Greetings darts fans and welcome to the new season.
There has been much activity over the summer with the arrival of two new signings for the Pot Black B. firstly we have Shane Henry who joined on a free transfer as he was available on a bosman. This signing was closely followed by a coup for the B team who fought off stiff competition to sign Trevor (the legend) Gooch from the Pot Black A side, for a fee believed to be in the region of half of lager and a packet of peanuts. following these signings, the teams owner Mick (Roman Abramovich) Wall told sky sports news "these new signings show the ambition of the team to progress within the premier league. I am also pleased to report that no players have left the team, which proves to our supporters that we are not a selling club, and that no other team in their right mind would want them!!!.
The opening game of the campaign saw the team travel away to newly promoted Tudor Rose. The initial expectation of lots of quality players soon faded when we realised on the night that 7 of our players were missing for the season curtain raiser. After much work behind the scenes (Including asking Chris 'Barman' Read if he'd play.....how desperate!!!) we managed to obtain the services of Steve (yiddo) Northfield, who took time out from his busy schedule of moving house to turn up and lose twice. This is the sort of dedication we are looking for.
The match got off to a slow start with Steve (eagle eyes) Moyse and Ozzie (must find a better nickname) Osborne snatching defeat from the jaws of victory after around 128 darts at a double. the match was levelled when yours truly and Paul (lurch) Tyler won and this was followed by a debut win for the legend, ably supported by Billy (bungle) Bennett. The next game saw the first defeat of the night for yiddo, partnered by a disgruntled Mick Wall, who had no excuses apart from the fact that he was not expecting to play and had, therefore, not come out earlier for his usual warm up of several pints.
The doubles finished 2-2 and the first game of singles saw the yiddo put up a very good performance and narrowly lose. Highlight of the game was the near 180 from steve, who followed two perfect 60's with a dart that nearly hit the ceiling.
Good wins followed for Moysie and Oz before yours truly went down in a tough game to a former Pot Black favourite, Steve (piggy) Wylds. Paul (lurch) Tyler then steadied the ship before the legend went down to an excellent game from Dave Newrick. The last two games saw Mick Wall and Billy Bennett go down to leave us with a 7-5 loss and no points on the board.
we expect to see the return of some absentees next week and hope to kick start the season.
see you next week.
