required, however PDCM seemed to clinch them. Certainly 2 – 4 would have been a more accurate result and a tie was never out of the question in terms of performance. But them’s the breaks and we must all take what lady luck dishes out.

Notable events: In one game PDCM were 8 bulls behind and managed a phenomenal comeback to snatch the game, the whole team got stuck in but Dave scoring three in one turn certainly made it a lot easier. Commiserations to IPMD, it should have been their win.

Bull Wars: Ian 2, MD 1, Pedro 1, Dave 1.

Chart Changes: Remarkably no one changes places! However Dave and Casablanca Mike are now in equal third place as they are both on exactly 50%. Both have risen around 2 % and Ian has dropped 1% to close the gap to less than 5%. Papa and Mike D also drop, Papa around 1% and Mike D about 1.5% Mike gets the worst hit as he has a lower attendance record, although a big win would see it shoot up faster as well, so swings and roundabouts.

Please let me have your OCTOBER Dates...

GAME ON!
