Cheers KingP!:) I'm there for the experience first and secondly the darts and the laugh!:D Getting past the first round would be great for me but I expect Daffy to do well, super player! I'll have to beat him on my board before we travel over, sounds easy enough!;):p:p

Rat lost 3-0 to Mike Cunningham

Daffy won 3-0 against Richard Evans and then lost 3-1 to Tony Steel

Kingp35 · 22-09-2009 9:34am

So lads tell us about the experience, what was it like?

And well done Daffy on winning your first round 3-0.

Hard luck rat but hope it was good experience for you.

It was a great weekend!:D Beer was flowing, darts where been thrown (badly by me)!:D

Personally I was like a nervous wreck but the nerves seemed to go in my last game and I'll be a better player for that expierience.

Daffy was very unlucky with the doubles but there is always the next tournament!

Finally fair play to Zazziboo (Daffy's other half), brilliant in getting to the last eight of both the ladies doubles comps!

Can't wait for the next one!:D

Gurney did well tho!

He did, I watched three of his games. In two of his matches though which he won, he had a disagreement with the markers and players. In one of those games he had 15 left, he argued and got the score changed to 16. I thought he had15 left myself! Didn't like that!

dionsiseire · 22-09-2009 3:45pm

He's entitled to get the scores checked if he believes the score to be wrong as long as he hasnt thrown his next 3 darts yet. You have to remember these lads are counting all the time and he would have thrown to leave himself 16. if he got it changed to 16 then he must have been right, as a marker i wouldnt change the score unless i could be conclusively be prooved wrong

I know that, he also in the previous game had his score changed and won that game also!

dionsiseire · 22-09-2009 3:56pm

Well shows he's right and it pays dividends to count your scores and not just trust the marker

was it loser marks?

I think he was in the wrong with his own scoring as did many people who where watching the games, he won anyway that's all that matters!

Yeah it was loser marks.

thanks dt killarny next for me cant wait then it could well be to germany where i WILL play better in the singles event unfortunatly this time i just couldnt hit any double on the board which resulted in a 3 0 loose happy enough with the way i played in the doubles though.

dionsiseire · 24-09-2009 1:06am

im still on the fence about going to killarney, i think i might leave it this year and continue to practice
