THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL


Pot Black Under 15's, Ready and the resident Pot Black peado Senior Wall (the only player above 50 with a group of kids around him) went into this game flying high after the previous weeks draw. During the week, there were various injury doubts with Butchers leg somewhat falling off again and new starlet Liam Harvey suffering from an STD on the side of his elbow. However, after much worrying, the team came together and Senior Wall was bolstered by the return of Liam (missile darts) Harvey, Simon (I don't need practice) Blyth and Max (I don't want to play) Wall to the squad which lead to Peter (ringer) Baker not even making the starting 10.

The quadruples and trebles were shared alike to the last week. Double 2 got a peppering with each Pot Black finish coming on this low double (shows the high standard of darts). Notable performances were from Chris (Even more snail) Read and Max (Maybe I do want to play occasionally) Wall who's scoring was impressive throughout.

The singles got under way with a 123 and 100 from Butcher on the way to an emphatic victory (double 2 finish again) which left Senior (peado) Wall distinctly unamused "Why can't the prat ever do that in the doubles as my partner?!" Aaron (has he ever thrown a dart) Cooper was up next with a resounding defeat before Adam (the blonde Wade) Bird got undone by a superb 138!!!! finish. The score was at 5-4 and up next was the previous weeks superstar Jason (same top) Russell. The crowd waited impatiently for what surely would be a certain victory. To there dismay, he was SHOCKING. With not one score over 26, the end of season drinking funds were looking arousingly good. Ash (Chris Griffin from Family Guy) Moore was up next and fell to a man who looked certain to have been a german soldier in the 1st World War (he was too old to have fought in the 2nd world war). Simon (steady) Blyth pulled one back to leave the score perched at 6-5. Senior (flick) Wall was below par with his usual flick ending up more like a nervous twitch by the end of his dour defeat and meant PB could now only salvage a draw. Chris (drunken snail) Read stormed out of the blocks with rumours going around that he was Mervyn Kings new practice partner. However, the heat of the lights and PB oche got the better of him, and similar to Andy Fordham, he began to feel faint and found it hard to hit anything other than the big 1. The crowd were relieved that they didn't have to perform any resuscitation techniques at the end of the loss. Ready has handed in his sick note and will be unavailable for selection for the next 2 weeks (Oh no, what a disaster). Liam (missile) Harvey was up last and lived up to his name to pull a consolation leg back in style, by far the best leg of the night. Senior Wall was rather unhappy though after he found that the underpinning from his foundations of the dart board wall needs replacing after the sheer force of power that Harvey throws his darts with.

Please note- Darren (tonne head "I'm gonna win") Laws was not present in this weeks singles after failing to live up to his previous weeks hype.

All and all, another great week of darts with another impressive and surprising result!! Lets keep it up!!

BREAKING NEWS- A recent theory has leaked that it wasn't actually Jason (same top) Russell who stormed to a first week miraculous singles victory...it has emerged that Shagggggggyyyyy was actually the player but the dark lights in Ex Servicemans lead to no PB member noticing! Scoooooobyy Dooooobyy Dooooooooo.

Next game- Dutchmans.
