Summer league with your average dart team

[Dicie]

Signed this yr for the wicklow/wexford 5 a side league, lot of travelling involved in this, as teams spread a far apart as 85 miles (170 mile round trip) which is tough going on a weds night.

Only the 8 teams this yr, but entry fee is €500 per team, and a signing fee of €30 per player. I think this is what has kept alot of teams away. Weve got 9 players signed, you will get to hear about them all i hope thru out the season, we havent bothered signing big name players that can only make the final, thou we do have 7 county players on the panel, but then so do alot of the teams.

name of the team - The Britneys (Publican wud not stump up the entry fee, so we were not calling ourselves after his bar, thou we do have to play our home games somewhere, so are kinda fucked for a venue as yet) (weve approached 2 bars, we aint looking for anything but for the publican to put the 2 teams on a chicken in a basket type meal, or some such thing for the season) (7 home games)

Weve only 2 rules for the year, if you aint got you €10 a week subs paid, you aint playing, and if you lose a match with a 23 PD ave or less your dropped for the next game. I think this is fair enough, all the players were told this before they signed, and to be fair we are all working (even im back doing a bit lol)

Averages are kept for all games for the season, and the top 16 in the league then play off for the €30 per player reg fee, plus sponsorship off the hotel (€500) (winner is grntd €1,000) for hosting the final, there is also a doubles, each team has to enter at least 2 doubles into the comp at a cost of €40 per team (winners grntd €500), all money in is paid out for the doubles, plus €300 extra sponsorship from the hotel.

Team event
Winners €3000
R Up €1500

All these are paid out on the finals night last week in sept.

Should be a good season, and i hope to do weekly updates.
