Pot Black B V Ex-servicemans
Hi Guys A very important game this week at home to the ex servs a. we knew a win would strengthen our position in third and give us a good chance of holding on to it but unfortunately we didn’t turn up. A poor start in the doubles saw us 3-0 down due to a combination of poor starting and poor finishing, with some poor scoring thrown in for good measure. Our western pairing of shoot em up an clint got one back for us with a good steady game. After oz lost the first singles, Hos held on well against adam flaxman, with adam playing fairly well despite struggling with dartitis (I think he is trying for the title of slowest throw in the league but is still well behind the leaders from our a team, flatty and hooky). Moysie then struggled and lost before our in-form player of the moment, Paul Tyler got us another leg. After this it was downhill all the way with Stridey, me, Bungle and Wally all losing to leave us at 9-3. An idea of how poor the whole game was, we hardly started any games with the first three darts. Even they were fed up with how they were playing and I don’t think a drink was bought all night with all players declining in a spirit of dejected embarrassment. I had decided not to cut my hair while we were still playing well and the quiff was rapidly re-appearing, may be time for a change. Still lets not get dejected, we are still in third and our destiny is in our own hands. We’d have taken that like a shot at the beginning of the season. Another week next week so lets get back on track. Now, where’s those scissors. See you soon Quiffless
