Not really sure where to put this topic ....but...
On Tuesday this week I was dragged out of retirement (a 25 year retirement) to make up the numbers to play for a local pub darts team.
Well, I went, we played away at Llanfairfechan, we won spectacularly and I loved every minute of it.
Now, we are short of at least 2 players for next week ...and every week in the future, PLEASE, if you fancy a friendly game of dartsand a bit of fun, let me know and you are on!
The standard is not good, so don't worry, nothing will be expected.....but if we don't get a full team together, we lose games by default.
This is open to menand women alike ...as its a mixed league.
Let me know via this thread, or drop me a PM if you are shy ...

Wish i was younger Fester i`d be there like a shot, I played in the mid 70`s to mid 80`s first for the Gresham when Len Fitzgerald had it, then the R A club and lastly the Hotpoint Club, Enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you find somebody.

Barbs ... don't let that stop you !
There is a free sausage sandwich in it if you do ...

Who do you play for Fester? I used to play many years ago and my Dad was a bit of a famous local dartist. I keep threatening to make a comeback but It's tough to get up for work the next day!
-
I used to be a keen player. Had a beautiful set of very fine tungsten arrows with 8 foot canes. I could almost get any score demanded providing my hands were steady! L0L
Oche! Oche!! Oche!!! Oy,Oy Oy!! _))*

Its the 147 Club Paddy,
Its a good set of lads (and lasses sometimes)
I have to get up for work too, iys all over by about 10pm, or very soon after...
Give it a whirl ... nothing is expected.

If you become more successful, Fester, they will be naming it the 501 Club ;D
"One hundred and eighteeeeeeeeeeee"

Hey Fest How`s the team done last week?Hope your winning. Did Paddy join you?
-
Hi Barbs ..
I thought Paddy sounded enthusiastic, but he didn't follow up on my last appeal.
Never mind ... we have won all three matches we have played thus far ... and we won tonight!
A lot of fun, and some great food laid on too!
Next week we have a major test, we are playing in Penrhynside ..... some very good teams there, I don't fancy our chances.
-
Which pub?
-
The Cross Keys.
Apparently they spilt off from The Penryhn Arms, and they are a good team in thier own right.
-
Tuesday saw our 147 team defeat the previously unbeaten LINKS hotel.
It was a great match, going down to the last dart of the deciding leg to settle it.
I have to tell you that a certain 'Born to Run' member of this Forum threw a majestic ONE HUNDRED and EIGHTY in his match.
-
Well done. :'(
-
Ahhh thank you Fester $thanx$
Glad that 180 turned my game around so I was able to bag the finish also. D)
Hope you enjoyed tonight's curry mate! $good$
-
SSSHH... B2R, Don't you know that I am on hunger strike??
See the Colwyn Bay Pier thread...

Mine and Fester's team having a great start to the season - lying in second place and only having lost one game.
Fester will be embarrassed that I reveal that he is currently riding high at the TOP of the leagues individuals having played 6 and only lost one. D)
However we only have at the very most 8 players and could do with all the more - so if anyone fancies a throw feel free to come down the 147 anytime. Z**

It would be more apt if it was called the One Hundred and Eighty!! $donald$

;D
Very good point actually!!
The place doesn't have one single snooker table - so the only way one could achieve a score such as 147 would be on the dartboard!!

Treble 19, bung hole, double 20! Voile! $good$

GAME......SHOT...... AND THE FIRST LEG, ....TO ............YORKIE!!

Tonight I watched the gentleman below POWER his way to the £100,000 prize in winning the Grand Slam of World Darts on SKY.
He produced a near record-breaking performance to see off 2 of the best players on the planet in the same day!
He beat Adrian Lewis (The current World Champion) in a long semi final in the afternoon.
He then went into the final to beat Gary Anderson (the Premier League champion) ... a score of 15-4
Not bad for a 51 year old Grandad, who many had written off last year.

you know what they say about the cream, fes.

Tonight I got called up to play for the Llandudno Super League Darts team.
What this means in reality is that they were desperately short of players, this is always the case when they reach down as far as my level. ( I know my place in the pecking order )
These matches usually involve a 60 mile round trip, to some Godforsaken town in North Wales, to some of the worst pubs and clubs imaginable, just to get my backside kicked. However, for some masochistic reason I enjoy it.
But tonight, I was so surprised at the elegant venue that I thought I'd post a day and nighttime picture of it.
Quite a setting for a darts match wouldn't you agree?
Most on here will know this fabulous building, but I've never been to it before.
-
Wow, where is that and did you win?
Are you sure you weren't hallucinating?

I didn't win Hollins, I've never won a Suoer League match, only the odd leg or two.
I lost 4-2 last night, and the team lost 5-3. I'm out of my depth at that level but it's nice to be called up I suppose. There are some fantastic players in that league, it's a UK wide set up full of players who play for their county, country and often semi-professionally.
I'll let one of the Forum luminaries tell you where the building is, it's quite well known.
-
Glad you enjoyed it F. And I am sure you gave it your best. And a great venue.........Caer Rhun Hall.
Some info here H. http://www.caerrhunhall.co.uk (http://www.caerrhunhall.co.uk)
Look out for the Mothering Sunday Tea.........

I knew that as it was also the venue for the GORJYS music festival I worked at in the summer.
Not sure what you lot were doing in there! What's wrong with the Wellman's in Llangefni? $walesflag$
