awesome..................

I have to admit to playing well- it would be wrong of me to do otherwise.

A 4-2 victory against a strong C & H team was a great result for our A team, and of course a 1-5 defeat from the B team was also pretty good for them too- so everyone was happy- especially Dave Lat who almost pulled for the first time in living memory (that's his memory- not mine of course ). Wally was hiding on the sofa with Monty so it was left to Geoff, Tim & Dave to win the darts, whilst Ken contributed nowt as usual.

Apparently "bus crash " Ian was the only success, for "B for Bollocks", in the Dolly- apart from Dave's "nearly but not quite" experience- which will probably have to do him now for the rest of the year.

Double Whammy !

Victories for A & B on the same night....definitely one for the album. In the absence of Capt Kent, the most senior member of the team led Bear B over to Goring for a momentous 4-2 away win. Only Roger & Ian were pointless, which is something I have always suspected. So Dave Lattimer has a 100% record as leader- perhaps he should have a word with Steve Mclaren on how to motivate your team ? Meanwhile, back at HQ it was 2-2 after the singles with Dave & Geoff earning their spurs, and given our appalling pairs record, you would have expected a 4-2 defeat for sure. However, with Wally taking a break to count his trophies, Ken & Dave won grittily, and a classy performance from Geoff & Tim sealed the victory.
A jubilant B team were put in their place, on return, with a crushing defeat in an "A" v"B" beer leg.
Come on England..................................

Come on England.........

Here's another of my rude & unnecessary posts, littered with examples of bad sportsmanship.

After last weeks momentus victory by the B team, we thought it was the dawn of a new era, but this week the bad times returned with a loss to Black Lion B. Never mind chaps - it's only a game ! Can't remember who won , but I think it was Steve & Ian-please correct this if I'm wrong !

Meanwhile the A team travelled to Woodcote, and were pleasantly surprised to find the Black Lion is a Freehouse- so no Greene King- hoorah ! Ken & Monty were unavailable, and the rumour that they were seeing each other is only a rumour, so I don't want to mention it. Geoff's return buoyed the team until he started playing- fortunately he found enough form to beat one of their girls. Wally won well, Dave played superbly to win 3-0 (not often you hear that said ), and Tim completed the 4-0 whitewash in the singles, to ensure a shot at the holy grail of 6-0 and the promised land of darts shirts. Thankfully Dave & Wally cocked up, so it didn't matter that GG & I also missed the target. I must also report to the league that Geoff Goddard was wearing a French Rugby Shirt, which is surely an act of treason ?

B good- A bad

The CAT arrived in matching shirts (apart from Ryan)- always a bad sign if you ask me- and this was confirmed with 3 defeats from 4 singles- only Wally came up trumps with an emphatic win over shirtless Ryan. Mark, their best player, and new League Sec defeated Tim and then pointed out that our scoreboard is not up to spec- you can really go off people quite quickly ! Wally & Tim combined to win their pairs, but Ken & Monty were not at the races, and a 4-2 defeat was the end result. GG was seen at the pub, but didn't have the correct pass from his wife, so was unable to join in the fun.

The B team craftily left Dave, Stan & Roger behind, enabling them to field a strong team at The Portcullis- darts virgin Steve played well on debut, as did Motor Mouth, Charlie & Capt Kent, leaving Tony to be the token arse for the evening. Well done chaps- I take back everything I said about you!

Great Escape

Yes Steve McQueen would have been proud of us ! Victory on Thursday against Goring, combined with The Queens nosediving 5-1 against the Dolly means we stay in Div 2. This is a good effort considering how bereft of good players we have been this Summer- Ken's been living in his tractor, Geoff's stuck to a saddle & Tim's been playing Cricket- so well done to Tony( who only lost once) & Wally for flying the flag, and to Monty & Dave for turning up ! I know CAT Mark thinks we're only "singing when we're winning", but I can assure him this is not the case- we have just been too busy here. Hopefully the posts will be more regular in Winter.

Finally I have some really sad news to pass on to you all, and it really breaks my heart to say unfortunately it doesn't look like we will be able to play at The Sprat this Winter 'cos I think they are still in Div 3

Bewitched !

The away game at The Witch went t@ts up as we lost 2-4 with only Tony & Wally showing any fighting spirit. Ken was destroyed by The Asda man, who annoyingly tapped his back pocket every time he got a treble 20. Tim lost to their best player as usual, Monty was crap, and we never win the pairs, so that was that. Chin up !

QA pinch it on the doubles

2-2 after the singles with victories for Wally & Tim, but a familiar tale in the doubles and a 2-4 loss resulted. Where are our players ? Apparently Ken is Tom Dick, Piglet has buggered off to Hong Kong, and Geoff is too busy for his mates at The Bear. I personally think the Summer League is too much, and we should have a break and stick to the Winter League- but that's just me being controversial. Please feel free to air your views.
