At the end of the doubles and
triples we were 4 -1 up. I played in the doubles against two girls who I don’t
think had ever played before. We comfortably won 2-0 with me checking out the
second leg. After this came the singles. I was playing last in the sixth match.
By the time it got to me we already had an unassailable 8-2 lead so the
pressure was off. All I was playing for was male pride and once again I was put
against the girl who beat me earlier in the season – a nice chance for revenge.
I played well in the first leg
but lost, then in the second leg I started to play badly. She was trying to
check out whilst I was still on 250 points fortunately she couldn’t hit that
double and when I got a chance, I took it 1 – 1. In the final leg I started to
throw some good darts again. I got down to checking out with her still on 300
points. This is where all the good news ends because I’m sad to report that I
just couldn’t hit a double. Eventually she got down and had a chance to win and
took it. I lost the game 2-1, yet another defeat to a girl.
To make matters worse I’m sure
this girl must be a Liverpool fan because she is one of the worst winners I’ve
ever played coming over several times to commiserate me. So although we won the
match I wasn’t happy at loosing again. It’s the fourth time I’ve played this
team and lost my singles match every time.
Anyway, the team won which is the
important thing. Our closest rivals beat the third place team which means we
are now promoted as only the top two teams go up to division 2. This does mean
there will be no chance for me to get revenge which thinking about it is just
as well as id probably loose anyway.
The next task is to win the
league. We could achieve this next week as we are playing the second place team
– a very big match!
Lots of practice is needed
between now and Tuesday!
