Week 9

I start this weeks round up with some sad news, which I am sure many of you will be aware of already. Our good friend of the league Barry Bullock passed away. Barry had been fighting cancer over the past few years in his own special way, the Barry way. No complaints from Barry, he got on with it, lived life to the best he could, played golf with friends and always, without doubt, enjoyed his darts right to the very end. In my eyes he was a gentle Gentleman and I like many only have fond memories of him and will miss him dearly. RIP my friend.

This weeks darts round up,

Well, what a week we have had. Sun, a great week of football topped of with darts on a Friday, it doesn’t get much better than that really. I am going to start this week in division two, where we have new leaders, the Admiral Cups. They beat the Boars Head A 6-3, Ricky Edwards checked out on 120.
