History was made today when the TNPLD ignored its protocol and ventured into the unknown territory of Banky Monday darts. In an attempt to consolidate backdated fixtures the gauntlet was thrown down at the Fakeside and the call was answered by The Brickie, Shm-okey, The Hammer, The Destroyer and Lethal. Those who never dared to tread into this unknown should be aware that out of sync arrrers can have a dramatic affect. First up was The Brickie v Shm-okey a tense affair which was marred by Shm-okeys blatant underestimation of the importance of the TNPLD, weening his child whilst being engaged in a game which on reflection could have been his first 2 pointer of the season. The Brickie set off with a 16 darter and we all believed that the writing was on Jases wall (you know..the one that Mart usually pisses up) but the next leg gave everyone thoughts of Lethal (a 60 darter) nuff said 1-1. With the scores tied The Brickie showed his nerves in the next leg with a total accumulation of 5 in the first 6 darts but he overturned his poor start to finish in 25. The Brickie then went 3-1 up and again we all thought game over but Shm-okey comforted in the thought that his sons nappy had been changed swept into a 20 and 28 dart closure which secured a well deserved point. Next up a game which darts fans the world over had been waiting for ...... Hammer v Lethal ... After avoiding the initial battle housing himself away for the weekend in a caravan with 14 practice boards and Phil the Power Taylor coaching while his wife and kids slept in a 2 man tent eating cold beans and porridge without milk The Hammer with his apologetic face said to Lethal shall we play.... Lethal was cannon fodder as The Hammer blew him away 4-1 including a 14 and 17 darter that even his mentor The Power would have struggled against. That meant yet again The Hammer resumed top spot..........but for how long. The Destroyer, fresh and determined from regaining top spot last week confidently strode up to the oche thinking a return to top spot, after briefly losing the pinnacle position to The Hammer, was a formality against the unpredictable Brickie. How wrong he was after The Brickie put up a sterling effort with a bunch of games that never exceeded 30 darts that quite literally could have gone either way,however, The Destroyers experience and confidence told as he ran out a 4-2 winner. All in all a cracking afternoon which yet again throws the TNPLD into No Mans Land with no-one able to predict the overall champion.
Good arrers!
