B-TEAM (FORTNIGHTLY) WRITE UP

Billy 'Pops up in form'

Greetings Potty B fans.

After months of waiting, eager anticipation and speculation, its finally here. No not the new football season, the new Friday darts league!

The first game was last week and not really worth a mention. Away to Lake Lothing, managed to get away without any incidents lost 9-3. Lots of missed doubles and a good first win for new signing Glynn Whall.

Last night saw the first home game of the season welcoming Marquis A. With two of their players from last year having moved to our A team, we wondered if they might be weaker, but not for long.

Good to see Bungle playing well and for the second week running he and I played doubles, played pretty well but couldn’t do enough to win so 1-0 down. We were followed by losses for Kingy and Yid, Glynn and Hos against very good opponents and Shoot em up and Clint, last weeks only doubles winners, who didn’t really get going. 4-0 down after the pairs and not looking very promising. We were soon 5-0 down after hos lost to an excellent Alan Baker before finally we got a leg on the board thanks to Billy with a really good game including a 140. A loss for Glynn before I went on and managed to get another leg only to be followed by further losses for Yid and Moysie before a fine performance from Paul (put me on late and is there any chance the match could start at ten o clock) Tyler, to beat Mick Wooltorton. A loss on last from Stridey and we had fallen to our second consecutive 9-3 loss.

Overall the atmosphere was disappointingly flat at home and we just didn’t really get going so be prepared for a few procedural changes in the future. Still I suppose we should take heart from the fact that Manchester City have spent £128 million and Mancini reckons it will take them 8 weeks to settle down. On that basis, we have spent £1.28 so any fans who are either time travelers or immortal can expect us to come good in around 153 thousand years.

Hopefully it wont take quite that long and we're looking for an improvement next week away at the Working Mens Club.

All the best

POT BLACK A VS FACTORY ARMS

And here we are again, winter league!!!!!!!!!, don't be deceived by the fact its August we have had our 2 weeks sun and yep it really is winter again! first game of season and and 8-4 win against a reasonable looking factory side.

Ill give it a go at remembering roughly what happened.

First doubles on, Skip and Smasher, obviously a bit of rustiness and both players struggled, 1-0 down, we won the next 2 games as Peeky and Bardy and Nicky Lark and Serious both won.
Last up Me and Linx- after talking up how many games we won last year there could be only one result yep you guessed it- loss briiiillllllliiiiaaannnt!!!! I was crap as usual but unfortunately so was Linx. The summer break has obviously made him forget what team sports means with me involved. You do all the work and I just take the glory. I think this has jolted his memory and he will be back in full flow next week. (and on the chalks!!!)

N.B Weekend Sportsman chalks up the teams first high score of the season!!!!!!!!!!

Into the singles, asking me to remember the order is just ridiculous!!!!!!!

We won 6 of them, losers were Myself and Bardy. Bardy was way ahead but unfortunately the coke kicked in and his opponent registered an unlikely victory. Good debut wins from both Peeky and Springy. Other winners, Serious, Smasher, Linx and Nicky Lark.
A good start boys well played!!!!!!!!!!

The great singles dual has kicked off again but Nicky Lark won so he is excluded until he starts losing!
PH 0- Fluff 0, ha ha ha!!!!!!!!! surely I can win this!!!!!!!!!! (well I think he is playing this week, I could be 1 down)

Things got a bit loud after the game, table bowls were brought out for the opening night, after a very dubious draw, Flatty and Linx were paired together and scraped past Me and Springy, they will say otherwise but don't believe them- God knows how they beat us, as Fluffs eye sight was clearly under the influence of a 3 o clock start and he was adamant that his ball was closer!!!!!!!!!!! no Fluffy no matter how much noise you make its still not!

Off to broadview we toddled- After an altercation with some proper yarco birds outside(ewwwww) in we went, no Dagenham Dave this week so we were quickly bored, He must have been in the Waveney, everyone knows daggers up there and off home we toddled via the legendary Flames.

Other points

1. Apologies from the previous blog, misspelling on Ruben, sorry Skip, I blame mum.
2. I get the card to Dave T's!!!!!!! no way!!!!!!!!!!!
3. 2nd game and we are struggling for a team!!!!!!!! ALREADY!!!!
4. Nicky Lark and Smasher use the same hairdressers!!!!!!!!!

Joke corner

A farmer walks into a bar with a horse. He says, "I will give any of you $1,000 if you can make my horse laugh."A man yells, "I'll take that bet," and leads the horse into the men's room. After a couple seconds, a loud braying laugh is heard from behind the door. The farmer screams to the man, "OK, I'll give you $2,000 if you can make my horse cry."The man shouts, "You're on!"After a few more seconds, the man exits with the horse trudging behind him with tears streaming down his long-snout. Flabbergasted, the farmer asks, "How did you do it?"The man replies, "I said that my d**k was bigger than his and he laughed. Then I showed it to him."

Amazing Fact

The average person in the West eats 50 tonnes of food and drinks 50,000 litres (11,000 gallons) of liquid during his life. (Serious I think you are clearly above average on this occasion!!!!!!!!)

Note to Self
