Another week goes by and another top 8 side in the first 7 matches! Cheers Dave!
Good news was heard by all this week! No it wasn't that Bardy couldn't make it (as his form was suspect of late)! It was Gottsfreecabs night again! This week it actually was Gottsfreecabs night! Again, for those that missed the picture last week I've added a more up to date photo for you to remember who we're talking about!
Don't ask me what he's doing holding a set of darts? It's for the cameras really and setting the scene!!!
Ole Frank away this week and we knew it would be another tough match, especially as TW@T was still playing for us this week!
Doubles
Well first up was TW@T relying on my strong (fat) shoulders as usual. Another high start from me made me smile. Not from a journal point of view, just because I could handle TW@T throwing second and hitting the a treble first dart, the tyre with the second and getting us away with a double on his last!!!
It was a tidy leg from us both (mainly me) and a lead away from home 0 - 1
Next was our famous two who reached the final last year, Skip and Snatch-u-ral! They had a tough match against Gary Bull and Paul Hunter. Bully was superb in the leg with a 112st, 180 and a 100 to leave us well behind and drawing the match level 1 - 1
Smasher and Fluff next up and again, a tough match against Wilson and Eddy. Me and skip debated who should start this leg as fluffy in my opinion is a reliable st-t-t-t-tarter! Skip went with Smasher and he went 152 away (that's why he is captain)! Kept our noses in front through the leg and edged it to take the lead again 1 - 2.
Serious and Gottsfreecabs (debut) next up and . . . . . 1 - 3 OMG! PS - Serious hit a 140 and he'll kill me if I don't mention it!
Singles
G Bull vs Fluffy. Not sure whether the pressure of the match was a factor or the amount of alcohol consumed was? It was a slightly less impressive performance than last weeks 16 dart leg and our second leg lost of the night 2 - 3.
Rubber Lips vs Skip. Skip was not really in the leg at all and was relying on some missed doubles towards the end of the leg to make the leg look closer! Many missed darts later and Skip stole the leg, with a very jubilant "Happy Birthday" was yelled out by the Pot Black boys 2 - 4!
Eddy vs Gottsfreecabs. With a victory already in the doubles we were just glad he could make it this week so we didn't have to play Chillo!!! With some handy darts thrown during the leg and a little luck on the way Gottsfreecabs produced another leg for us 2 - 5
B Bull vs Snatch-u-ral. The match was going our way so far, but we tried to hide our excitment and push on for the 6th and 7th legs! Can't remember too many fireworks in the leg but I know we liked the scoreline afterwards 2 - 6
The 6th leg in the bag and 4 more singles to get it from. . . . . .
G Cooper vs TW@T. Simply awful! 3 - 6
D Barkes vs Serious. OUCH! 4 - 6
S Wilson vs Smasher. DOH! 5 - 6
and finally. . . . .
Y Ergus vs Me. Cheers
If starting is my strong point then I'd hate to see me weak points as it took me 6 to get away (unnheard of)! Steady scoring with a 100 and 96 + a million 60's saw me take the lead in the leg. Sitting on 160 with my opponent to throw on 204 felt comfortable until T20, T20, S20 left him on 64. Another 100 to leave 60 was all I could manage before he had his chance! One dart I think at D16 (hit a single 8) meant it was now or never for me! But not before Fluffy had a few words with someone standing next to the oche helping him count and ready to be in my eyeline!!! Fluff had him moved away and so we continue, S20, wire of D20 and wire D10 meant "NEVER"! Absolutely dejected I could only wish for him to miss! I think D12 was his least favourite double as he failed to get closer than his first dart thrown. Here we go. . . . BOOM! 2nd dart in D10! And a bloody big sigh of reliEf I can tell you!
5 - 7
Well done you little beauties!

Did you hear about the new blonde paint?It's not real bright, but its cheap, and spreads easy
Why did the blonde like the car with a sunroof?More leg-room!
What's the difference between a blonde and an ironing board?Its difficult to open the legs on an ironing board
See you all soon guys!
