Away to Lake Lothing this week, Liquid's new team! Renowned for the draw specialists this year, which was not suprising after seeing Peter 'Snakebite' Wright paired with Liquids in the doubles!
They were the first pair on and won in fine style with 3 high scores and a mile ahead of our boys on first!
Next three went our way to lead in the doubles 3 - 1. We all looked impressed with PH in practice but when his first dart in the doubles hits a small 18 you just have to laugh!
Singles next and we knew the draw could be unkind to me going for most wins with Peter playing, so I payed special attention when they were drawn out! Peter was drawn out 5th so anywhere but 5th would be fine! Maybe Liquids if I was really lucky, lol!
1st - No
2nd - No
2nd - No
3rd - No
4th - No
5th - F###! Well that's just great!
After finally getting through the first 4 matches which was mainly down to F F F F Fluffy's slow play we had the big one!
At least I had the start!!! Didn't get away, and I was hit with a 120 from Peter! Got away next throw and followed up with 100, 100 which made the leg a little more respectable! Peter pulled further away with 121 before hitting a big 9 (cockey) to leave 170 with me in the mid 200's! No 170 finish gave me a chance to hit 97 to leave 76! Peter had one dart for an 18 dart leg, so all I needed to do was throw two straight ones and take out the double!!! Just a dart barrell width away from tops gave Peter 3 at his favourite double top!
Unbelievably his first dart missed by an inch! His second was snatched very quickly and went higher stil! (please miss, please miss) Peter made a joke as he moved across the oche. His concentration was immense and it seemed ages for the dart to hit the board! He misses!!!!
The team erupted with noise willing me to hit the double! It was hard to explain the feeling of hope, anticipation and not wanting to let your team down, roaring like a pack of lions behind me! Toe to the oche, dart in the hand, a deep long hard look at double 10 and let go. . . . . .
BINGO!!!! Or as PH and Bungle would say OMG!
That's enough pages of blowing my own trumpet! Bad luck to Bardy for losing to liquids and ED for getting caught having his hair cut a L A CHICK!
Final score 3 - 9
Guess who?
Now this picture is quite a gem! If you thought this guy was funny to look at before the make over, well this next picture is a SCREAM! Every time I looked at him on Saturday I couldn't help but chuckle! One clue I'll give you is never get in a car with him if he's driving! Just ask my wife, his brother or his brother's wife!!!

I feel I have to mention something which I was sure would have at least popped up in Other News, but unfortunately with Linx's rather blinkered view of the match, it did not.
