It is as you were in the first division this week, as the Powerhouse Penge marched on with an impressive 9 - 4 win at the Hither Green, who did so well at the Brick last week, and stretched their lead at the top to four points. This season the Penge boys seem to have their eye on the prize, unlike the summer finalists from the, ironically named, ‘Blind Pairs’, who failed with the notable exception of Jason to attend the Summer Presentation to collect what looked like a decent prize. Shame on you, it would have been good to applaud all the winners of what appears to be an innovative competition, but sadly Jason was left in splendid isolation.
The Summer Presentation, held at the Catford Cyphers, in case you forgot, suffered from MH370 syndrome, a distinct lack of bodies, which was a shame. I must admit also, that I have seen more dancing in the Matthew Harding stand at Stamford Bridge this season… Talking of defending champions, the RT opened the season with a 5 - 8 home defeat. Admittedly I was not there, but I am sure that Chas took defeat somewhat better than Jose Mourinho, whose antics now have become the story and the football is seemingly secondary. The Maple played well on the night stepping in to polish off the final three legs on the evening.
In the other top flight fixture, the Fellowship hosted the Brick for a tough first home game and captain Moe’s prayers were left unanswered as the worship ended in an 8 – 5 defeat. Keep the faith brothers! Personally I have been on my knees a little lately, but that is a different kettle of fish entirely. The Brick have made a solid start to the season, with Harry’s hairdryer being kept in his locker for the time being.
In the second division the Nap A surged to the top as another 11 legs were secured and they condemned the B to last place in the early standings. Roaring off like Lewis Hamilton into the distance, the Nap A won impressively. Let’s hope that the B had a little good grace in defeat, unlike Nico Rosberg whose party pooping behaviour was akin to Tim Sherwood’s demeanour last weekend as he finally accepted the truth. Yes, he is a Spurs reject.
There was another close call for the Brock B aas they won their second game of the season by the odd leg. Two wins for them, but they lag behind the leaders nevertheless. This is enough to make the most level headed amongst us resort to profanities. Fortunately, Mark Chandler no longer plays at the Brockley club, or the air would definitely be blue in SE4. Current ‘Potty Mouth’ of the league would undoubtedly be Will Howe of the ‘Profane’ Penge. The man who put the ‘cuss’ in customer and the ‘cont’ in self-control, but a lovely fella with it (by Penge standards). This result was a blow for the Cyphers after their 11 point haul last week and leaves them in third place.
The Brock A ‘unsociables’ won 10-3 at home to the Fox’s. No doubt the Reynards were not best pleased as they have amassed just 5 points thus far, but it is early yet and they have played the top two, so things will get easier. The Brock A sit second to the Nap A and must be as popular in Kirkdale Road as George ‘we’re all in it together’ Osborne is in the House of Lords, or paradoxically on the average council estate. He has done well to be universally reviled, but I am sure that will not bother him or his family as they holiday in Gstaad again this Winter. It has to be said that it has not taken the Tories long to put the boot in to the poor hard-working families that voted for them in droves. The food banks must be bracing themselves for tax credit dependents queuing at their doors.
The Catford CC secured their first win of the season, so fair play for that, as the POW lost their second game of the summer by 6 – 7. Unlucky, but they have the solace of 12 points, which is no disgrace at all. Talking of disgrace, brings us nicely to Sepp Blatter, who has the bare faced cheek to openly admit, what we all suspected, that the votes in the 2018 World Cup bidding process were irrelevant as it had been stitched up. Only good thing is thinking what Prince William, ‘call me Villa Dave’ Cameron and David Beckham think about wasting their time, not to mention £2.5M of public money sucking up to these corrupt FIFA officials, in the pursuit of 1 single solitary vote.
Take care of yourselves, but if not at least nurse your pints.
GREAT DARTS!!
