Hi guys
Sorry its been a bit quiet for a couple of weeks but unfortunately I missed the battling home win against the Kevill Arms and this was followed by a trouncing away at the home guard. Some positives to take from the latter was generally quite good play and the marvellous “that’s the best weve played all season” comment from their captain. Thanks Andy!
Anyway, to bring us up to date, last Friday saw us away at the factory arms. An interesting and fun night and I reckon there was only one team in the entire league that could have played worse than us, and that was the factory!
A slow start saw Oz and Hos win and Shoot em up and the Midnight Cowboy lose. Then the fun really started with Bungle and Me. Absolutely awful! You could have turned the board upside down, back to front or put it in another room and I would still have hit at least two fives out of every three darts. The others weren’t much better and the game headed unerringly towards its only conclusion – a double one marathon. After several goes each, time being called, Wally growing a beard and everyone lamenting the rules that do not permit bringing a female sub on to hit for you I eventually managed to bag it! 2-1 up and it felt like we had been playing for hours! I hope they never bring best of three in or our games will all be weekends away. Gooch and Glyn (starting to feel he needs a nickname) then lost against probably their best pair to leave it all square.
In to the singles and win for Goochy followed by yet more fives from yours truly, poor finishing from my opponent and a quick nick and we were two ahead. Hang on, ive got two wins on the board so whats all the fuss about. I guess its true what they say, form is temporary, class is permanent and crap seems to go on forever! Glyn then lost to a good finish and Dave also went down – back to level at 4-4. Paul survived a slow (understatement) start to win and Bungle then struggled to get down the board until he seemed to be suddenly toughed by God or something and hit 132 followed by a 62 finish to win from nowhere. Hos went on next and got us the win, which was a good job as Ozzie on last bottled it with three scores of 26 once he got under 200.
Still a good win away and more points on the board. If we can win playing like that anything can happen if we start playing well
