Another top of the table clash as a marquis side with a 100% record visited a packed Pot Black club, They left with their 100% record gone!!!!!!! We fielded a weakened side as Linx saw it was a big game and pretended he was away with the missus (you really should not let the fact you jellied it effect your confidence you know). That left a singles space open for me to fill and that seemed to inspire the troops as I was drawn out last and they realized they needed to get 7 early as I cant beat an egg at the minute!!!!!!!!! (Well for the last 2 years actually!).
DOUBLES
Some solid performances early on as we compiled a 3-0 lead and put the nerves to rest for a while!
Dirty and Serious up first. Serious popping in a 107 finish got us off to a flyer. Smasher and Penfold followed that with Smasher producing some of his better darts for a few games in what was to be the first of two decent performances.
Skip partnered The Power Bardwell as we moved ourselves into a nice little lead, Skip on the high scores sheet again with a 140.
In a convincing 3-0 lead and looking to put the game to bed Myself and Snatural stepped up!!!!! The game opened up and there were erratic darts coming from both teams (myself excluded I scored bog all but at least I was in the right area of the board) as the 18 and 12 beds were peppered before Winyard popped up with 2 140's mid game to put them in a position we could not recover from, another loss for me!!!! Brrriiiiilllliiiiaaaannntttt!!!!!!!! I'm not saying I was any good but I have to comment on The Snatural who was particularly horrific in what was to be the first of 2 terrible performances!!!!!!!! Sorry I commented on your improving form last week it has obviously jinxed you!!!!!!!
SINGLES
Into the singles still 3-1 so not the end of the world!
OH that soon turned into 3-3 as Penfold on in the first single's then The snatural followed up his doubles disaster with another performance of the lowest quality!
So its getting tight!! up step Serious and believe it or not, he was pretty serious and played a good game hitting another maximum and a 140 to take us into a 4-3 lead!
Still tight but the Power Bardwell is on next and he plays the norm notching up a 121 and taking us into a 5-3 lead. A good position but its as good as 5-4 with me still to play!
Next up Skip against Alan Baker. Al played a steady game but unfortunately for Skip a 140 was not enough and he could not recover from a slow start.
5-4!!!! Now there's pressure as we need to win the next 2 games, either that or I need to win! Lets be real!! they both need to win!
With the game getting tight Dirty stepped up!!!!!!!! After a shaky start he threw some exceptional darts towards the end checking out 257 with his last 6 darts to get the 6th game of the night!!!!! another beauty of a performance when we needed it!!!! well played mate.
6-5 up and with me on last Daddy Smash (yep the one who lies to people about going out and leaving them stranded on the curb!) knew he had to win to get the 7-5 victory!!!!! I have to say he put in one of his best performances of the season to get the win for the team, getting a 112st and a 125 in the process, great stuff!!!!!
On last was me, the game already won and with several hours mid week practice under my belt I thought I may play ok??!!!........... nope not a chance, I played a load of rubbish, Micky Woll was trying to chuck the game and I compiled a big lead, Don't know how many ahead I was but It was large enough to get about 18 darts at a double before he came down and checked out!!! bbrrrriiiilllliiiaaaannnttt!!!!!!!!! seriously guys I'm even practicing during the week to try stop being so dump but I just cant seem to win!!!!! I suppose it wasn't a bad loss as it would not have counted anyway as the game was won!
The game finished, a few games of table bowls and liar dice went on and then off we popped to OB, Fluff came out so Dirty went home!!!!
Join us next week to find out if Linx jellies, it....... if Smasher lies....... who will go out Fluff or Dirty? if Gotts is spotted!! If I can win a game! I know you cant wait.
JOKE CORNER
An elderly couple was sitting around one evening and the man says to his wife,
"Marsha, we are about to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. We've had a wonderful life together, full of contentment and blessings. But there's something I've always wondered about. Tell me the truth. Have you ever been unfaithful to me?"She hesitated a moment, then said, "Yes, Sidney, three times."
"Three times? How could that happen?" Sidney asks
Marsha replied, "Well, do you remember right after we were married and we were so broke that the bank was about to foreclose on our little house?""Yes, dear, those were really difficult times," replied Sidney."And remember when I went to see the banker one night, and the next day the bank extended our loan?""Gosh, that's really hard to take," said Sidney. "But since things were so bad at the time, I guess I can forgive you. What was the second time?""Well," Marsha continued, "do you remember years later when you almost died of that heart problem because we couldn't afford an operation?""Yes, of course," said Sidney. "Then you will remember that right after I went to see the doctor, he performed the operation at no cost?""Yes, I remember," said Sidney, "and as much as that shocks me, I do understand that you did what you did out of love for me, so I forgive you. So, what was the third time?"Marsha lowered her head and said, "Do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club and you needed 62 more votes?"
GOTTS WATCH
A bloke of around 4ft 10 inches high with Jedward type hair was seen checking himself out in a shop window in Great Yarmouth town centre around 1430 on Tuesday!!! Its been said they are pretty sure he was tensing and that his impressive upper body was somewhat overshadowed by the chicken legs!!!!!
A black BMW with a baby on board sticker was seen parked in Leona Crescent on Monday , Wednesday , Thursday , Friday, Saturday and Sunday!!!!! Not sure where it is?, its near Hall road.... you know near Meadow way.... oh come on its near Famona Road...... yeah that's it! just round the corner from Shelley Crossleys florist shop!
