Sun star man:-ODD JOBIs Jurassic Park just fiction or could it become reality? I would have thought fiction but now I am not so sure. I would never have believed in the possibility of the re-appearance of creatures that have not been around for years until I went to the Pot Black last night and Dave (Tommo) Thompson walked in! We knew we were missing lots of players and thought he had come to our rescue but he was only there to invite us to his 40th birthday party, a surprise in itself as we all thought he was 45! Nice to see you Tommo.
We would like to say that we are strong enough that we can rotate our squad and that we had our Carling Cup side out last night but in truth we were missing some of our big guns (especially Shoot em up and Clint). On the subject of our lack of players we would like to thank Kingy who responded to a desperate phone call by flying in from Abu Dabi to make up the numbers. Obviously I rewarded him by leaving him out all night as we had 8 anyway.
Without Goochy, Billy, Stridey and Clint we needed to shake up the side in order to try and get something out of the ex servs a so there were some different pairings on show. Hos and Gally started off but their opponents were too strong. Me and Darren went next but they took out an 88 finish with us on 52. Moysie and Yid had our first darts at the double of the night but couldn’t finish. Last on were Wally and Magoo but they didn’t get away until half past ten so we were 4-0 down after the doubles.
We needed a rot-stopper and when Moysie hit 123 and 180 we thought we were on the way but he couldn’t finish and we were 5-0 down. The rot was stopped in the next leg by a good game from Wally. Then I won to make it 5-2. Was the come back on? NO! Hos played well but his opponent played better and Darren then lost to leave the game over at 7-2.
Next on wa Paul Gallagher. Now what can I tell you about Paul. Earlier in the evening he had been compared to a bouncer whilst having a fag outside the potty and when it was asked what he would look like in a suit, someone said “Odd Job”. Now we all know that Odd Job has been practising more than our entire A Team put together but no one was really prepared for what happened...He has come back this year with a renewed enthusiasm and was looking forward to a first singles of the year. With no-one realising the game was actually on the way, we turned around to see that Paul had got away first time. It was a bit confusing though, how on earth did he hit 14.2?? no hang on, surely not 142?? Yes it was, a high start to get going. A few throws later and his lowest score on the board was 60 and he was down to a double hope he doesn’t struggle to finish. No problem straight in double twelve. We have never seen him so focussed. He attributes his new form and confidence to being regularly thrashed by a 14 year old (hold on I don’t like the way our team is going we already have one Paedo on the books).
Yiddo and Magoo were our last two players but both lost to finish 9-3 to them.
I expect to have a full squad available next week and some selection headaches. So far we are 100% at home and 0% away so lets see if we can keep the home form going.
See you soon
