The Rights lads left Blacon (which resembled the Gaza Strip on this, the loudest of all nights) a touch trepidous on their way to play the unknowns of Kingsway's Dee Miller. There were a number of reasons for this.
a) The Dee Miller were an unknown quantity
b) The lads had shown signs of ring rustiness in the opening 2 fixtures of the season
c) Tyler has been disrespecting the lads on the board, and he is a sporting God.
So when the lads went up (in order as good as my mind allows...) Big Cock Pete, Rofty, Daz, Big Burnsy and Goffy, nobody expected the game to be won. 5-0 up. Up steps Bulldog Coleman, new signing, who manages to score 1 with his second three darts, and gets tossed. Next up was me, NWAS, and I was shit. I spluttered my way to beating a girl on mads. 6-1 going into the Barneys.
Over hot dogs and pork pies, Brighty pulled out of the doubles at the last minute due to missing the board with all three darts in the warm up (he then made a mockery of this decision by throwing well back in the Rights later on...), so The Mighty and El Capitano obliterated the opposition for 7-1, and it was left for Daz 'Ultra' to close the match on D4 for 8-1 in his match with partner Mark Howcroft.
A great all round performance, and a return to winning in a certain style, as opposed to spluttering over the line like last week. Gold stars to Goffy and Leo who both came back from a ton down to finish well, and to Rofty who just blew his oppo away.
So Tyler, if you fancy you chances as Cock of the Oche, pull up at the Rights next Tuesday at 8.45pm. Those without nerves of steel, darts of tungsten and a little skill need not get off the couch. I get nervy playing footy, and it is possibly one tenth of what I feel getting up, on your own, in front of your team mates (who are depending on you and you alone), and stepping into the spotlight. Especially in somewhere like the Bouverie, or the Oddfellows, where it really is quite intimidating. Dont knock what you don't know mate. Were not all big bellied slobs. Only me, Neil, Mill, Goffy, Rofty and Brighty are. Big Cock, Bryan, Daz and Malam are quite slim ;-)
PS - The Rights will be moving to the Egerton in Blacon/Saughall in a couple of weeks. Can El Cap confirm when? From next season we will change the name. Better oche, friendlier pub and cheaper ale.
