Meeting at the Eagles Hall, the Straight Arrows hosted the Bristle Bashers to thirty-three games of darts. The Bristle Bashers started strong in the doubles, taking two out of three, and kept up the pressure for the remaining thirty singles matches. Looking at the scoresheet doesn’t tell the likely story of both teams playing well with one team hitting the doubles first in all but four matches. Knowing how strong the Straight Arrow players are, I’m sure they gave the Bashers a run for their money despite the final score. Mike Beno of the Arrows successfully finished in four of his five singles and Captain Sonja Twamley catapulted onto the Leader Board with the Women’s High Score of 171! It will be tough for the rest of the women of the league to top that score. Way to go Sonja! Bristle Bashers’ Terry Strawson doubled out a 103 to land in the Men’s High Out top spot of the season and Steve Collins joined X-Men Glen Dilworth with a high out of 92.
Final score Bristle Bashers 28 – Eagles Hall Straight Arrows 5

Although both captains are seasoned league players, they experienced a teachable moment when Harry realized that the scores were incorrectly recorded and he’d already signed off on the sheet. After further inspection of the sheet, the original score was ultimately correct, the problem was that the individual scores for both teams were incorrect. Please Captains, take a few minutes at the end of every match to confirm that all players scores are correct, THEN sign off on it. Don’t make me pull out my red pen and make corrections…lol
