This evening Doolan's simply witnessed a feast of athleticism, with no less than 14 competitors deciding to tog out for TNDC 103, the highest number since April of this year. John "The Equaliser" Delaney proved that his recently brush with the professinal ranks in Killarney has done him the power of good, with a 2nd title in a row, and another maximum 180 score, matched by Dean "The Dinosaur" Brennan. There were exciting scoring debuts for young Italian talent Daniele "Cornetto" Olmetto and the Pride of Kilnaleck, Garda Martin "G-Force" Donohoe.
The evening also saw the return of Austin "The Iceman" McEvoy after extensive paternity leave, and he brushed off the tungsten cobwebs with ease to gain 4th place on the night.

Day 287 - Friday, October 14th, 2011
A day off work today, in order to head down to Killarney for their annual Darts Festival, accompanied by TNDC's top athletic talent, Mr. John Delaney. The four-hour drive passed without incident, except for a stop in the surprisingly-large Limerick town of Abbeyfeale, where a very enjoyable Lasagne and chips was hoovered up with relish. Onward to our bed and breakfast lodgings for the weekend - central, highly adequate, and a steal at €25 per person per night.
On our walk to the venue, we met my visual twin, Paul "The Asset" Nicholson and his girlfriend. Tonight saw a qualifying competition where the Top 32 get through to Sunday's main £35,000 event. John came up against Pat Molyneaux - a fiendishly tough draw, but he managed to register some good scoring in his 5-0 defeat, and amass excellent experience for the future.
The tournament was over by 9pm, so we headed into the lively town centre and enjoyed ales in many an establishment, all of whose names now escape me. The evening finished off at a chippery where the finest beef patties and chipped potatoes were enjoyed in the company of Antipodean ladies.

Day 283 - Monday, October 10th, 2011
Lunch was enjoyed in The Clarendon, fortifying me for my 2nd and final bout of lecturing at the Institute of Bankers, where a captivated audience of 150 people or so hung on my every word regarding the concepts and conventions of accounting. Truthfully though, they were very participative and cooperative, with absolute no-one spending any time whatsoever on the naughty step!
