Day 167 - Thursday, June 16th, 2011

And lo, didst Thursday NIght Darts Club 89 come suddenly upon us, and a magnificent one it was too, with no less than 14 athletes in attendance, including 3 debutant(e)s - the lovely Carla and Ida, visiting from Italia, and the promising young wunderkind Adam "The Apple" O'Brien, who crowned his debut with a brace of TNDC World Ranking points. Demand for food from Di Bella Cafe next door was phenomenal, and the chef kindly provided a large container of chilli flakes for me to douse my Chicken n Red Onion Pizza with - bleedin' d'lish! Reigning supreme at the oche was Gar "Milky Bar" Kiernan, who secured a 7th TNDC title, whilst Lara "Tryples" Della Volpe wowed the capacity crowd by hitting 2 bulls-eyes with the first two darts of her throw - a TNDC first. The lady just goes from strength to strength!

The throw with double bull! Note that others are not so accurate......

A beaming Maverick and Carla use the event to announce their engagement, slightly awkward given that Mark is married and with-child

Contentment : 16.5 / 25
Excitement :    3 / 10
Memorability : 3 / 15

Overall Score : 45% (42nd out of 167)
