Hello again Potty fans
Following last weeks victory a vicious rumour (started by Ozzie) has been circulated (by Ozzie), that we can only win when Ozzie is playing!
An away trip to the Hearts of Oak (without Ozzie again) was, therefore a good opportunity for the guys to prove that this rumour is completely unfounded.
As well as Ozzie, we were also without Hos and Yid and this years part-timers Das Hos and Shillo, meaning that Wally was going to have to step in for two games and he was thrown straight in at the deep end, on first in the doubles. Playing with Clint, they put together a good game and were 300 ahead on their way to securing the win. 1-0. Bungle and myself were next with a good close game that Billy enjoyed so much he forgot he was having trouble letting go of the darts! Nice and smooth and well on his way back! Straight in and straight out – 2-0. Glynn and Trev next, question – who hits double 19? Answer – Glynn does. 3-0. a good battle from Moysie and Shoot em up and a rare 4-0 up after the doubles. Three good solid games from me, Billy and Moysie and were 7-0 up with the points secured.
Wally was next on and unlucky to come up against their best player in the form of steve bidle (although he did try to avoid this by stepping up to the oche for the game before in the hope that no-one would notice) and we lost our first leg of the night.
A good 66 finish from Goochy and a solid game from Glynn and we were 9-1 ahead. With Wally becoming concerned that he might soon hear a loud out of tune rendition of a certain one hit wonder hit from the eighties, Shoot em up went on and spared him this fate by not being able to finish. 9-2 and no Chesney! Clint (who is fast turning into the midnight cowboy based on the time of the day he plays his best darts) was on last (again, fortunately) and although he struggled to finish, managed to hold on for a convincing 10-2 win.
So the rumour mill can stop, we can win without Ozzie. This week we’ll find out if we can win without me as well as I am missing on family duties so good luck to the boys at home to the Kevill.
I’ll see you all soon
All the best
Atko
