21ST MARCH (QUARTERS AND SEMIS K/OUT CUP)


Bank holiday, Good Friday and you're STILL expected to turn out for a game of darts.

Venue was the Uplands, and the teams were Pot Black vs Ex-Servicemen 'C' and Ex-Servicemen 'A' vs Ex-Servicemen 'HG'

Well, the draw certainly went in our favour! If we had have played any of the other two teams first it could have been good night, as we started terribly! It was certainly the worst I had played all season (that must have been bad) and I've never seen Paul (Harry Hill) play as bad either (Yes, really, I had never seen him play that BAD).

Paul (Harry Hill) and I (Linx) were the most shocked when we saw I names go down in the trebles, as we couldn't hit a barn door! Luckily we had Adam (Shrek, Rooney, Rogers) with us and he was even worse than us! Craig (Skip) said we were so bad, that he gave us another game as we needed the most practice!

Putting all the $hit performances out of the way (which didn't leave any others) we still managed to edge out a 5 - 3 victory and head into the semi finals.

Who did we have to play then??? We seemed to be paying more attention to this game than our own, which may explain some of the indifferent performances! the 'A' side went into a 3 - 1 lead after the doubles, and eventually won the match 5 - 3 to play us in the semi final.

Over the moon, the Pot Black 'A' lads got straight on the practice board to make sure we were back to our best, and it was a very convincing performance indeed. We won all four doubles matches and Me (Linx), Craig (Skip) and Matt (Serious) wrapped up the match with a 5 - 0 victory. Getting through was great but not as great to hear that the Marquis of Lorne had just been knocked out of the cup by the K.W.M.C. 'A', that was the icing on the cake.


(Picture shows Gary (fluffy) and Danny (Bardy) hearing that the Marquis had been knocked out!)
Well done lads, roll on finals night (Matt you better tell Gemma to hold on a bit longer).
