Last night we played the last place team in our division and barely escaped with a 12-7 victory. Actually, we all threw pretty decent darts, but “The ‘B’ Team” has either really improved since we last played them, or they were throwing awesome. Or both.
I had a 5-mark, two 3BCs, a ton-20 and a ton. And I wound up 3-3 for the night. My own damn fault, because I blew both of my cricket games in singles. I was playing a strong player and threw six darts that didn’t count for anything plus some one marks. That ain’t winning darts. How I could be on bulls but miss three throws at the 19 just blows my mind.
Three weeks left in the season against three tough teams. Eberhardt (Scrooge Pub) at home, then Alley Ratz at 3 Alley Pub and our long anticipated rematch with the Blessed Bulls at Bless U Pub. Should be interesting. We have a lock on a playoff spot already, but it would be nice to sneak past Alley Ratz for first place. Probably gonna need some help to do that at this point.
Hey John. Sounds like a hard fought evening, but in the end, a win is a win. And I know what you mean about how that little circle in the middle can feel comfortable to hit, but then one of those large pies seems suddenly so small. For myself, whenever that happens, something about ‘the broad side of a barn’ pops into my mind.
The Blessed Ones were able to take down FFOD, but it’s an uphill battle for us to make the playoffs. Help us out and take down Eberhardt and the Rats. We also are looking forward to the evening with you guys.
Colin, the way I understand the format the top 3 from each B division PLUS two wildcards (based on best overall win percentage) make the playoffs. I think that puts you in pretty good shape.
