York Thursday Night Premier League Darts - Destroyer and Hammer assert in potential slip up week.

This weeks fixtures offered those in the nether regions of the league a chance to cause upsets with the top 4 drawn against, those on form, they would expect to dominate but as ever the TNPLD showed yet again that no game is easy and surprises are the norm. Firstly though the evening was marred by the absence of Scared a You who had overdosed on the hops and collapsed to his bed unable to compete. This however was not the poorest excuse as Double Top was remaining sober for the entire evening due to so called work commitments claiming Friday 13th was his busiest day and he needed a clear head. This raised calls for the introduction of drugs/alcohol testing whereby no player should be allowed to compete unless they are under the influence of beer or wacky baccy. The committee will convene to discuss this outrage at a later date. First up Rock n Roll v Bachelor, a tense opener with great courage shown by the curly one by playing despite his traumatic week and he was applauded by one and all for his dedication to the TNPLD. Pablo took advantage in the early exchange of Lee's obvious lack of concentration and grabbed the opening leg only for Rock n Roll to recapture his form and take the 2nd, but not to be denied Bachelor seized the 3rd comforted in the thought that his pet little black ball of fluff was dozing behind him (what is that all about, I am bring Freddie our hamster to the next match) Lee then asserted finding his form and a brilliant 87 checkout for an 18 darter in the 5th leg helped seal what was in the end a comfortable victory 4-2. Next up Lethal v The Brickie, after a 4-0 drubbing in their first encounter this should have been a formality for Lethal, but yet again erratic flinging caused the form book to be thrown in the bin. After beating Lethal in the final of China Open at the ALly Pally the previous weekend The Brickie was full of confidence and swept into a 2-0 lead. Lethal recovered some dignity with a 17 dart 3rd but the Brickie was not letting this one slip and carved out a deserved 4-2 win which basically reminded Lethal that he really isnt as good as he thinks he is. The Destroyer v The Spears were next up with Brett returning from a break in the sun Neal must have thought this would be plain sailing, but The Spears hit the ground running and was throwing for doubles when The Destroyer was on 200+ in the 1st leg, but the Spears fell apart and couldnt follow up his brilliant start with a finish and The Destroyer capitalised on his frailty and also took the 2nd leg while The Spears pondered the 1st. A nip and tuck game followed with the somewhat unconvincing Destroyer stretching out to a 4-2 victory. Shm-okey after a trip the the toilet the very moment he was called to the oche then a fag then a chat graciously greed to fulfil his fixture with the coiled spring known as The Hammer, form wise this was a no-brainer with The Hammer 1/ 100000000 with Ladbrokes to win, but could Shm-okeys reknowned delaying tactics raise the heat and set The Hammers nerves a jangling. No,basically, this was a walk in the park and The Hammer ran out an easy 4-0 winner with a 16 darter thrown in for good measure. The Hammer has now reaffirmed his position as TNPLD favourite with a confident performance. Shm-okey on the other hand is to be fitted with a straight jacket on arrival at future venues and only released to play his game ,so nullifying his yawning delaying tactics. Last game of the night was the disgracefully SOBER Double Top v the very weary and tired pensioner Lethal, amazingly though after a couple of tinnies (Jase used his big fat aris to knock my beer off the pool table limiting my intake ) also being up way past his bedtime Lethal produced the type of arrers he has threatened all season running out a 4-1 winner but one particular leg stood out as Lethal opened with a ton followed by a 125 leaving a possible 8-darter The Hammer drew everyones attention to the possible 8-darter then hang on he is still on a 10 darter, no hang on maybe a 12 darter, oh unlucky maybe a 13 darter .........30 odd darts later no-one cared who won the leg. This season is really more open than Madonnas legs and is bound to see more ups and downs than Jordans knickers, so keep blogging and .......Good arrers!
