Stikingly good likeness
Cup semi final for the Drum Monday night team against The Waggon and Horses. A strange cup this one. The first player competes over 5 legs 501, all legs count, then we play a doubles match over 5 legs, followed by a triples over 5 legs. 15 legs available, first to 8 is going to win.
We open with Bubbles as our singles player, he will be playing The Thief, who is also captain. Bubbles puts up a good fight losing 3-2, but the last leg could have gone either way. In the doubles I am playing with Elvis, and this match would turn out to be the turning point. We are playing The Bream (freshwater fish), and Popeye Natch. The Bream is a reliable but rarely exciting player, Popeye the opposite. Unlike the cartoon Popeye, whose source of strength comes from spinach, this Popeye relies on Natch.
This is not scrumpy, and you might lose your friends.
Natch is not Scrumpy, but is a fairly strong bottled or canned fizzy fighting cider. With the right quantity Popeye is a very good darts player, but he can go too far. If he's tripping over the oche, not sure where he is, he's dangerous. Tonight he has brought his own supply, coat pockets brimming with litre bottles of Natch.
Luckily for Elvis and myself he has gone too far, not even too sure where the board is. We win first 2 legs comfortably.
No help for Popeye
Bluto, Popeye's sometime friend, sometime nemesis, is at this time struggling to control his temper. Bluto is a big man who likes to mix his drinks, but whose temperment has often come into question. As Elvis and I take the next leg, Bluto cannot help himself and is now shouting and threatening Popeye, and will soon be joined by the Thief. The Bream, now shedding scales, manages to take the 4th leg, but with no Olive to turn to, and his team mates turning on him Popeye's pipe goes out and we take the last leg.
Our triples are The Wanderer, Trigger and Bonnie Tyler. They face Bluto and two other pirates. We lose the first leg and now lead 6-5. In the next leg the Wanderer is struggling, but Triggs and Bonnie are playing well, and despite Bluto's side getting to their double first, but missing, Wanderer changes the game. With 28 left he manages to throw one dart in the tyre, one dart in the wall, and with the last hits double 14. This hurts Bluto big time. Drum lead 7-5. The next leg goes much the same as the last, yet again Wanderer struggling, but Bonnie leaves him 60. As before TheWanderer hits the tyre with first dart, then hits 20 followed in lightning by double 20. The Drum win 8-5, we explode with cheering, Bluto explodes out the exit, Hoorah. Waggon refuse to play last 2 legs.
For the Waggon, quote Bonnie Tyler- "Its a Heartache".
Hmm, still good.
