Numbers-wise, Thursday Night Darts Club 74 was a truly sorry affair, with just 4 athletes present, and as one of them (Gar "Milky Bar" Kiernan) was father to a relatively newly-born spring lamb, the competition finished at a record early 8.45pm. However, highlights included a top finish of the night of 64 from Lara, and a highly entertaining game of reverse lives, where you have to get a lower score than the previous player, and any shot outside the board is worth 45. The title came right down to the wire and the Milky Bar Kid had no less than 21 darts to win it, but didn't have sufficient hunger, and John "The Equaliser" Delaney prevailed for a 27th time.
Lara and I perambulated for about 15 minutes where we found ourselves in Break For The Border, where 2 €30 Citydeal vouchers (acquired for a mere €10 each) were expunged in return for 2 pints, 2 starters (a very delicious warm chicken and chorizo salad for me, chicken chimichange for herself), 2 mains (a not-brilliant "steak" burrito for me (stewing steak, more like), and a passable chicken burrito for the wolf-lady) and 2 Irish coffees. Good, eh?
Fatigued by so much food, it was time to grab a bus and reach home in record time for a Thursday night. With TNDC's 75th edition next week, a clarion call will need to go out to all its athletes to ensure a bumper turnout.
