Didcot Con Club 3-2 Nelson A

I actually forgot to write the scores down, so you will have to wait for Milko for the scores.

D Atkins beat P Withey
M Trafford lost to Ray Sturgess
L Beer beat P Ewins
S ATkins beat S SHeard
D Tooke lost to K Sheard

So there it is, the unbeaten record has gone :( but also a bit of a relief !
Also now have a hatred for dart players >:(

Didcot Con Club 3 Nelson A 2

Dennis Atkins 16,150 Pauline Withey 260
Mark Trafford 5,530 Ray Sturgess 6,670
Dave Tooke 6,180 Keith Sheard 9,550
Sue Atkins 6,180 Steven Sheard 4,630
Leon Beer 15,070 Pete Ewins 1,360

Top of the table match with 5 current England Internationals, 1 ex England player (unluckily), 1 future International & 1 retired (has-been) England player, or maybe not, as the England captain has asked him to play in the pairs if their is one, in this years International in Jersey. I would have thought people would surely have known by now.!!!

On to the match, Dennis opened with 8,000+ to win easy against Pauline.

The TUTOR & the PUPIL were next, with Ray taking Marks unbeaten record away from him, but they had 5 breaks between them.

(Game 5) I missed both balls on my fist split, Dave got the break back & was going well on over 6,000 but missed to give me a lifeline, which I took coming back with a 9,000 break. To be fair to Dave he did have to put up with the worst of the traffic behind him as the food was being brought out & was also knocked by one of Auntie Paulines good looking workmates.!! :o :-* :-* ;D

The Jersey late night dancing partners were next, with Sue coming out on top in a close affair. (maybe I should reword all that) ;) ::)

Leon went in with 3,000 to give Pete a chance, but left the one up short. Leon then got another break of over 11,000 to win well.


This result leaves us both level at the top with 40 points.

Glads A 4 Glads B 1

We started well, then it was down hill all the way. Kevin played a slow methodical game to beat Dave against the break. I had a dreadful game, and to be honest so did Pete. I was in the lead all through the game, but Pete played the last four minutes of the game out to win, I think we were both glad when it was over.
Bert beat Neil quite easily, but then Neil did have the Black Peg over near the end of the game. Keith beat Reg in game four I did not see this game so can't comment, but Reg had a reasonable score. Phil came off to early in his game to allow Bob to pass his score.

[Kevin Pringle (R.I.P.)]

Sad result really You, Reg and Phil should have won :(

[Richard Stowe R.I.P.]

:( Couldn't agree more Kev, we just don't get the practice anymore with two leagues running in the Glads. But no excuses for poor play. :-[ :'(
