Tonight’s most enjoyable festivities were participated in by: Pete, Dave, Doddy and JA.
We started off with a quick practice; although this soon ground to a halt when JA announced that he had been perusing a Prince Albert piercing while on holiday! Apparently JA (and his wife) had been playing boule in a naturist area. It seems one of his opponents had some scrap metal through his nob, and it quite put JA off his game. Still I suppose it gives you somewhere to hang your boule between throws.
I did notice rather a glint in JA’s eyes and wondered if he had been to see the local ironmonger himself while out there, particularly after he mentioned something to me about ‘blowing it out and shutting it tight’, although he reckoned that was dart talk. I will leave you to be the judge of that.
After Doddy, Dave and I had flipped our flipometers and JA had flicked his Prince we decided the teams were Pete and Dave ‘v’ Doddy and Prince Jelly Arm.
We ended up playing seven games, of those five were very close and three were bull fights. As is often the case this isn’t always reflected in the results. The final score line was PD 123457/W6 DJA. I have to say that a 2-5 or 3-4 result would have reflected the play more reasonably but of course Dave and I are grateful to receive a 6-1 win!
Notable Events:
JA did some excellent Bull/Semi work along with quite a few trebles.
Doddy had some excellent treble throws and (if I remember correctly) in one turn had two trebles and a semi.
Dave also partook of some treble action but also cranked out some great three singles at a time darts just when they were needed, spot on!
Pete was doing ok on semis and managed a bull semi finish in the last game.
Bull Wars: JA 3, Pete 2, Dave 1. Making JA the Bullmeister for the night.
Chart Changes:
Pete’s score increases by about 2.5% which moves him up a slot to fourth place. Dave’s score ramps up by nearly 6% which elevates him two positions to sixth place. Doddy’s score drops by about 3% however he doesn’t change position; JA takes a whopping 11.9% drop which moves him down the ladder by four places to eighth place.
It is worth mentioning that JA was hit harder by his loss because of a relatively low attendance rating. Because everybody’s % is based on the number of games they have played that they have won the more often you play the less dramatic the effect is. Fewer games played but won can mean an astronomic climb but a loss will also produce a dramatic plummet. Play more for more accurate results!
JA is due to play again shortly so hopefully he will be on the winning side and recover his losses!
Following this week we have another highly competitive outing next week: Pete, Papa, Dave, Steve CM and John. Again, I would expect a close result but you just can’t tell, so it is GAME ON!
