The top two in Div 1 clashed in a battle royal at the Penge fortress also known as the Royston and the home side emerged victorious in a bruising battle by the odd leg. Highlights of the night were the titanic leg between ‘Famous’ Seamus and the returning Steve Corley, and also Ali Hill cleaning up in her singles with a leg of distinction. Fair play to Ali, without doubt everyone’s favourite lady in the Brick team.
The Railway Telegraph, after their home defeat last week, rose from the ashes phoenix-like to beat the Maple Tree by a surprising margin of 10 – 3. The Maple put up a good fight though, unlike Aston Villa who apparently turned up at Wembley, although I saw no evidence of that. David Cameron meanwhile, was disappointed that West Ham had lost their manager Sam Lardyarse, until he remembered that he was lifelong Villa supporter. No surprise that he forgot who he supported, as lying is not just a habit, but a way of life for this Tory reptile. The Maple now face a game at the Nap A, that already has the look of a basement battle, unless either team can switch their fortunes around, as the talent in their teams could easily facilitate. The RT have returned to within two points of the top and face a trip to the Brick in a return to their old stamping ground and no doubt another enjoyable clash with Harry’s heroes.
The HGRC had another impressive win by 9 points against the Nap A who remain at the bottom as a result. The Hither Green crew have made the division a genuine 4-horse race and this score will not have been unnoticed by the ‘big three’ of former seasons. The old order could easily be disturbed and not before time. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for FIFA, where Septic Blather won a fifth term as President of the discredited and disgusting world football authority. It is not so much a case of turkeys voting for Christmas, as turkeys voting for sacks more corn please and Christmas being delayed until some undetermined future date. Now surely UEFA MUST withdraw from FIFA. If only Platini had some Ballon d’Ors!
In Div 2, the Fellowship went joint top after a 10 – 3 win at the Nap B. They have made an impressive start to the season and have the look of a runaway train about them. The Brock Soc A will look to provide some buffers next week though, I am sure. The Nap B stay in peril after this result, looking desperately at the bottom, much as I did when I met Rita Ora at the Oscars.
In SE4, a great game between the Cyphers and the Brock Soc A ended with the away side prevailing by 7 – 6. The Cyphers are top by virtue of the alphabet, and after their curtailed start with a first week bye, the Brockley Unsocial A have started brightly. Let’s hope the same can be said of Arsenal next season, so that ‘Mr Misery’, Arsene Wenger can crack a smile at last, as he is the only person in the world to smile less than the Queen. Please cheer up Mr Wenger and lose the title with good grace next time, perhaps learning that defence is as much a part of the game as attack, even though you find it unpalatable and beneath you.
At the bottom, and few can deny it is a good place to be, especially when Kylie comes knocking, the Brock Soc B won 9 – 4 against the Prince. Well done to the Brockley B for their first win of the season and a good points haul against the Prince. The Prince are still searching for their first success, perhaps they should drop Kylie a text next week to guarantee a result.
Keep your Thursdays fun and your weekends drunken.
GREAT DARTS!!
