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
