Greetings Bad Boys
It was an unusual fixture for me this week as I didn't play! Due to a poorly foot I was hobbling around and although I started a game I was barely a quarter of the way through when I decided to relax on the sidelines and watch Rushers and Casablanca duke it out.
As I wasn't paying attention 100% of the time I decided to ask Mr Rushton to present some of his highlights which go something like this:
Ian's Report:
The flipometer paired Poorly Pete and CM against Ian.
It started well for Ian, Pete played poorly (not his fault) but due to his being poorly with a poorly foot.
He had our sympathy. He retired during the first game leaving me to rack up the win of the first game.
The next 8 games can best be reported under a very general description covering them all. The first part of each game was played against a background of CM cursing his inability to hit the targets he was going for and watching me amass a score of at least 50 and in some games considerably more.
The second part of the game was then played against a background of me cursing my inability to hit the targets I was going for and watching CM wipe out the deficit and amass a lead of at least 50 and often more.
The final part of the game, the bull war, left me always wanting at least 6 to the CM 3, and every time I failed.
I was of course conscious of the entertainment of the crowd and tried desperately hard to break this losing sequence by varying the tactics employed. I tried everything I could think of like highest numbers first, random choice of numbers first, ‘quadrant’ numbers early on, leave CM to score on his chosen number and just go for mine until one of us cracked. No variations helped me to fix my inability to win another game.
We both played some good darts, in our own sections of the games, but in summary Teddy was well and truly stuffed.
Back to Pete:
So as you can tell a bit of a one sided final score line Ian 1 / 23456789 CM.
Notable Events:
I didn't play, bummer, but I have to say it was enjoyable to watch, CM deserved to win but I can't say Rushers should have lost by that margin... But then CM played for a lot of the evening like a man on fire, he really does deserve MOTM.
If you take a look at the picture of the scoreboard you might be able to make out the word mushroom on it. Can you believe CM's brain is now so addled that he has the cheek to use the sacred board as his shopping aid! I hope he forgot to buy them on the way home....
Bull Wars: CM 4, Ian 3. CM=BM.
Chart Changes: No, % changes Yes... Ian drops around 3.5% while CM rises by about 2.5%.
But hey, the year is young, not half way through yet so it is still, Game On!
