Darts – Is John really Gary Glitter?

As last week’s cold snap was over, the Bad Boys managed to walk rather than slide up to the hut... For the second week of the new season it was another full house. Peter, Ian, Malc, Casablanca Mike, Stan the Man and Steve.

I broke out the flipometers without my usual silly question of what colour do you want (they are two sided, red and green) only to find that Teddy Boy Rushton complained that he had the wrong colour, I suppose it’s my fault for spoiling him! After we flipped out the teams were Peter, Ian and John ‘V’ Casablanca, Steve and Malc.

We launched straight in to the games, despite what you will see shortly as the final score line the games were a mixed bag, one or two were substantial wins, most were close and a couple saw the lead swap at least once, however the final score line didn’t really reflect the efforts of the losing team.

Score Line PIJ 123467 / 5 CSM

As always (well nearly as always) all players had some purple patches, particularly in evidence was Mr Rushton and Mr Morgan who both take MOTM for the evening. I am particularly pleased about this as both these guys dipped towards the end of last year, so back on form!

Notable Events:

John has taken the top spot on his first outing of 2009. Is he really the leader of the gang? Only time will tell!

Malc didn’t have his best game tonight but he sure as hell guaranteed his team their only win in game five with the deadest centre bull seen for months.... Go Malc Go!

As previously mentioned Ian and Steve were throwing some excellent darts. Ian even threw some when it wasn’t his turn, mind you Steve quickly pointed out that they wouldn’t count.

John had some new darts with flights so small that if they had been girl’s knickers he would have been arrested. Hmmm... I expect he will have traditional bloomers on next time he chucks them. Oops... on the darts I mean!

Malc is AW(O)L for the next 8 weeks, so please try to take up the slack in your Feb and March bookings... I said slack!

Bull Wars: CM 2, Ian 2, John 2, Malc 1 (but what a one!), Pete and Steve SFA.

Chart Changes:

It has to be said that things are very volatile in the charts for the first few weeks, so maybe there isn’t a lot of point analysing trends yet. However, clearly having the new boy in the number one spot isn’t a trend the rest of us like the look of, any of you know how to cut the brake lines on Mercs?

If it is any consolation to other players I can guarantee that bottom three will move up and the top three will move down over the next couple of months, so it is as I normally say.....

GAME ON!
