Darts – Dave Demonstrates 'Fo(u)rplay'

Greetings followers of the dark art of bad boy darting. Try saying that with your teeth in while sucking the wrong end of a donut!

It was a cool but clear evening; the hut was warmed to a perfect (in my humble opinion) 15-18 degrees. Tonight's talent was Pete, Dave, Mr 100% and Doddy. A quick flip of ye olde bespoke darts flippers decided that the teams would be Pete and John 'v' Dave and Doddy.

John took the middle for diddle with a semi, and we were off! Readers, I have to tell you that the evening scores were a little one-sided, but not completely. The final score line was PJ 123457 / 6 DD. Making a rather convincing 6 – 1 win to Mr (almost) 100% and Peter.

I don't think either Dave or Doddy will be offended if I say that they just couldn't get in to their full stride for the evening whereas Pete and John (particularly John) were firing on all cylinders, John was MOTM.

Notable events:

John lost a game...

There was the usual flurry of doubles and trebles for most folks, but more regularly for the eventual winners.

A game was stolen on bulls.

Either Dave or John managed a double scoring treble turn

The number of bulls for the evening were very light, only four in total.

Dave showed us what darts fourplay is: chuck a dart a couple of feet in front of you then grab it and throw again.... thus four darts, four-play! Anyone trying for five-play will be asked to leave the hut.

Despite the one sided score the games were fun and a good evening was had win or lose.

Bull Wars: Dave 1, Doddy 1, Peter 1, John 1. No Bullmeister this week!

Chart Changes: Peter goes up (with a 5% gain) to fourth place, bumping Dave down a spot; sadly Dave takes a massive -15% hit. John retains top spot but drops from 100% to 92.86%. Remarkably Doddy's percentage remains unchanged at 14.29%

Next week looks like a three man game between Pete Ian and Papa, so if anyone can pull an extra game to make up the numbers please shout ASAP.... Steve, put that phone down.... you have to turn up to make up the numbers!

Game On!

Peter x
