Tuesday night darts – Game 13 of 14 – Dreamtime vs The Tavern

The newly crowned division 3 champions were up against Dreamtime in their penultimate game of the season. This was also our final away fixture at M52 bar in District 1. This was also out of interest the first bar I played darts in nearly three years ago when I came to HCMC.

With the pressure off and with Dreamtime 2nd from bottom in the table we were, perhaps rather arrogantly, not anticipating any problems. 


At the end of the doubles and triples we were winning 3-2. This should have been 4-1 but we blew a 400 point lead in one of the matches. I only played in the doubles but won it for the team 2-0. So along came the singles. I was fourth up. Dreamtime had already caused two upsets by beating two of our best players so with the score 4-4 it was important I won.


I'm happy to say I didn't disappoint. I scored ok but my checking was very good. I won my match 2-0 and with one game left I've a season record of W8 L5.

After my game disaster struck! We lost our last two singles matches meaning it was 6-5 to Dreamtime going into the last match - A big, big upset was potentially on the cards. Without drawing out the suspense I'm happy to say the upset didn't materialise and we comfortably won the 6 vs 6 team game meaning we drew the match 6 - 6. This was our first draw of the season but it's better than a defeat.

One more match to go in the championship winning season at our home ground of the Tavern next Tuesday night.
