Stunning performance.......

Boot & Shoe - 03/10/06 (h)

Last night we played our 2nd match in the league. We'd heard rumours that these were a good side & that they had won their first game 9-1. This didn't put a few of us off.

Stuart Lacey kicked us off with a steady win proving once again why he is always first in line. Steve Shaw backed this with a similar result to last week. Twice hitting a ton followed by a 40 checkout. Andy Markham's disappointing result last week saw him check in an 83 followed by 100 then a 125. Three nil up and we were becoming increasingly confident of taking a win.

Dave Murby produced the highest check in to date, 100 followed by another ton & an easy double 10 to round things off. His opponent looked at ease throwing a massive 180, but fortunately for us he couldn't capitalise on a finish. Myself stepped up to throw 5th. Checking in 2nd time round with a 32 (16x). My darts were steady & I was comfortable throughout the match finally finishing a 60 check the long way round!! (1, 19, 20x).

At the break we were 5-0 up at darts complimented by 6-0 at dominoes.

The second half were we supposed to be challenged with their 'Big Guns'. Pete Kennington started us off, but couldn't quite finish to give us an early victory. Steve Tennant stepped up & did the honours for us. Checking in with 22 finishing with a 16. Paul Haywood continued his fine form producing some nice darts & once again pouncing on a 123. Rob Lancaster & Dave Walker finished rounded up the night, but unfortunately couldn't produce victories although Rob produced the 3rd highest check of the night with a 72 in.

Overall on the night we produced a stunning display of darts & achieved a fine victory at dominoes.

Darts: 7-3
Dominoes: 9-3

Personal Performance Indicator (PPI):

Once again I have another victory under my belt. No 100+ once again but nice steady darts sustained a relativity 'easy' victory. The win was also complimented with an after tournament victory. I beat Paul Haywood in the final 2-0 checking out a 60.

The new board has also helped me this week as it seems to be more visible. Money well spent I may say. I shall continue the practice & hope for another win next week.
