Hi Potty Fans
The season is drawing to a close and with premiership survival assured for another year we are trying to see how far up the table we can finish with seventh our best goal.
An away game last week to the Queens Head, never easy on that throw but we made life extremely difficult by losing all four doubles. We were not able to recover from that and despite winning our share of the singles went down 8-4. a poor performance on the night and not much more to say really.
This week we entertained the struggling Stanford Oak hoping we could get some more points. Missing Yiddo with man-flu, bungle got some practice in before the game and was looking really comfortable so a recall for bill in the doubles and wally in the singles, simples!
We got off to a good start with Clint and Goochy (who had made the best recovery from illness since Lazarus) somehow managing to nick the game despite their opponents hitting three 140’s. various cries of robbery and buggery (not sure what game Shaun was watching) but at least we were one nil up. Hos and Moysie played a solid game for 2-0 before the much awaited return of Billy in the Billy and Johnny show. Unfortunately Bill’s good practice disappeared with the return of the dreaded yips and we were back to 2-1. I’m not saying this is getting to him but apparently he has now enrolled for a six-week course of therapy at the Gary Flatt Clinic for Disgruntled Dartists known as Darts Under Fluffy Flatt’s Expert Rehabilitation Scheme (DUFFERS).
Anyway, a reasonable game from me and Shoot em up got us 3-1 ahead after the doubles.
Whats the best thing to do when 3-1 up and going well? I know, lets lose three out of the next four and make a really exciting game of it!
Clint first, far too early in the evening, he hadn’t even warmed up yet. A very good game from Stridey to keep us two ahead before Ozzie (finished like the West Ham front line) and Wally (started like a granny in a Grand Prix) both lost to leave us level at 4-4.
A comfortable win for Goochy before Hos went on feeling confident after realising that their best player, A Curtain, was away on holiday this week, and secured us the draw. Good games from Darren followed by me (on last again!) and the final result was 8-4 to us.
Two games to go, both away to Marquis and Hearts and still on target for a top half finish.
See you soon
