You lucky people have been spared the rubbish I churn out for a couple of weeks, but here is the beginning of the clearing of the backlog, now that work and personal commitments have eased a little. Apologies if you have been chomping at the bit.
Week 8
At the top of Div 1, it is as you were as the Brick, Penge Trades and Railway Tel all won. As a result it is tighter still at the top like the proverbial gnat’s nethers or Rita Ora’s latest dress....
Two huge events in Penge this week, and in the first the Maple Tree hosted the table topping Brick and Harry’s heroes ran out winners by the odd leg in a tough encounter. A notable effort though, by Steve Corley as he hit two 180s. This was a creditable result for the Maple and one that keeps them clear of the bottom, unlike Chile’s Gonzalo Jara. In the Copa America quarter final Jara, (an amateur proctologist it appears) provoked Edson Cavani with an unwelcome digit. It was very generous of Jara to offer a prostate examination, but probably would have been wiser to wait until back in the dressing room, rather than in front of a worldwide audience.
Talking of digitally enhanced backsides, JLo offered her ex, Ben Affleck a shoulder to cry on as he split from his wife. Can’t help feeling that Ben has missed a trick here, as Jenny from the block has preferable body parts on which to cry! No such big arses are ever on show at the Penge Trades, where the Napier A were the visitors and secured a decent haul of 6 points at this ever-popular venue. The Penge boy’s nasal capillaries are feeling the strain again as they sit top of the table for a further week.
The RT travelled to Hither Green in search of revenge for their only reverse of the year so far and achieved an 8 – 5 win in ‘the bunker’. Hard not to like this venue though, with Kroney 1664 at only £3 a pint. The HGRC are making a good fist of it this season unlike Gonzalo Jara!
In Division 2, the Cyphers won again, yawn, as they plundered 10 points in Bovill Road and the Nap B continue their search for their first win of the season on the oche. Rather like Katie Price searching for an ounce of dignity in her ridiculous life, but at least the Nap have a chance of finding one.
The Fellowship returned to winning ways at the Prince with the third away win of the week. The Brethren won 8 – 5 and no doubt with that their faith has been restored. Meanwhile the Prince’s prayers remained unanswered with another defeat, but it is never easy playing against a team with the ‘big man upstairs’ on their side, unless it was Sam Lardyarse’s West Ham in the second half of last season.
At the Brockley Unsocial, the Fox’s won by 8 – 5 which keeps the top two on their toes and cements a good season so far. Not a good week for the home side, but not as bad as that of Laura Bassett, the England defender in Canada for the World Cup semi-final. Unlike her namesake Bertie, she proved far from Britain’s greatest asset as she lashed home an impressive own goal with just seconds left against the undeserving Japanese side. Hard luck Laura, but in hindsight it is very funny. Less funny at 2am though, I don’t know about you, but this is not the first time I been up into the early hours expectantly, just for a lady’s single unfortunately placed kick to ruin all hope of a result!
So remember, to paraphrase Johnny Vaughan, never let the darts spoil a good day at the darts...
GREAT DARTS!!!
