So, because of a week’s delay, due to over-indulgence at the weekend and a hectic work schedule, I get the chance this week to double up. For most of us sadly, that is just a fantasy and not a reality, but don’t despair boys and girls there is always presentation night on June 20th!
Week 5
There was a titanic clash at the Railway Telegraph, where the home side beat the Brick by 8 – 5. It was a night that largely belonged to the ‘Wizard of Wozz’, as he hit 4 doubles and two maximums, in a great display of dartsmanship. Also a night notable for the ‘Wizard that Was’, Charlie Nicholas, as he returned from illness and inspired his team to a good win against worthy opponents.
Well done to The Maple Tree boys as they achieved their first win of the season, when they travelled to Bovill Road and won by 3 legs. This leaves the Nap A still hanging around, like a visitor to Alton Towers, for their first win this season.
The HGRC hosted the ‘Royston Mob’ and the Penge noisy crew hit double figures after their exhausting, mammoth trip across town. It may sound a one-sided affair, however I bet it was more entertaining than Ireland 0 England 0, but at least insomniacs across the land snored their loud approval.
In Div 2, there was another win for the unstoppable Fellowship brethren,’let us pray’ that someone gives them a game soon. They beat the Brock Soc A 9 – 4 to continue what seems to be their impressive march to the title in true Christian soldier style. The Brockley side were 3 nil up, but maybe on a wave of euphoria, let things slide. A little like lovely Kate Moss, who was escorted off a plane at Luton Airport after strolling up and down the aisle swigging her own bottle of vodka and calling the pilot a “basic bitch”, apparently without a hint of irony. It was interestingly an Easyjet flight, yes EASYJET! Sounds like this latest boyf is a keeper Kate. The iconic model is from Croydon, in case you were not aware, as they say you can take the girl out of Croydon, but you can’t take half of Croydon out of the girl. Croydon is quite near Penge.
There was a suitably close game between the Div 2 challengers and the Cat Cyphers won through by 7 legs to 6 against the Fox’s. It was a good result for the consistent Cyphers and a disappointing week for the Fox’s boys. Not as bad a performance as the speech by 72 year old Nobel laureate, Sir Tim Hunt, an eminent scientist, not a rhyming slang, with his withering comments about women scientists leading to his resignation and no doubt tears before bedtime.
The Brock Soc B got their second win on the spin, and deserve praise for that, 9 - 4 against the Nap B who are still winless and face a trip to the Prince next week. As bottom battles go, this is worthy of a Kardashian family reunion.
Keep your chins up and your darts sharp this week.
GREAT DARTS!!

Week 6
Starting at the bottom this week, as regular readers will know is my style, the eagerly awaited clash at the Prince with the stalwarts of the Nap B was a battle royal, but sadly not on the oche. The match was abandoned after a pretty serious sounding assault occurred, unrelated to either team. Details of the fight are sketchy, with even the judges scorecards seemingly mislaid. But suffice it to say that the police were called after an ugly incident. If every incidence of ugliness requires a 999 call, I fancy the plods will be pretty busy in Brockley on the 20th June.
Our prayers from last week were answered as the Fox’s gave the formidable Fellowship a run for their money, unlike my Derby selection, and lost by the odd leg in Bellingham. Two defeats for the Fox’s, but 12 points, in the last fortnight against the top two augurs well for the rest of the season.
In the Brockley derby, the A beat the B by 9 to 4 although to be fair they were at home! The Brock A are building steadily this term and the Brock B have moved away from the bottom with these points. Although this had little to do with purely darts, and more to do with a misdirected bottle and the intervention of the police.
Talking of Old Bill, in the first division, the Bricklayers took full advantage of the Napier’s hospitality and restricted them to a ‘Heather Mills' (one leg) gorging on points with all the greed of Raheem Sterling and his agent in a boardroom. The cokes and cordials flowed liberally, as the Brick celebrated in fine, if healthy/designated driver style and returned to the top of the league standings.
Indeed, it is now tighter at the top than Ron Jeremy’s waistband, as the RT and Penge locked horns this week and in what Chris Clements described memorably as a ‘great game’ (as the Penge broke their duck), the evening was enjoyed by all. It was easier to get hot water, in the frankly Spartan gents, than to secure a win on a night of top quality darts and great sportsmanship. The RT ran out 8 – 5 winners, meaning that the top three have just 2 points between them.
The Maple Tree secured the third away win of the evening in the division with a 9 – 4 win at the HGRC, a surprisingly large defeat for the home side. Somewhat less surprising was the indictment of Jack Warner, a man previously thrown out of FIFA for being too bent, he was let back in of course. But it is amazing really, that anyone is considered too corrupt by FIFA! That is like being described as too fat to play darts, so step forward Rafa Benitez, the new Real Madrid manager...... To be fair the fattest part of Benitez is his mouth!
Play with a smile and don’t forget your darts (like some idiot blog writer I know)
Some of you saddos have expressed an interest in my posting links to some of my previous football blogs. They are a little dated, but as they are about things we all remember they may still amuse,World Cup finals, Gazza and Moaty, Crouch and the Prostitute...
It is fair to say that they are not in the same gentle style as the darts blogs and may offend some people, so if you think that may be you please don't read them.
