For our first game of the new season, we were playing The Globe at home – the same as our last game of last season. And like last season, the opposition didn’t have a full team – though they were only short by one man this time.With the playing order being selected randomly (what a [...]

It seems like ages ago that I last played darts – and yet somehow I still can’t quite believe the new season is upon us. As you know, we became more and more unhappy with our home pub last season – not through anything the hosts were doing, but the increasing numbers of pre-clubbing drunks [...]

As usual, we were playing in the bottom fours cup, which was held at The Heart. Some bright spark had decided that it was to be decided on the night rather than the final being played at a later night – and they chose a HORRIBLE format. All six players of the team to just [...]

On Friday we played our last league game – at home, against The Globe. It was absolutely pouring outside and by the time we got to the pub, my feet were squelching in my flat shoes which I’d had to wear as my winter boots had died. (The heel fell off!) This meant I was [...]

Friday was darts with a difference – no league games, but instead Doubles night. Anyone in the league could play just by turning up on the night and registering and it was something I hadn’t done before but last Friday we’d discussed it and I fancied playing. Billy didn’t, so Paul kindly didn’t object too [...]

On Friday we played the Phoenix team at their newly refurbished pub – which didn’t do a lot for me as it was very dark and sparse, though it probably works well if it’s packed. The team was refurbished too – apparently they have difficulty getting an away team together but have excellent players for [...]

Friday saw us play our rearranged game away at The Grapes – not a great pub, though the team are a nice lot. We were pleasantly surprised to find the pub quiet and calm which was a huge improvement, so we all relaxed and had a good evening. The Grapes were one place below us [...]

On Friday we were at home to the Heart and I think we all hoped it would be a relaxing and enjoyable night after the recent stresses we’ve had. Happily, it was, the pub was fairly calm, and we even managed to win! We won: Roger, Billy & Paul’s trebles; Mine & Roger’s and Billy [...]

My week, one darts night to the next….. hence “Point to Point” Groan! Friday week ago, we had no darts fixture but we decided to all get together anyway for a bit of practise and some fun. There were ten of us in all so we played two teams of five (names selected randomly from [...]

I was looking forward to relaxing with my team mates on Friday night – and even knowing we were likely to be trounced by the team 2nd from top, didn’t spoil the thought. We were playing the Ex-Service B1 at home and though we are not familiar with their players, we’d had an OK time [...]
