Hello Potty B fans.
We’ve had a good couple of results recently with back to back wins but we will all admit we haven’t played well. To be honest we all seem to have been a bit flat for weeks now but have managed to scrape results.
So even though we’ve been getting the points we were slightly apprehensive on Friday for the visit of the Ole Frank who thrashed us 11-1 at their place earlier in the season.
Our fears seemed justified as we quickly went 3-0 down with Yid and Hos losing the first doubles, followed by Stridey and me although we had a few darts to win it and then Goochy and Oz up against an in-form Bully who weighed in with 180. Moysie and Darren then managed to take advantage of poor finishing to get us one on the board.
This was now the same position we had in the away game when we managed to lose all 8 singles. Hoping to avoid a repeat, we soon settled thanks to a good game from Clint to take out Sean Wilson. If the legend could have started sooner in the next game we would have drawn level but unfortunately he left himself too much to do despite fighting back to give himself a chance. With the score at 4-2 down, we needed to find some singles form if we were to get a result. Stridey was on next against Eddie and played really well, even feeling confident enough to go for an exhibition double top double ten finish before the familiar Michael Jackson spin into the handshake. Next up was Yiddo who had forced himself into two games after some really good performances over the last few weeks. How would he get on? Would the pressure get to him? No need to worry as Steve played as if all his Bahmitvah’s had come at once. Straight in, straight out, a 140 and no scores below 60. Not bad eh! This was probably the best game Bungle’s darts had played for weeks as Steve has been throwing them really well. Obviously this started a discussion as to whether Billy should sell his darts to Steve, particularly as he has some new ones but Billy was adamant he wouldn’t sell. Obviously everyone has their price though and I think they eventually struck a deal for half of Premier and a bag of crisps!
Back to the game and, inspired by Yid’s performance, Hos went on and played superb to beat Gary Bull who hot two 140’s. We had now got ourselves ahead and when Darren beat John Dyke we had secured the draw with two games to go. I was on next and a steady 19 darter got us to seven and a great win. Unfortunately Moysie on last couldn’t beat Bully to leave the score at 7-5 but we were chuffed with that.
It was good to see some of our players playing so well and we all felt that this had pulled us out of the flat feelings we have suffered recently.
We have now safely secured a mid-table finish and hope we can keep our form going over the next few weeks starting next week away to the Queens Head
See you soon
Bye all
Quiff
