Doubles Competition – Friday 28th September 2007
This was played at two venues resulting in two winners going through to the 'FINALS NIGHT' on Friday 28th March.
It was played as a best of three ‘501' knockout format with the final of the each venue to be played as a best of five, with a third place play off on the ‘FINALS NIGHT' for the two losing pairs which will be best of five.
The two winning pairs will play best of seven on the 'FINALS NIGHT'

80 league players formed 40 pairings and the matches were spread across three venues, The Beer Engine, Los Toscales and Swiggs Bar. At each venue, the matches were played to a venue winner with a round robin format determining the eventual doubles winners on the future finals night. It was all to play for.

At Swiggs Bar, favorites Calum and Del Boy overcame the opposition and were the venue winners. At The Beer Engine, some great darts from Toscales players Big Steve Wray and (you aint seen me, alright) Andy Duck saw them take the glory. At Toscales, Chairman Jonny, partnered by Bubbles (AKA Paula Radcliffe, due to their similar physiques and their love for wearing vests) found themselves in the venue final against Dom and Ray from the Target Bar A team. In a very close final, the advantage ebbed and flowed between the two pairings before the lads from the Target Bar won by 3 games to 2. An ecstatic Ray and coolness personified Dom turned to me and with huge smiles on their face said “ will you give us a good write up now we have won?”. I said I would but as the Chairman of the league I had to reiterate to them that the write up would have to be far, honest and truthful.

So, just for Dom and Ray I would like to accurately describe the final.
I have never witnessed nor been involved in a more flukey darts match victory than this. How they won, throwing erratic and to be honest, second rate darts still leaves me baffled. All I can put our defeat down to was Bubbles who whispered to me, “Jonny, shall we let them win, they have never won anything and the way they play probably never will. I think they may burst into tears if we beat them?”. I duly obliged so we lost but in our hearts both Bubbles and I know we did the right thing. What I cant understand is some people in the past, have accused Bubbles and I of being bad losers. Well played boys!
