Hot competition tonight for the darts doubles final. In the yellow'n'black corner: me and Joe Wand. In the other corner...and I honestly have no idea which club (how bad is that????) were Alan & Clayton. The arrers were being a bit random for everyone tonight and I was v pleased to have the highest lowest score - a quite respectable 8, compared to the 2, 3, and 5 thrown in quick succession by Alan, Clayton and Joe. On the flip side we also saw quite a lot of 3-figure scores (though not from me) with Joe getting a very splendid 125 and at least two 100s. As ever, Joe was hitting the doubles beautifully so we won the first game. Alan and Clayton took advantage of a momentary lapse in form to win in the second. Joe and I took the third (Joe taking the double of course) and then in the 4th game (finals are played best of five) we thought we'd better pull our fingers out a bit. I set Joe up for a storming double 25 finish (how cool would that have been...winning the final with a bullseye??) but he fluffed it and had to come in with some other random double...tsch! I tried my best....just can't get the team-mates...
Next up was the all-Addiscombe singles final....defending Champion John Smith versus Joe Wand, who had recovered quickly from his strenuous doubles match....but perhaps not quite enough. After a brave battle, Joe won the 3rd game to bring score to 2:1 (to John)....but John's experience eased him through and he bagged the fourth game to retain his title. Many congratulations.
Lots of clapping from the yellow'n'black cheerleading team, led by Snoop & Rob R-E. George stopped by later....missing the darts but cunningly arriving in time for the sandwiches and sausage rolls.
Finally, I'd like to offer very Agreeable congratulations to Joe and Beverley who tie the knot this Friday. Hope you have a wonderful day.
