Dagnabbit we lost last night!!
A good match - quite even, though not quite even enough.
Mr , Joe, Colin, John, Guru P (in full ACC colours with a 30 mile ride home after), Rob RE and moi took on the might of the Bec. They know how to TT and they know how to throw too. Team ACC were a player down so I played solo (basically the opposition gets two throws for my one).
The Belle Vue Cup is a pairs game. Two rounds of pairs from 301 with a deciding round of everyone in from 1001. Got that?
ACC highlights. Plenty of throws up around the high 60s and 70s, and John got a 94 and Rob RE nailed a 100. Colin and Mr combined for a fantastic finish - I'll leave it to them to tell you more.
All even after round 1, I lost the last game of the round - close but no cigar. I had enough chances to put away a double 8 just couldn't deliver the killer blow.
Round two - all even after the first two pairs. I lost my match again, boo hoo. Another OK game by me but just as my double 12 finish hoved into view the Bec nailed a double 1 and it was goodnight Vienna.
The Bec then took the deciding game so there was no need for the round of 1001.
A good fun night out, good banter, good darts, a beer and a few sarnies to boot.
Next week it's a league home game against the Bec - oh I hope revenge is sweeeeet.
