York Thursday Night Premier League Darts - Hammer Hits Top, Belly Buckles Under Pressure And Lethal Lathergic Again

York's premier Thursday night darts league didn't disappoint again as the league found itself a new leader. A night of plenty of action at the newly refurbished Wrecking Room.

First up a biggy, Rock n Roll vs Scared o' You. With both players only losing one match up to now in this years league both players were desperate to grab 2 points and climb the league. Starting off with closest bull, both players miraculously hitting 25 twice and after the 5th arrow been thrown went to Mart,63, who went on to win the first leg only because Lee hit  his double to see it bounce out of the new blade 4, (with 50% less wire) was very unlucky to be picking his dart off the floor. Lee struck back straight away to take the second leg. With both players feeling the heat none really got going, with Lee taking the 3rd game to make it 2-1. Scared o' You,64, now had his work cut out, but didn't show any nerves after downing a bottle of Sainsbury's finest cider, his words, not the pikey's on the park bench who also shares his taste in wank alcohol took the second game. Draw master Lee must of though it would be history repeating itself with a sixth draw at least in the bag, but it wasn't to be, Mart taking the next 2 games to beat Lee 4-2 and take Hill,65, only 1 point off top spot with a game in hand and leaving Lee 4 points off top spot.

Next up Dan"Late Again"Rooke vs The Brickie. Mickey with only 1 win all season had told himself that this had to be the turn around game in his season, but could Dan pile on the pain and misery for the gigglebiz fan. The game started off fantastic with Dan on for a 12 darter, but strangely ended up been a 55 darter. Was this going to be the way the match went, well if we mean Dan winning then yes, the first whitewash of the night presumed with a 4-0 thumping of the Brickie, but with no practice board at home could only blame himself for been left handed and too tight to actually buy a board, especially when Rich has 2 in his garage. Dan was now pumped up and must of surely fancied himself for his match up with the hammer later on.

Battle of the top, the one called Lethal who surprisingly enough was still at the venue at 9pm to play his game. Bank holiday Friday looming obviously meant Jon was allowed out a bit longer before Steph called him home for bath night, or so we thought! The Destroyer been rocked from last weeks defeat to Rock n Roll was on a mission, the distant look and stern face showed that this man only had one thing in mind, a win. It started like a classic, Jon blasting into a 1-0 lead with a sublime 14 darter certainly gave The destroyer something to think about. Belly answered back like a chav to a copper, smashing Jon for 6 to take the second leg. With the game tied a 1-1 Belly couldn't of looked any more serious, this game was a must, his heart beating, his brain in overtime and his throwing hand shaking like a $hiting dog he had to take this next leg, but he didn't, Jon going 2-1 up to the delight of one individual who shall remain nameless. With Belly rocked and Jon pumped up like a dwarf on steroids he saw his opportunity to take this game and leave Belly pondering his championship credentials, and the old timer who was by now weeny tired as it had gone 9.10pm took that opportunity and took the next two games. The crowd dismayed by Bellys form looked at Jon to congratulate him in his second spot in the league only to find the smell of burning rubber off his back wheel as he rode of into the sunset for his bedbath.

The Spears vs Shmo-key next. Last years bottom 2, but now this years MILF contenders both had nothing to prove. These two banditos of the arrers had enjoyed a great first half to the season with both players racking up more points than the previous two seasons put together. With Brett starting to slide down the league from a couple of hard matches and Rich finding some form it was going to be a classic game with no apprehension. Brett took the first taking Rich down was some fine throwing, but then in good old Shmo-key style rich took the next two to go 2-1 up. Brett who has tasted glory a few times already this season hit back with the next to take the game to a tense 2-2. Rich who hadn't tasted victory before was licking his lips with the thought of a 2 pointer and a chance to leap frogg the Brickie in the league. Rich did lick his lips after taking the 5th leg on exactly 60 darts, the last dart of the leg before it would of gone into a high score decider, and sending the crowd into a frenzy must of thought it was going to be his night, but The Spears wasn't going to lie down easily, taking the leg and stopping the rotten vein of form from the past few weeks. Both players happy with the point and deservedly so.

New hate figure The hammer was next up against Double Top who had previously whitewashed Mickey earlier on in the night. Jase with 2 games in hand could go top with a game in hand but was certainly not relishing the thought of playing Dan. The game started fast with Dan having a chance of taking the first leg albeit the dreaded doubles curse that so many players have fallen to all season struck the young heart throb and star tattooist "AS SEEN TV", giving Jase a chance which he converted. The next games all went slow, with both players banging in a couple of tons there was never a game under 23 darts, poor darts really from two players who have both seen sub 14 darters legs this season. Jase took the next to make it 2-0 but Dan should of took the third but with the double not flowing again let Jase in to keep his composure and finish to make it 3-0. The last leg was quite subdued, Dan shaking his head  and Jase not taking pleasure in beating anyone who was having "one of them nights" took the leg to make it 4-0 and retain his spot on top of the league.
