Darts – The return of the Radish!

Greetings darts aficionados, firstly let me say that when we heard John was playing this evening, Doddy and I mentioned that we might be prepared to throw a game or two (for cash) to bring his score % down. I must make it absolutely clear this was just a joke not a serious offer... I mean we are darts players, not snooker champions!

So tonight was quite special, the first time this year that we had a full house... 6 players.

They were:

Peter, Papa, John, CM, Doddy and Ian. A few flips of the dedicated darts coins produced sides of : Papa, Ian and CM 'v' Peter, John and Doddy. After a bit of practice and (for some) the inevitable chinwag about the woes of Forest Green Rovers we were ready to go!

John won the middle for diddle with a semi, and off we went. PICM crushed us in the first two games, although nothing was said at this point (we agreed later) PJD though that this would continue for the rest of the evening, frankly we felt outclassed...

But something wonderful started to happen, PJD picked up the pace and took the next two games, lost the fifth, took the sixth, lost the seventh and grabbed the eighth. This means the final score line was PICM 1257 / 3468 a 4 – 4 Draw! By the end of the evening I actually felt that is was a just result. Hoorah to everyone!

Notable Events:

Papa turned up with refurbished radishes, courtesy of darts corner he had feather flights on his old 'bombs' and he played pretty well with them as well.

Johnny boy lost some of his magnificent %, although it is still pretty good. He also had a bull semis finish to a game – just when we had to have it.

Generally there were some good scoring combos achieved including bull semis for other players, double trebles and the like.

Mr Dodd played very well and for my money was MOTM for playing above his usual game, keep it up Mr Meister!

I am sure there was other great stuff but I can't recall it at the moment!

Bull Wars: John 2, Papa 1. CM 1, Peter 1.

Chart Changes: NONE! But % have moved! Peter gains 0.11% Whoopee Dooo... Ian drops about 0.5%, Doddy rockets up a tad over 7%! Casablanca drops around 1% and Papa goes up 1.4% courtesy of the radishes!


A great evening's darts and more to come I am sure... Game On!
