I have no pictures for the darts match,took a couple but they were too dark so words only.
It was a very entertaining for spectators!! Sheila won one and lost one so not a bad result for her first game,the standard of play was not of premiership level but with practice could improve,(lot of practice) one contestant was Mrs. Broccoli who in her formative years in the mining communities of warwickshire was a Javelin thrower!!I am assured this is true,she also drinks eariwiggi coffee,it seems she had a coffee at weightwatchers and in the bottom of the cup was an earwig the warwickshire pronunciation is "eariwiggi" to be said with a brummy accent.
The reserve team were mainly immigrants to the area,and the locals were in the main the first team.
The homesick Sheffielder Doreen tried valiantly as did all of (MY) team,the local BIG HITTERS were really rather serious about it all and later all the ladies devoured chips and sandwiches,including the two weightwatchers Mrs Broccoli and Dee Daa Doreen(the homesick one.
The scores were in the main fairly low and so the Games were rather lengthy,in fact the president of the WI was becoming worried as she promised to be home for 8.30.and it was around 10.45 by this time.
The area around the board was a little pitted toward the end of the evening,causing the Landlord to ask "does anyone know a good plasterer".
Due to the number of low scoring throws the Scorer had to ask for more chalk to be supplied.the average throw would score around 30. but big oaks from little acorns grow, and it gets the girls away from the soaps on telly.
It also gives sarcastic buggers like me the chance to take liberties in my reporting,but as my old pal Moshe Jones would say"its all part of lifes rich tapestry"
The only worry now is repetitive strain injury,so we shall have to find a good physio.

I'm guessing they didn't have to finish on a double otherwise they would have still been there.
Was Sheila nervous?
No one was nervous they were not into it that serious,and we are a nation of amateurs with sport,
