Welcome back to the blog you lucky people, how you must have missed it, yes both of you! Hopefully this will be a great winter season and have you reaching for the champagne, not the phone number of a certain Swiss clinic.
The Penge boys started the season in fine fettle with a 10 – 3 home win against the Rising Sun. Streaking ahead of the field like Theo Walcott, when the mood takes him. A tough place to go for the Lewisham lads and even tougher to get home from….. So it’s nosebleeds all round at the Royston once again.
As mismatches go this was up there with rugger bugger Boris Johnson wiping out a 10 year old Japanese lad in a game of street rugby intended to promote harmony between our nations. Fortunately, the innocent victim was not injured and that gave BJ an opportunity to try to make political capital out of it. He said that the lad ‘bouncing back and taking it so well was a metaphor for life’. I would think that a better lesson would be ‘beware the lumbering Tory bully with no concern for anyone more vunerable than himself’.
The Brick A came from behind in fine style, as they like to do, against the HGRC, winning by one leg. A good performance by the Hither Green crew as this is a difficult venue at the best of times. If you can stomach the food and the locals you are doing well, quite apart from the darts and Harry’s band of heroes.
The good brethren from the Fellowship made their first division bow with an away win at the Maple Tree, Penge’s finest venue. It was 7 – 6 to the pilgrims as they performed with credit, unlike the Northern Hemisphere at the Rugby World Cup, who treated the oval ball like a particularly ugly stranger covered in soap. A notable exception were Scotland, who were apparently cheated, unlucky, harshly treated and heroic. This left them devastated, gutted and completely destroyed ……. it was wonderful. Sadly Andy ‘cry baby’ Murray was unavailable for comment. So it is hats off to Craig Joubert, the South African ref with the impressive turn of speed and dodgy eyesight.
The champions, the Railway Telegraph, performed much like premier league champions Chelsea, with a storming start to the season. With a bye, no points, but at least a clean sheet.
Back in the second division, the Nap A cruised to a comfortable 11 – 2 win against the Fox’s. A commendable strong start for the Nap, which will surprise nobody. No such luck for Jurgen ‘Klippety’ Klopp, who in common with his predecessor has a fine pair of ‘railings’. He managed a nil – nil at Spurs that was less dazzling than the gleam from his gnashers.
In the second division, there was one close game as the Brockley B beat the Prince. In a game that was slightly longer than a Mourinho rant, the home side emerged victorious by the odd leg. A good start for both sides and they can look forward with optimism this term, unlike the Labour party, with new leader Jeremy Corby Trouser Unpressed.
Meanwhile the A side from SE4 won 11-2 at the Catford CC. A great start for the Brockley Unsocial boys and girls. Hopefully the game was more entertaining than the cricket in Abu Dhabi for the first four turgid days of the Pakistan v England test, where the runs came as easily as in a dysentery ward in Bangalore and wickets were rarer than virgins in this league of ours.
The Catford Cyphers (venue for Saturday’s presentation) also amassed 11 legs, a bit like a Heather Mills gang bang, against the Nap B. A good result for the Cyphers away from home, although you wouldn’t want to put a tube driver’s wage on the Napier second string in any event. Hopefully they have a good season and make me eat my unjustified words….
Enjoy the season, if not your playing partner.
See you at the Pres, if I don’t see you first!
GREAT DARTS!!
