The Darts Forum

Played in the second round of a local competition worth 250euro to the winner tonight, had got past the first round robin series dropping 3 legs out of 15. My opponent was a former Kerry county player, DJ. First to 5 legs to win. Lost the bull so DJ had the throw. No great scores hit, but I missed double 12 for a 98 finish for the first leg. Second leg DJ finished with me on Tops. 2-0 down. Third leg the scoring picked up, but again I missed a double (tops) only to see my opponent take a 3-0 lead. Took the next 4 legs to go 4-3 up, hitting a few 140's and tons, and finishing with at least the second dart at a double. (Thanks to Bobs 27)
In the 8th leg missed 3 darts at double 10 to let DJ in to win the leg.
Won the bull to throw first i the deciding leg. Two bad scores (45 & 55) let me down. By the time I picked it up it was too late and DJ finished x18 with me on 86.
Disappointed to lose, but happy enough with my darts even though I know I can throw better.

Unkucky lad, good darts, tough draw, get em next time....

May i ask what the carvery was like?? Local take-aways.

I know DJ, he used to play doubles with sean marshall, a handy player.

Fuckers brought out the food in the middle of my game Dicie, so not only did I lose but I got feck all to eat while the others stuffed their greedy faces.

I hit a 160 in my room yesterday

That's currently my highest score

Not the best of night's then Micko! Still sounds like you can chuck a decent arrer though mate

Good darts, though was it a 160 checkout? or a 3rd dart for the treble that ricocheted off the ceiling light into the double 20?

Not ripping the piss DJ but I'm crap as well mate. Only one 180 in the last twelve months and that was in practice

You going to be a non-playing captain at the forum clash MH?

It's for you lads going to decide Gaz, but I hope to throw a few as well!

Only kidding mate. I've seen Snakey play and if hes in the team any bugger that can hold a dart the right way will get picked.

Was I talking about throwing darts Gaz?

Ahh, we still thinking about that tennis coach mate.

Absolutely pal, pity her husband found out

Ouch.

That always seems to happen to me.

And I thought I was the only one

First 2 darts hit treble 20 & was going going for a third & hit the double instead. Still looked pretty good though & I left the darts in the board to show the good lady when she came in from work

Still awaiting it Knots

Remember my first well, was in the Adam and Eve pub Hayes and also in practice. I've only hit a few in real games, only one in a league game.
