well what can is say. This was a very hard fixture.
I had drawn the Captain, an unfriendly sort who didnt crack a smile at all during proceedings. Contempt is the word i would use and there was very much a 'them' and 'us' atmosphere. Nothing friendly like other ties.
The early games were back and forth, and we ended up at
2-1 down before my match.
I won the bull and then led
with consistent scores in the 50’s to leave myself on D15, which I took out on
my first dart. So 1-0!
The second leg played out the same as I led from the start and
hit a 95 and a couple of 80’s to leave D15 again.
I hit single15, then hit 1
and then D7 on my last dart to take the tie 2-0 with clinical finishing.
This levelled us at 2-2 however after that we
were again unlucky and finished up on the end of a 6-3 loss which didn’t reflect
the closeness of the tie.
Overall i was pleased to get back to winning ways after 2 close losses in the last few weeks that i should have won. Whilst i didnt hit the 100+'s consistency was the key and i have watched several players hit 100+ only to lose the match on the doubles!
The win gave me my 5th of the season in 8 fixtures to lead the teams player board!
