This week saw the top two draw away in Div 1, the Brick and Penge are level on points and so the dreaded alphabetic order rears it’s ugly head again. There is no truth in the rumour that the Penge boys are considering a move to the Anerley Arms as a consequence of being kept so unfairly off the top. The Brick beat the Maple 8 – 5 in a good week for them. Better teamwork by far than Lewis Hamilton experienced at Monaco, where his expensively assembled and experienced Mercedes colleagues managed to secure him third place by unnecessarily dragging him into the pits. The Maple lost their third match of the season, but it is no disgrace to get 5 legs against the table topping Brick.
Another expensively assembled and experienced crew, Penge Trades, picked up 10 points at the Napier as the Nap A slumped to their third defeat and remain at the bottom. A thumping good result for Mark et al, as they move level with the Brick. Not such a good week for Alan H, but at least not as disastrous as some other sporting administrators, as FIFA bigwigs swapped their 5 star luxury hotels for Swiss police cells when the stench of corruption finally permeated the nostrils of the authorities after two decades of pure greed and very obvious criminality.
The Hither Green RC had a fine win at the RT as they took full advantage of their superior double hitting prowess to win 8 – 5. At least they allowed the hosts 5 points. The Eurovision hosts Austria getting the unwelcome ‘Nul Points’ from their ungrateful guest nations, I bet the free bar in Vienna did not last long after that result.
In Div 2, the Cat Cyphers stay top, but the impressive debutants at the Fellowship continue to cast all aside as they completed a 12 – 1 win against the Prince. The rest last week clearly did them good as they now have a couple of dozen points in two games and the Nap B must be quaking in their boots at the prospect of their visit next week. However despite this defeat I am sure that fellow newbies the Prince of Wales will not be chucking the towel in, or in their case, abdicating, any time soon. The same cannot be said of Tony Blair, who is resigning as the UN Middle East Peace Envoy after years of unqualified success. Surely this has now been usurped as the most ridiculous appointment ever, since Katie Hopkins was made the new CEO of Weightwatchers, with the slogan ‘Stop eating tubbies’ as her opening gambit.
Meanwhile the Cat Cyphers beat the Nap B by 10 – 3 in a successful attempt to stay at the top of the tree. Looking like a good outfit this season, they are going from strength to strength, like a darting equivalent of Jose Mourinho, but perhaps a tad less arrogant... The Nap B are moving away from the bottom, but suffered a third loss and will be keen to improve next week against the in-form brethren of the Fellowship.
In the closest game of the week the Fox’s lost to the Brockley A by the odd leg at home. Both sides have started well and it looks like being a good fight with some good teams in the second flight this summer. Certainly it will be a better contest than the Labour party leadership contest, which has had more bail outs than a Mediterranean lifeboat, and is like a strange game of pass-the-parcel where the prize smells worse as each layer is removed.
Enjoy your league, it is yours so make it a good one.
GREAT DARTS !!
