This weekend Warren Tredea played a lone hand with his seven goals including the winning goal and a mark deep in defence upon the siren to get the otherwise useless Port over the line. A similar scenario was played out Monday 18th of May at the South Eastern Tavern.
The nearest toilet was choked up and failed to flush. An apt description for all non-Keenan players of the 'Enders methinks as one will soon see. The night started promising enough with yours truly still without dropping a leg in the triples, 2-0 was the result including a good 48 peg, left by OMK by myself and Ronald getting in on the act with a d4.
The dudd triple of Ralph, Chris and Ant, returing to the fore after a week off, lost 0-2 to leave us all square after the triples. Promptly Ron and John stepped up and Ron scored for show whilst I pegged for dough, pegging both legs, 53 and 4 for a 2-0 victory. Ralph, denied his usual doubles partner in Martin, proved no good with Chris but the Old Man dragged Ant with him for the choccies in the doubles. Ant did peg one of the legs though. I was busy chatting up the (as it turns out) married barmaid so couldn't tell ya the specifics there. All I can say is that once again the Enders turned ahead 3-2 into the singles.
JK played number 1 and after losing to this fat-bottomed jaggy arsed bitch in the first leg its fair to say my back was up. Subsequently a 73 peg and a 28 peg in a 24-darter and the beast was slain! Enders 4-2.
Ant dropped his singles and Ron, despite being a class ahead of his terrible opponent took it all too flippant, did not play percentage darts, ended up on dud numbers and lost both legs in a row 0-2! Much to my, (being the scorer) amusement! :D 4-4.
Ant offered to score but had already scored in the doubles , plus the Old Man loving a man that can add up quick, I scored the second game in a row to see the Old Man uphold the Keenan name with a 2-0 victory including a 58 peg. 5-4
Two matches to play and Chris already on 1-1 with his opponent so all attention turned to the tall, balding, humble man of the Enders. Friar Tuck perhaps we should call him! Anyway I mentioned to the Old Man that Chris loved an audience and was sure to win the night, loud enough of course for Chris' opponent to hear and hopefully put him off. Well whether it worked or no Chris, skillfully guided by OMK and moi (though with 29 both fell....rarely....silent as we let Chris work out on his own just how the hell to dig himself out of the shit) put the winning dart into the d14 after a nice 5 to win the night 6-5! However it was related later by Chris that in fact his first dart was intended for the 1! :)
Ralph went down 1-2 despite being clearly again better than his opponent, a night for choking on the doubles it seems. Two people that didn't choke was yours truly and OMK. Between us we delivered 5 of the fucking 6 matches of the night, JK and OMK in the triples, JK and OMK in seperate doubles, JK and OMK in singles with 5 pegs from 7 legs on the night by JK, in fact I won 6/7 legs on the night! I shall have to remedy that to 6/6 legs next week if I play! (Scheduled to miss out since I was going to Melbourne though opting out of that trip, in theory I shall still sit out but we'll see!)
Anyway the Keenans' influence on the dart team cannot be debated! Till next time,
PG (aka JK) out.
