Let’s start at the top of division 1, where the Brick racked up an impressive 10 -3 win at the Hither Green Club. A great start for Harry’s heroes (and heroine) and they can look forward with optimism to their next game against the Maple with a 2 point cushion at the top. A disappointing result for the HGRC, but at least they put up a fight, unlike gutless Newcastle. Not sure about you, but watching the Toon go down is what I really want to see this season, but clearly not as much as their players. At least they have the self-confessed “best coach in the Premier League” in John Carver and who can dispute that?
Speaking of great leaders, Mark of the Penge Trades galvanised his troops after an opening week defeat, to achieve a 10-3 win at home to the Maple Tree in the local derby clash. The boys from Maple Road only mustered 3 points and now sit at the bottom of the league with work to be done to get their season back on track. 3 points was more than Stevie G managed in his final appearance at Anfield, as some team called Crystal Palace, (near Penge I believe), managed to take the Europa league hopefuls apart at the weekend.
At the Napier, the A team hosted the RT and slipped, Stevie G style, to a defeat by 9 legs to 4, in a game that was much tighter than the score would suggest. Elsewhere a tragedy unfolded as news that the mighty Dulwich Hamlet had lost their playoff semi filtered through, but that is enough self-pitying, self- indulgence for one week.
Moving on swiftly to Div 2, there was no hint of self-pity as the Fox’s marched to the top with another win at home to the Prince. This early promise bodes well for the future, unlike that of Chuka Umanna, the early favourite for the Labour leadership, who ‘Chuked’ the towel in at the first sign of his Mum getting a bit flustered and news breaking that he used to go to nightclubs. Shocking! As for the Prince, namesake Chuck had an interesting week, as he shook hands with Gerry Adams, in what must have been a chummy affair. They will have to lift their spirits, not to mention their averages, before their game against the Fellowship on Thursday.
Elsewhere, the Brock Soc A made their seasonal bow and handed out a thorough beating to the Nap B. A good result in Brockley as they scored 11 points and came out of the blocks like Nigel Farage at opening time. A poor week for the Nap B and also for the desperate pop princess Kylie Minogue, who confessed to being unlucky.. lucky.. lucky in love and happy to hook up with “any bloke”, even one that was “balding with a paunch” So step forward men of the FHDDL and form an orderly queue, as that covers at least half of our league.
In the final game this week, Brock Soc B lost 9 -4 at the Catford Cyphers and now look up at the table, rather than down as they drop to the basement. Having fallen to their second defeat, they must be hoping for an upturn in fortunes similar to that experienced by Sunderland and have a week to lick their wounds before returning refreshed to the fray.They may have had a bad week, but it was nothing compared to Hull City’s beleaguered manager Steve Bruce, whose luck is so bad even Kylie said no! There again, he does have the look of a huge chubby baby while filling his nappy. The Cyphers, meanwhile, move into second place with this impressive win.
Keep smiling and play each game like it was your last, one day you will be right.
GREAT DARTS!!
