We are almost there, the end of the 2008 season and as I had been predicting there were still things to play for and there still might be further changes after tonight’s revelations, which are:
‘Twas a cold, dark, wet night and nothing was a stirring in the fiefdom of Nelly except the BAD BOYS!
Unfortunately Doddy had to drop out for the evening but we still had players a plenty with Pete, Ian, Dave, JA and Casablanca Mike all ready to hurl arrows by the stroke of eight. The flipometers pitched Ian and CM ‘V’ Pete, Dave and Mike-D. A decent draw I reckon, and then battle commenced.
The games were a mixed bag, a couple with a reasonable score difference, some quite close and some excruciatingly close, particularly the last one (take a look at the blackboard picture!)
The final score line was PDM 14567 / 23 CMI
As you can see, PDM took first blood and then lost out until around the half way mark when things started going their way again. It has to be said that game seven was a real frightener that could have gone either way; in fact CM and Ian were making all the headway. I reckon that if they had got game seven then they would have rightly asked for an eighth and probably have forced a draw; they were in ascendance at the end of the evening.
Jelly Arm Davies was definitely MOTM, he played very well and once again raised his game above performance for the earlier part of the year. JA is definitely going to be a greater threat to all in 2009 than 2008!
Notable Events:
Nothing outrageous, but there were some great darts played by both teams including at least a couple of double semis and a shang-hai (Ian I believe).
Bull Wars: A top result, all players had a bull, the final tally was: CM 2, Ian 2, Dave 2, Mike-D 1, Peter 1.
Chart Changes: There are two changes this week. Firstly Mike-D (JA) has sneaked ahead of Colin’s final %. Dave has managed a near end of season boost to pull slightly ahead of Ian by a microscopic 0.17%!
This brings me on nicely to the end of the year. There are potentially two fixtures left, currently:
23rd December Peter, Dave, Steve and CM
30th December Peter and Ian.
The 23rd is valid as long as nobody drops out, and anyone else who can play is welcome. The 30th currently only has two players, if others would like to play then it will count towards the years total, if not as it is only two players it will be marked as a friendly only and not contribute to the year totals.
Please let me know if you are not already booked and able to attend any of these final 2008 fixtures.
Game On!
