A-TEAM REPORT

Welcome back to another edition of . . . . . .

What the f### do I write in the blog this week???

Away this week which is normally a bummer, but when you're playing the the Pot Black B side and you don't need to do a thing all night other than chuck a few arrows! HAPPY DAYS!

No Skip this week, Ash had called off so it was another turn out for Gottsfreecabs! With me picking the pairs anything could happen! Thankfully the doubles went as I had hope with a 3 - 1 advantage to the A side. Onto the singles and it was a different story! Winning only one of the first four games made the scores level at 4 - 4. Some indifferent performances from our lads with PH not being able to locate a double to finish and Nicky Lark not finding one to start!!!!

Larky, in need of some further attention to his overgrown barnet, but too scared to be caught at a womens salon he braved it against Quiff in the singles! After 3 throws Quiff was sitting on 129 and Larky hadn't started! I was bursting for the loo so missed the next few darts!!!! Question: What starts with 'White' and ends in 'Wash', Answer: Larky!

Larky is now the most nicknamed player with his latest being 'BASIL'


Back to the match and 4 - 4 could go either way now! Stevie Norfield was on last so we thought that might be ours but the rest were tricky! First up was our best player this year, 'Smasher' and 20 darts later we took back the lead. Next was me and again 20 darts later we'd secured the draw! Fluffy next and 18 darts later the win was secured and finally Bardy in 21 darts made the final score 8 - 4!

Well done lads. Back to winning ways and may it continue for the next three weeks!!!

Table Bowls

Wally wanted to join in so badly this week after Jedward had challenged me and PH to a game that he got into a big sulk and reluctantly joined in with some liar dice with the B team! (If Wally try's to change the story then he's lying!!!)

To the big match and just pride was placed on the table for this encounter! After 5 ends we all realised that the bowls do not actually work on the backhand, but my partner, PH, continued to roll some horrendous deliveries which in the end had cost us the match! PH version of events was that he was brilliant, the table and bowls didn't react as they should've and Shaun & Deadwood were the luckiest bowlers he'd ever seen! My version of events was I should've listened to Wally and hoped to get him as a partner, PH was horrific, Shaun was a little lucky and Darren was consistent throughout! You make your own minds up!

Play-offs

Saturday evening saw the A team play off for the singles, doubles and trebles! Not sure everyone wanted to play darts (probably just me) but it wasn't a night to remember for most of us!

The trebles were picked out! Done

The doubles draw saw Me & Serious take on Smasher & PH. It was like me & Serious playing Smasher at singles and in the end we managed to fall over the line and get through!!! The other match saw Skip & Larky take on Ash & Fluffy. After a long three leg tussle it was the 100% finishing from Ash that caused the first shock of the Night! Great to see Skip take it in his stride and tap Fluffy on the shoulder after the match "If Ash can't make it to the doubles, I'm your man"!

Singles next and as usual Serious drew Skip in the top half with me and Fluffy in the next! Bottom half pitched PH against Larky and Ash against Smasher!

Semi finals

Serious vs Fluffy (I was awful and didn't try according to the rest of them)
PH vs Smasher

PH played darts for a change and made Smasher work hard for his 2 - 1 victory!

Serious and Fluffy saw an indifferent match. The spectators (Me, Chillo, Skip, Smasher, Ash) were discussing having a tug at work and impressions of professional dart players in a charade style comedy sketch (was absolutely hilarious)! Serious 1 - 0 up and all going to plan until he started to play bad and couldn't block out the background noise (mainly me) and it was soon 1 - 1. In the last leg Serious was even worse and couldn't help chipping into our conversation about 'tossing' at work! Somehow the biggest shock of the night saw Fluffy finally hit a double and make his way into the festival singles! Well done!

I was a little annoyed with Serious' reaction even though I know he's a bad loser! To blame losing the match on me and then saying I've got to play with that 'hunt' in the doubles was a bit harsh! I hope it's just a spur of the moment thing and we'll be on fire come festival doubles night! I can't hold a grudge or get angry like Wally(if you mention Wally getting angry once more Links! I (Wally) will get really, eh! Hmmm, what can I say a-a-a-angry, oh shit! that didn't help much!) so we'll be back kissing on Friday (I hope x)! and I really want those Turkey Crowns buddy!
