Week 1 and 2

Week 1:

Monday: We fought hard and lost 10-14. The entire team, except for myself was shooting well. We ended up loosing, but we felt good about our first showing in A1 Monday. A highlights for me was the game one win taking a 90 out in an odd fashion against a good shot who then hit a T80 and set up a 118Finish in the next game. Also a 120 Start later in the night. Other then that my game was a little flat.

Tuesday: Big win as we expected 21-3. The Tuesday team looks to be good and should only get stronger. Personal highlight a 105 out. Highest of the week in the league. That surely will not last with the caliber of teams playing.

Week 2:

Monday: A little more disappointing then week1, lost 9-15 against a team that was not as strong as the week one boys. Could have, should have. The season should only get harder, just hope to give it our all. Only 317 All Stars, well below where I should be.

Tuesday: A solid win 17-7 down a Kettle of Fish. The nicest bunch of opponents. Even with the good win we left some games on the board that we could have easily won. Personal highlight was my game one win against Andrew Doyle.

Next week Monday no games. Next week Tuesday, O'Hanlon's Dynasty... A true test. "Come On!"

Bar on Fire

Last night at a very late hour playing some darts... Firemen and cops rushed into McSwiggins (which is recently under new management) asking everyone to quickly leave because the diner next door was on fire. The same diner where we just had take out from. McSwiggins was one of the first dart bars in New York that I played out of. The new management was doing some renovations and two of the tree dart boards were taken down. I do hope the boards are put back up and they continue to play in league as well as have a great beer selection and keep the beer priced reasonably.

After the fire we headed over to the Black Bear Lodge, which has a dart board, but the setup is quite poor and not the reason to go to the bar.

In the picture below you can see the diner filled up with smoke and obviously the roof on fire
