Day 237 - Thursday, August 25th, 2011

The 97th - 97th!!! - staging of Thursday Night Darts Club took place at Doolan's this evening, and it was the most dramatic for quite some time, with John "The Equaliser" Delaney edging out reigning champion Gar "Milky Bay" Kiernan by a single point to win his 36th title. He scored a 180 in the process, only the 9th in the history of TNDC, which makes darts professionals and officials laugh whenever I tell them but hey!, everyone starts from somewhere! Nine athletes attended in all, including Sweden's very own Daniel "Son Of Hoon" Sjunnesson, who notched up the high finish of the night - a 101, in a game of 101. I came in 3rd of the 9 places available on the night, registering a very slight return to form. Pizza was forsaken in lieu of the pork stir-fry that awaited in the Lighthouse, and was wolfed down gleefully for the 4TH day in succession - a new personal culinary record!
