FIRST HALF DONE!


Back again boys!
I hope the 'Weekend Sportsman' (Paul) can manage next weeks blog as I can't make darts this week!

LTFC away this week.

On arrival it was nice to see the place freshly refurbished and looking good. Bardy had finally finished his sleepathon and was available for selection this week. Well done for all the money you raised mate!

First doubles up was Cobby (Me) and The Snatch-u-ral (Ed). It was clear to see from the practice darts thrown that the atmosphere was becoming intense as at least 25 people had gathered around to lend their support. During the match the cheering became excessive even for our standards bearing in mind it was a Friday night match up! At times you just had to take a step back from the oche, compose yourself and wait for the noise levels to fall. It became so tense towards the end of the leg, I was starting to shake! A few nervy throws later and the place erupted as the winning double was hit! The Bull (Terry Jenkins) had just beaten The Sulk (Raymond Van Barneveld)! Shortly after the news was broken I slip a nice little double 2 in to secure the victory 1 - 0.

Not sure on the remaining doubles as I was listening to the post match interview with Matt Smith, but there were a couple of tight matches as the score went in our favour 3 - 1. The momentum picked up in the singles apart from a little blip with Liquids (Kelvin) losing to finish up the night with a very respectable 10 - 2 win. Well done lads.

Skip (Craigo) left shortly after the walls sausages had run out and said we didn't need a taxi as there were only 9 of us! Lucky for us that Fluffy double checked before leaving and confirmed that we had 10 but still didn't need a taxi !!! With one car full I did the honourable thing and ran across the wet road as it rained heavily to squeeze into Liquids car! To my surprise the car was already full which meant we actually had 11 people and I was the Fcuking left over!

A quick phone call to 51 taxis and I hopped into the next available taxi that arrived which certainly wasn't a 51! CHEERS!

I managed to get revenge back at the Pot Black with a second place finish at spoof and a small £3 prize to cover the taxi fare! Well done to Smasher (Craig) who beat me comfortably in the final.

Pot Black closing time and we finally got it right this week and went straight to Flames!!!!!

Business done for another week then. Good luck this week boys.

PS - In case anyone missed the episode of Gavin & Stacey last week I have recorded it. It is the episode where they turn up late to the Kebab shop (Flames) after a busy nights work for Stacey! Just let me know and I'll Bluetooth you the episode!!!

PPS - And I thought Gavin was spending more time down the Pot Black to be with his mates. . . . . . ?
