Greetings those of the darting persuasion!
A full house at Nailsworth’s premier darts club, the hut was heaving with 6 bad boys raring to fling arrows.
Several flips of the ‘ometers’ were required to decide the night’s teams; in the end it was Peter, Papa and CM ‘V’ Dave, Ian and Doddy. You would have thought that was going to be a fairly even night’s honours, but once again lady luck smiled on some and shat on others.
The first game was stunningly close with the game decided on one semi either way, eventually going to PPCM. Four more games followed all were close at one time or another, had the lead swapped or changed hands near the end, however something they all had in common was that PPCM won the buggers. We were looking like having a clean sweep until the sixth game when DID got their act together and commanded the game from the start, we tried hard to catch up, but never made it.
So the final score line was PPCM 12345 / DID 6.
It has to be said DID were not happy with their performance but remained cheerful (well mostly) and very sporting throughout the evening. At one point however Ian felt totally underwhelmed by his performance and offered to the rest of us “The less turns I have the better”, followed by much sympathy and jocularity from the opposition of course.
Notable Events:
Dave got three of the same treble in one turn; sadly it wasn’t a scoring one....
PPCM had two Bull/Semi finishes.
Doddy didn’t break wind.
Papa was ‘on team’! and playing well, At least two treble 17’s I seem to remember.
Bull Wars: CM 2, Pete 2, Dave 1, Doddy 1.
Chart Changes: Papa and Doddy swap places moving Papa up to 6th place and Doddy down to 7th.
The gap between CM and Teddy has widened to 3%; competition between Mike and Ian for the rest of this season will be crucial and may well be in the lap of the flipometer. Ian must also consider Dave who isn’t that far behind him! Steve now has Papa close behind and of course Doddy who will be itching for revenge.
Both Doddy and Mike D are playing next week so there are more possible upsets afoot.
So - Game On!
Peter x
