At the top of the table, joint leaders Penge Trades visited fellow joint top side the Brick B, in an evening that will forever be known as ‘Nosebleed Nacht’. The battle was fiercely contested from the off, with new dad and apparent blog fan Will Howe (there’s no accounting for taste) amongst the loudest combatants. On a competitive rollercoaster of an evening, the Brick B were at one point 6 – 5 down and like a French chiropodist staring ‘de feet in de face’. Eventually it fittingly all came down to the last leg where Keith Buckenham played outstandingly to put the visitors in the box seat , but he undeservedly ended on the losing side when George Davis, a product of the home side’s well-established youth policy, hit the winning double of the night after a comeback that only Lazarus could match.
In all seriousness, it was a great night of darts, full-on banter and a shame that either side had to lose. It was a reminder of why we play in this league and how to compete hard, but with a smile on your face. In the end, the Kleenex were put away as the top spot eluded the weary travellers from Penge, but a glance at upcoming fixtures may indicate that they could easily be in Nosebleed territory before you can say “Sherpa, fetch the cotton wool”.
While the top two were engaged in the pursuit of nasal claret, the Brick A took full advantage of their distraction and ran up a fine 10 – 3 win at the Cat Cyphers to close the gap at the top. For the A side it was as emphatic a win as that of 10m diver Tom Daley, but it was, however you look at it, slightly less gay. No budgie smugglers were in evidence in Catford, despite the heat and Harry’s heroes piled up the legs like Tomas Brolin in KFC on a Friday night. There is little respite for the Cyphers as they face the Penge boys next, with their eyes firmly on the top after having beaten the Catford side to nil back in June.
As most of you were no doubt aware, last Thursday (31st July) was National Orgasm Day and with just a cursory look around the players in the league I would hazard a guess that most celebrated it alone. However, I am sure that there were more oohs and aahs than at a firework display, in Bovill Road, as doubles were missed and found and the Brock Soc A beat the Nap B in their first win in 7 long weeks by an 8 – 5 margin. The Nap B moved off the bottom as a result and are ending the season in stronger style than they started.
Meanwhile the Brock Soc B entertained the Nap A and suffered a 4 – 9 reverse which may well have left skipper Brian Field as impressed as Usain Bolt was with the Glasgow weather this week. As ever the doubles told the story and the Nap A have now taken 20 points in their last two matches and have a home game against their B side to come next.
At time of publishing the Maple Tree v Fox’s score is a mystery to me, but sure it was like Nicola Adams, a little belter....
Enjoy life, enjoy darts and love the one you’re with.
GREAT DARTS!!
