Darts!!

Last night was our last dart match of the fall season. The evening left me both sad because it was over but incredibly excited because it was our best effort as a team and my best showing of the year. I had my first sweep of the year in single's cricket and got my first highlight of the year with a 125 during a doubles match of 501. Almost everyone on the team had a great night and for the first time went into the final round of doubles having clinched the match so there was no pressure. That might explain how my doubles partner Wayne and I got swept for the first time. Prior to last night Wayne and I were 11-1 on the year. We ended the season 11-3 which was the best doubles record on our team and likely one of the best in the league. The team had many highlights last night with multiple 7 counts and a few 120+ throws.

The season was a time of learning and transition. The team had won the C division last year which moved them up to B division this year. The original team had four players and brought in two new players this year including myself. I was a rookie and the other guy (Jon) was rusty and hadn't played in awhile (sounds like he was a pretty good dart player back in the day). We ended the season on a 2 match winning streak and finishing tied for 7th in the 11 team league. It was great to end the season the way we did and should give us some momentum heading into spring league.

On a personal level, I truly enjoyed playing and am so glad to have been asked to play on the team. It is a great group of guys and we all get along very well (even though we tend to pick on each some members from time to time). Wayne, out team captain, did a great job. We found our groove and should be set for spring league. I developed some good relationships and found another guy who likes Tom Waits as much as I.

Till Spring!!!!!
