It was a surprising week in Div 1 this week. Not that the Nap A losing by 9 – 4 was a big surprise, but you know what I mean. The Brick A were the victors at the Napier by a margin of 5. One more that Germany achieved against lowly Gibraltar in a Loew scoring win that Joachim did not find to his taste, but being German his taste does not amount to very much .................. Sauerkraut, weissbier, raw white sausages and Rupert the Bear trousers….. I rest my case.
The Brick B extended their lead at the top with a win against the Fox’s B team. Alan Aslett’s side had beaten the Brick B twice in the Summer season, so it was a surprise that the score was so decisive in the opposite direction. As ever the doubles told the story and the old boys hit the green and red with startling regularity, to force a result that even Derren Brown, the charlatan’s charlatan, could not have predicted.
Meanwhile at the Maple, the Summer Champs, Penge Trades were beaten by a leg, much like Oscar Pistorius when he turned his back in bed last night, I hear. Still he can hardly complain about someone not checking the bed for occupancy before responding violently. A great result for the Maple in the Penge derby and another surprise in a week of surprises.
The Navy Club had a well-earned rest this week, like the Philae lander on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which was handily parked in the shade. Known as 67P for short, who would have guessed that was the budget spent on the batteries? Dr Matt Taylor, instead of lining up for a Nobel prize was reduced to a blubbing wreck as he apologized for his shirt choice… Get a grip man! Talk about the world missing the point though, this is as far off the mark as the original landing. I admit that at first, I thought this was Matt Taylor of Burnley, but he could have caused offence simply by wearing one of his old West Ham shirts.
In Div2 the Catford Cyphers have broken away from the pelaton like Lance Armstrong with detectable drugs and won the Catford Crunch match 10-3 in impressive style. Forging ahead without a backward glance, like Sepp Blatter in the face of all the evidence of FIFA corruption. Blatter is to truth, what Stephen Hawking is to mountain climbing.
The Fox’s A secured their first win of the season, beating the Brock Soc A 8 – 5, so a good performance there. Not the best of results and not a good week for the Brock Soc A however, but a bit better than Claudio Ranieri’s week, when as manager of Greece he lost to the mighty Faroe Islands and paid with his job. The Tinkerman was never this hilarious when at Chelsea…
The Hither Green Club side travelled to the Rising Sun, won by 7 – 6 in a close game and stay above the Fox’s A as a result. The Rising Sun are safely in second with both Brockley Soc sides in hot pursuit, like Nigel Farage after a pre-election Tory coward. Brock Soc B moved above their A side with a 7-6 against the Nap B. The side from Bovill Road more than doubling their points tally with the half dozen gained here.
Thanks to those of you who said a few kind words about the blog on Saturday evening, just goes to show that the beer was NOT watered down as some had suggested !! Fair play to the Penge Trades and all the trophy winners on the night, hopefully a bearable night was had by all.
Enjoy the game and when you think that all hope is gone, it probably is!
GREAT DARTS!!
