The Boards (2 November 2009)
Several
players have questioned why I only do match reports about my own team. As I
pointed out to them it is difficult to write about other matches if I don’t
see them. So Billy Evans, the Captain of the Prince of Wales team suggested that
if other Captains send in some notes about their matches I could then do a round
up of the weeks matches. He said that he would bring the idea up at a league meeting,
but one or two teams have already put some comments about their matches for this
week on the Guest Book.

Yes
it was a ruff night at the vaults, after we had taken an early lead as well, but
fair play to the Red Lion they fought back like terriers, but a disappointing
match by both sides! On a brighter note Steve Culley won the card and Neil
Hutchings won best of breed!!!
The
second concerns the Moderation’s match against the Prince of Wales
"B" team. Incidentally, their Captain Glynn
Bugler, has started to E-Mail me a copy of his teams result sheet each week to make
sure I get it early.
Good
night at the Prince of Wales, with close games right through. A couple of big
finishes from Gorge Hylton (141) and Kenny Robinson (154) sealing the win for
the Moderation. Looking forward to the Red Lion next week (no tea for me). Maybe
a Hylton derby again?
According to Glynn's E-Mail two players from the Prince of Wales "B" team also hit two good starts. S Durant had a 113 break and D Marshall hit start of 112.
When
I collected the results this afternoon, Graham told me about Steve Johnson's
performance against the Power Station. 
Although
Steve lost his Captains game 2 - 1, he could have finished the one leg in 7
darts as he was on double 8 in 6 darts after a 160 start. However he missed it
and ended upon double 2 which he couldn't hit, eventually going on to lose that
leg. The next leg was even worse for Steve as he got the BRUSH.
As
regards my own match of the Prince Of Wales “A” V Libbys, I have to admit
that I didn’t really see much of it as I was drifting away in a little world
of my own. Some people might unkindly say that I was away with the fairies!
However, all the players made sure that I knew about Captain Billy’s TWO
scores of 180 that he hit. Not to be out done, his opponent, Roscoe,
hit 180 too. (Only one 180 that is!) The
final result was a disappointing, (For the P.O.W.) 5 – 3 win for Libbys.
Other match results were pretty much as you might expect except for the 4 –4 draw at the Plough V Plough Wanderers where another one of the ladies was showing her form again this week in the shape of Marg Giles who hit a splendid break of 116 and score of 140.
Finally just a quick mention for G Wood of the Plough "A" who hit a great start of 144 and a superb 9 darter last week on a late result sheet.
