Hello Potty B fans.
A couple of weeks to catch up on starting with a home game against the Football Club. Ladbrokes were not offering very good odds on the draw as we have managed to hit 6-6 on the last three occasions so we knew it was going to be another close game.
That said we managed to start out trying to let them thrash us with shoot em up and yid (tame) then magoo and the legend (also tame) and then quiff and clint (bloody awful) all losing to leave us 3-0 down. Fortunately we had the in-form Bros on next and Shawn and Darren got the first leg on the board for us. This started a good revival for us with moysie winning the first singles. Hos (who had previously that evening been trying a new tactic of moving around like a marionette from an old episode of Thunderbirds, ably assisted by Bungle and Stavros) also played well to draw us level. Stridey then took us ahead for the first time before Oz lost and I won (God knows how) to keep us in the lead at 5-4. A loss for Clint set us up for what was looking like yet another draw and a tense finish. Step up the legend for a good game and a great attempt at a 145 finish. Trev missed the 145 by a gnat’s dick and missed 30 by 2 feet but held on to guarantee us the draw. Last on was Thunderbird 2 in the shape of Darren who played a superb last game to get us a great 7-5 win from 3-0 down.
Looking to keep it going, this week we travelled to bottom club ex servs d. we certainly didn’t have this one all our own way losing the first 2 doubles, moysie and oz to very good opponents and Bros who took half an hour to start, caught up, then couldn’t finish. Shawn was unlucky clipping the wires with every dart and was starting to get visibly frustrated until Billy pointed out that the nearest curtain was over 6 yards away and really shouldn’t have been causing a problem! Clint and yid got our first leg with Steve hitting our only two high scores of the night and further strengthening his claim for a place in the singles, although with the way some of us have been playing it doesn’t need much strengthening! A tight last doubles with me playing ok partnered by shoot em up and the score was level at 2-2.
Legend up first in the singles (tonight Matthew I’m going to be Dave Stride) as Trev won his game and performed the famous Stridey fluent one-legged spin into a hand shake. 3-2 to us. If Clint had started on time for the next game he’d have won but he left himself with too much to do. A good game from Hos was followed by an equally good game from ozzie, until the end with around a 100 darts at a double but just couldn’t finish. Stavros then took full advantage of his opponents slow start followed by Moysie with an exact replica to secure us the draw. Two games to go to get both points and Stridey played well before proving there is only one shoot em up, original and best, as he showed Goochy his real class with a perfectly landed triple salko into a handshake. That’s the way to do it. With the points secured I went on last and should have got thrashed but was let off at the end to leave the final score 8-4 to us.
Back to back wins to strengthen our position trying for a top half finish.
We are at home next week to the old frank who thrashed us 11-1 away so we are looking for a drastic improvement.
Regular readers will have noticed a lack of mentions for Bungle over recent weeks. He is threatening to come back soon after taking a Jarvisesque sabbatical following a bad game. Mind you, in his absence, Yid has been throwing his darts and playing really well with them. Watch this space.
See you soon
Bye all
Quiff
