Game one - double top vs the bachelor.
Pablo back from his native potato land was going to need a point at least to start making a move up in the rankings. Dan who had struggled the last few weeks had home advantage and was going to try and use that to his advantage. Dan took the first game to go one up on the little irish man, but in true irish fashion the wee man clawed one back to make it 1-1. It wasn't going to be a classic this match but it did entertain. With pablo taking the second leg dan came back with another two to make it 3-2 with a fantastic 17 darter. Could pablo take a much needed point in the last? Ohh yes, crushing dans confidence to leave pablo happy with the point and dan kicking himself as he slowly slips away from the leaders.
Game two - the bickie vs rock n roll
Bitterness carried into this game from an earlier incident at work that very day. With lee stopping at nothing to win the league title, he "accidently" burnt mickeys hand hoping that the struggling south paw would not be able to throw his darts. Well he shouldn't have worried, mickey the seasons dark horse, again having a lacklustre display with lee winning with a 4-0 win with a quality 20 darter thrown in, but this again wasnt a great display from two players who we all know can play better darts. Rookie now climbing the ranks whilst mick remains on the slippery slope of no return.
Game Three - Scared a you vs lethal weapon
Two guys trying to take to spot were certainly up for this one, and it started in unbelievable fashion. Mart smashing two 85's in the first leg thought he must of won it, only to lose it by not been able to hit the double with no fewer than 12 darts giving jon a gift and the first leg. That was the story for the next two legs with jon taking a 3-0 lead. Mart then collected himself together and, in what had to be one of the greatest comebacks in TNPLD's history turned the game on its head. With the chance of an eight darter, he took the next leg, although it took him 25 darts. With jon delaying the game for some unknown reason, martin carried on his barrage of pressure taking the next leg and a point in his sights. Jon then threw two points away by handing mart the last leg making the game 3-3 and leaving jon bewildered with the point. Just after jon went home blebbing!
Game four the hammer vs the destroyer
One word can describe this game..."weird". It started ok for the hammer, throwing a couple of treble twentys in consecutive goes seemed to take an early lead but couldn't finish for toffee. This had seemed to be the case all night, plenty of chances lost to the double curse. Well belly took the first and second, leaving the hammer for dead. Jase had to turn this around and stop the rot of losing to belly for the past three meetings. And he did, taking the next two he started edging at the destroyers confidence, or so he thought with the destroyer taking the next two games to make it 4-2 and take him back into top spot, a deserved top spot as well. As for the hammer he'll be hoping history repeats itself by not losing again like the first half of the season after succumbing to the destroyers powers in the first game.
Game five bachelor vs shmo-key
Battle of the bottom. Pablo buzzing from the point off the host earlier in the night had another point in his sights. Well in good old shmo-key fashion rich took the first. Pablo who hadn't seen rich's rise to fame over the last few weeks didn't let that get the better of him. He took the second to make it 1-1. It seemed like this was going to be the order of the night, but with pablo taking a 3 week absense from the league took the next 3 legs, 2 points and propelling him into 9th in the league and surely now has his sights set on catching the brickie in 8th with his 2 games in hand.
