good turnout, music playing in the background – lets play some darts. Read on…<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a>As we practiced,
getting ready for the games to kick off Elvis was <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">in the
background </span>on the radio. I always think an Elvis song would be a good walk-on tune – but which
song?</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Anyway, I was drawn in a pretty tough group tonight, it was going to be a
challenge. But I was sure my <i><b>Burning Love</b></i> for darts would get me through. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">First
up was Lisa Roden. In the first leg she hit a 171. With a bit of a <i><b>Shake,
Rattle & Roll</b></i> I managed to come out on top though; 2-1. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Geoff Koster was
next up. Straight off I thought <i><b>Don’t be Cruel</b></i> because he was pinging the T20.
Before you know it I had lost 0-2. I was <b><i>All Shook Up</i></b>. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then came my mate Mike F
Day. He was up for this. I knew he was because tonight he was wearing his <i><b>Blue Suede
Shoes</b></i>. He should have worn his Crocs because that’s how he played as I
saw him off 2-0. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Still a hill to climb though because my fourth game was that
old <i><b>Hound Dog</b></i> Mike Day. I gave him a fright in the deciding leg being on a
double to win, but mean Mike was not about to <i><b>Love Me Tender</b></i> taking out 132 on the bull. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I needed my last game against </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Heemi Johnson </span>to qualify. <b><i>Its Now or Never</i></b>. I was off my game, compared
to how I threw against Mike in the previous game, and Heemi didn’t give
me a look in. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I was not going to be in tonight’s
'mail' of the qualifiers. </span>It was <i><b>Return to Sender</b></i> for me. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As it happened MFD didn’t make the KO Rounds either. So,
into the Consolation we went. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Consolation KOs are one game of 701 so you
don’t get a second chance if you are off. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Our Co-Club captain Raewyn seeing me stood there on my own asked <i><b>"Are you
Lonesome Tonight?"</b></i> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I said Nooo, I’ve just got a bye in the first KO round. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Round
two and I was drawn against one of the newer players, Michelle. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After I dispatched Michelle</span> I could see there were some <i><b>Suspicious Minds</b></i> amongst the other
players that I might be a Consolation Round burglar. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I was through to a Semi-Final against Colleen Cooneen. MFD had won his Semi. It
was <i><b>Always on My Mind</b></i> that I could meet MFD in the Consolation Final. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But it was
<i><b>Heartbreak Hotel</b></i> for me. Colleen beat me fair and square; she is a tough cookie
and came from behind to win this. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">MFD went on to take out the Consolation and
the bragging rights between us, even though I had beat him in the main
qualifying. He kept telling me he was the King. But I said "have you been living
under a <i><b>Jailhouse Rock</b></i>; everybody knows Elvis is the King". </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As we made are way
out of the clubrooms somebody yelled out "Elvis has left the building". I think it
was MFD. He was still pretty pumped. It was only the Consolation, but a win is
a win, I guess.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Sorry no official results
have come through to me this week and below is all I have. Thaank You Very Muuch.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">FINAL</span></b></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Frank
Riddell bt Gary Boyland 3-2 (Frank hit 2 x 180 in the Final)</span></p>

So in reality the night was more like the TV comedy 'Last of the Summer Wine'. </p><p>Hello! - this is West Auckland so it’s probably more like 'Last of the Summer Lion Red'. </p><p>Anyway, in keeping with that theme, me and my two mates, MFD and Frankie, usually head off to a board at the end of the room for a bit of practice before the night's competition kicks off. We practise and talk about the usual things, like the good old days and how good we used to be. In MFD’s case he used to be pretty darn good. In Frankie’s case that’s how good he still is and in my case it’s how good I’d like to be sometime… maybe. </p><p>And of course, we talk about Nora Batty. If you don’t know who that is, you really do need to watch ‘Last of the Summer Wine’. </p><p>I will wait while you catch up on YouTube...</p><p>... <br /></p><p>There you go.<br /></p><p>We practise darts and talk a lot, but these days it’s a little bit muffled through the Covid masks. Hey, its the new Norm. There he is, the new guy down at the club Norman. Hey Norm how are you going? </p><p>Although I do get sick of hearing about the new Norm people are talking about all over the place. I’ll be talking to somebody or other and they say “hey it’s the new norm!” But as quick as I can spin around Norm has disappeared. </p><p>I’ll be glad when new Norm is old Norm and people stop talking about him. Seriously.</p><p>Back to the 'Last of the Summer L&P' (the bar has now completely run out of Lion Red). </p><p>In the break between qualifying rounds and the knockout rounds we three oldies (remember - me, MFD and Frankie? Wish I could remember instead keep having to look at my notes) meet up again and talk about how many 180s we have hit tonight. Í would like to get just one so that I could join in the banter. To compensate I bring the conversation back around to Nora Batty. </p><p>Then we are all distracted. Hey, it’s the new Norm. Just passed by us. That guy is everywhere. </p><p>Soon the night is over, and we make our way outside to the car park for a bit more darts gossip before heading off home. The West City Club returns to its slumber until the next night of action comes around, or the next episode of ‘Last of the Summer Waikato Draught’ – jeez, who is re-stocking the bar for goodness sake? </p><p>Maybe I’ll see you there again next week if I’ve managed to recover from the copious amounts of summer wine I've drunk tonight so I could write this, cheers <br /></p><p>Not sure what all that had to with darts, but to make sure there is some relevance, here are some results…<br /></p><p><b>KO Rounds</b></p><p><b>1st KO Round</b></p><div style="text-align: left;"><p>Steve Hanley bt Mike F Day</p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p>Frank Riddell bt Mike McLeod</p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p>Lee Myers bt Charlotte Holloway</p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p>Ken Moir bt Colleen Curreen</p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p>Mike Day by Jack Mitchell </p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p>Charles Shiers bt Mike O'Grady</p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p><i>Byes:</i> Gary Boyland and Mike Radford</p><p><b>Last 8</b></p><p>Steve Hanley by Gary Boyland</p><p>Frank Riddell bt Lee Myers</p><p>Ken Moir bt Mike Day</p><p>Mike Radford bt Charles Shiers</p><p><b>Semi Finals</b></p><p>Frank Riddell bt Steve Hanley</p><p>Ken Moir bt Mike Radford</p><p><b>Final</b></p><p>Ken Moir bt Frank Riddell<br /></p></div><p><br /></p><p><b>180s</b></p><p>Ken Moir 3, Mike Day 2, Steve Hanley 2, Mike F Day 1, Mike McLeod 1</p><p><b>100+ Finishes</b></p><p>Mike Day 106, Gary Boyland 104<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647747043777326334.post-40261640834382818052020-11-21T10:46:00.001+13:002020-11-21T10:46:37.709+13:00Club Night Results 19th Nov<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal">Those are the ones that made the semis tonight, Mike D,
Frank, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gary B and Colleen. But which one
is Alice in Wonderland, which one is the Mad Hatter and which ones are
Tweedledee and Tweedledum? I’ll leave you to figure that out. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Maybe next week
will be Wonderland for me but I won’t hold my breath because is that a dream, a

here, think Twighlight Zone theme tune)… but that’s a whole new rabbit hole to
go down. Chasing a white rabbit with a Treble 20 on it's back. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Told you at the

Read on...<br /><br /><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><br />Tonight some good darts were thrown on the oches and some good conspiracy theories were discussed over refreshments.<br /><br />The big question was why the small turnout tonight? Was a conspiracy the root cause?<br /><br />One conspiracy theory put about was, is there a new secret Covid cluster in lockdown that has snaffled some of our regulars? Surely that could be the reason. We hadn't seen anything on the TV News. But then again TV source a lot of their stories from YouTube and I'd already been there. Only cute cat videos, street musicians playing drums on paint cans and bizarre 'believe it or not' videos.<br /><br />...<br /><br />...<br /><br />...Mmmmmm, back again, where was I. Can't let that YouTube distract me from finding the truth.<br /><br />Another theory was Donald Trump didn't like a West City Darts event distracting people from the last Presidential Debate and maybe he'd organised the CIA to kidnap some of our top players. This theory could certainly hold some weight.<br /><br />And then there was the old chestnut. Had some our players been whisked away in a flying Saucer by Aliens? If they had, would they come back better players because they had had their memories erased and so could just throw good darts with a clear and uncomplicated mind. Damn - if this one is true, I'll volunteer.<br /><br />One last theory was some players were away at other ongoing tournaments now that some are starting to pop-up post lockdowns. This theory was boring so we didn't spend a lot of time on it. But the truth is out there somewhere Agent Skully.<br /><br />Anyways, on to the darts results. Small number of players but still some big dogs on hand. And some dogs with a bark bigger than their bite, (some self-examination required on the this last one, could be my category?) and some dogs just happy playing..<br /><br />Mike F Day made it back to back Finals to prove he is just that... back !<br /><br />His opponent in the Final was Frank Riddell who continued his good form of late to take yet another Club Night, this one by a 3-1 scoreline.<br /><br />Harrison Donegan and Patrick "The Big Show" Shannon were the losing semi-finalists and I think both were left smarting about their exits at that late stage of the night. Look out for them next week as they will be seeking payback on anybody they come up against, I'm picking...<p></p><p>See you down at the club 7PM next week, if the Aliens drop me off in time that is...<br /><br /><b>KO Rounds</b><br /><br /><b>Last 8</b></p><p></p><p>Mike F day bt Peter Wallace<br /><br />Harrison Donegan bt Tony Sturm<br /><br />Patrick Shannon bt Steve Hanley<br /><br />Frank Riddell by Johnny Mitchell<br /><br /><b>Semi Finals</b><br /><br />Mike F Day bt Harrison Donegan<br /><br />Frank Riddell bt Patrick Shannon<br /><br /><b>Final</b><br /><br />Frank Riddell bt Mike F Day<br /><br /><b>180s and High Finishes</b><br /><br />Unavailable at post time.. <br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647747043777326334.post-9000591066868274542020-10-17T17:31:00.001+13:002020-10-17T17:31:08.962+13:00Club Night Results 15th Oct<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKhOwk7bdzkg9vnni15xZG-W0xglFbs1GofIbEs9mAG0N9uU3tg4egFMHMf-gPa_lihedW4LN6JY2H03h1i9jN-DLG6RqMIwlqBhjL3RGvlDSih9BMAKWb5oP6GZswP5uKXxj5CYRd7Qc/s480/post-west-city-darts-club-night-results-15oct20.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="West City Darts Results 15 Oct 2020" border="0" data-original-height="276" data-original-width="480" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKhOwk7bdzkg9vnni15xZG-W0xglFbs1GofIbEs9mAG0N9uU3tg4egFMHMf-gPa_lihedW4LN6JY2H03h1i9jN-DLG6RqMIwlqBhjL3RGvlDSih9BMAKWb5oP6GZswP5uKXxj5CYRd7Qc/w400-h230/post-west-city-darts-club-night-results-15oct20.png" title="West City Darts Results 15 Oct 2020" width="400" /></a></div>Another impressive night down at the Club, so read on... <p></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a>Sorry to all the blog's readers (2), bit of a late post due to my laptop playing up. Not a huge turnout this week for club night, following on from the big entry list for Saturday's West City Auckland Open. Could possibly be because some people are only allowed out once a week? Who knows...<br /><br />The group games were seeded this week with the arguably best 6 in Group 1. Consequently some big players were knocked out early, namely Mike Day, Steve Hanley and Tony Lee. Some long faces there then.<br /><br />And the impressive parts?<br /><br />The "other" West City Mike Day (yes we have two for those that don't know!), Mike 'F' Day cruised from Group 3 right into the Final. MFD is often my practice partner but he hasn't been playing lately or practicing for that matter. He turned up at the club last week to play but did not qualify for the KO rounds. A week later and he is back again with no practice in-between.<br /><br />Mike can be a prolific T20 hitter when he is in full flow, but to make the Final with little to no game or practice time... well that's impressive. <br /><br />Before the games kicked off I was practicing with Mike and decided to have a throw with his darts to see if they had any 'magic'. For me they didn't. First throw and two of the three fell out of the board and broke one of his stems. Mike had to go to his 'B' stems, clearly upset. I know he was because he didn't stop banging on about it all night.<br /> <br />What he didn't stop was winning. Little wonder his nickname is "The Punisher". <br /><br />In the Final he met Patrick Shannon. Patrick blasted his way through from Group 1. Patrick has only really started taking his darts relatively seriously in the last 1-2 years. I've been playing for over 20 years and can't reach the standard that PS is attaining on such a small total of game time. You guessed it... that's impressive.<br /><br />At the start of this year I had a few battles with Patrick "Swayze" Shannon and felt I could hold my own. But he has now zoomed ahead and that little rivalry has been put to bed before I embarrassed myself. And to further distance myself from those heady days of the early 2020 PS is now known as Patrick "The Big Show" Shannon. On this blog he is anyway.<br /><br />In the Final the "Big Show" was on fire with a 3-0 demolition of the Mike F "The Punisher" Day (phew... nearly missed off the 'r' at the end of Punisher. Then it would have read Mike F "The PunisheD" ay". Probably describes the final better, but I don't need to give MFD more to bang on about as well as his broken stem).<br /><br />Also big shout out to young Tiayana McLeod fpr making it through to the KO Rounds.

Whatever the reason it didn't make the night any less competitive.</p><p>Harrison Donegan made his second consecutive final and is fast becoming the man to beat if you want to win.

Hey, thats not BS - I do, despite my non-qualification for the KO rounds this week. </p><p>Anyway, it can be a bit hard to motivate for that 'home alone' nightly practise session, so Club Night is my Joe Pesci.

Nothing noteworthy, so here we go.... (read on <i>or</i> search YouTube for hilarious videos if you are already bored with my ramblings)<br /></p><p>Despite no club nights, or competitions for that matter, to practice for, I <i>have</i> been practicing at home. So much so that I felt I was getting better. However that was quickly dispelled in my first game. Couldn't stay consistently straight. But my opponent Rob was having his own trouble, I've seen him throw a lot better. I pulled off the win though. </p><p>Next was Tony Lee. I couldn't match Tony's scoring, but at least he is someone to set my sights on. I need to be at his scoring level, <i>at the very least</i>, to be able to say I am improving. New nickname for Tony.. Tony "The Benchmark" Lee.. mmm kinda works for me - for now.</p><p>My third game was Glenn Holt. I dispatched Glenn, again without scoring well. Think these lockdowns have left a lot of players a bit rusty. I needed one more to qualify. </p><p>Next was Lloyd Watters. We both struggled but LW must have oiled up his darts with a bit of lawn mower oil, because he turned out to be less rusty than me. Lost that one, along with any reasonable mood I might have been in 😡.<br /></p><p>One to go, one needed. Colleen Curreen next. </p><p>The games score between us has been pretty much tied lately. I chalked one of her games tonight and saw her take out 82 with a bull finish, so I couldn't underestimate her. </p><p>One leg to me. One leg to Colleen, 1-1. </p><p>I need the next leg to qualify for the KO rounds. Colleen was already qualified. Found a bit of scoring in the leg and I was through. Job done. But not happy, my scoring overall had been woeful.</p><p>On to the KO rounds. </p><p>Gary Boyland was my next challenge, the current 180 King. 3 tonight to go with the 6 the last time club night was played. I couldn't stay with him in the scoring and I was out 0-2. </p><p>All this lockdown practice has seemingly been to no avail. Playing on my own on the spare bedroom dartboard is totally different from playing at the club. More noise, more going on, people interaction and maybe a tiny bit of pressure to perform, in my own head at least. </p><p>Hold on, I've used the term "at least" at least 3 times in this blog post. Damn, now that's 4 times. How am I going to fit in practicing my blogging skills as well as my darts. Okay not expecting much change in my next club night performance then. You can check back next week - <i>if you are interested..</i></p><p>And if you are <i>really</i> interested, get down to the club on Thursday and have a go.</p><p>Oh... before you do head down just check that the PM hasn't put us into Lockdown Level 2.666 (Beelzebub made me type that I'm sure 😈) or some other half pie level that prevents us opening.

Anyway the radio was adding to the atmosphere.
