for the B team by winning 3 – 0. Neil Clayden was the Carlton’s second player to
the oche where he faced Babz. Babz (2 x 140, 2 x 100) increased the B team’s lead

player up where I faced Ted Bainbridge. For the first time this season I (100) managed
a 3 – 0 win. I believe it was also the first time this season that Ted (125, 100)
was beaten by that score. The Carlton then had team captain Ruaraidh Smith play Dave
Heckles. Ruaraidh (140, 116, 2 x 100) levelled the match score to 2 – 2 by beating
Heckles (2 x 125, 2 x 100) 3 – 1 after Heckles had won the first leg. Kay was the
Carlton’s final singles player to step up to the oche where she plated Willie “Pegs”
Davidson. Kay (130) put the Carlton in front by beating Pegs 3 – 1.
With the match
score at 3 – 2 to the Carlton and three games left, both team’s had it all to play
for. The triples had Kay (100), myself and Ruaraidh play Babz, Wakey and Pegs (118).
Wakey levelled the match score for the B team with his D7 finish.
The first doubles
game had myself and Kay (100) play Wakey (100) and Babz and it was Babz’s D16 checkout
that put the B team in front. Neil Clayden and Ruaraidh then played Heckles and Ted
to try and secure a draw for the Carlton, It was not to be however as the B team
won this game and were victorious with a match score of 5 – 3.

No long distance travelling to a distant away venue for the A team in this match
on Saturday! Murdo M was the B team’s first player to step forward to play Ewan MacLean.
Murdo (180, 2 x 100) took 3 legs to put the B team in front after scoring his 180
in the First leg. The B team then had Innes M. play Ian “Bananas” O’Donnell. Bananas

Kenny “Nini” MacLeod. Nini (100) put the match score to 3 – 1 to the A team by beating
Calum (100) 3 – 0. Gordy Mopp was the B team’s final singles player and he faced

D10 for a final match score of 5 – 3 to the A team. The third such score of this
week’s games.
Sea Angling A v Golf Club
This match produced a fairly predictable result
with a total whitewash as the league’s bottom of the table club, the Golf Club lost
8 – 0 to the table toppers, Sea Angling A. The only real surprise was the Golf club
went home without a single leg win in the entire game. I’ve been there against the
same team with the Carlton and it doesn’t make for a fun nights darts! Alex Keiller
(2 x 140, 2 x 100) opened for the A team against Eosa Campbell (140) and his 3 –
0 win set the tone for this match. Willie Reid got the same result against Stuart
Evans before Murdo Alex MacLeod (140, 135, 100) did the same to Andy MacIver. Phil
“The Powercut” Frieslick was next to feel the wrath of the A team as he faced Rory
Ferguson (125, 2 x 100). Rory started very well with a checkout of 71 in the first
leg. The final singles game had the A team’s Jim O’Donnell (5 x 100) play Daniel
Hughes (109).
The triples game had, for the A team; Jim, Rory (100) and Murdo Alex
play Eosa, Daniel and The Powercut. Murdo Alex’s 56 finish increased the misery for
the Golf Club.
The doubles opened with Murdo Alex (100) and Willie Reid (2 x 100)
playing The Powercut (100) and sub Malky. Willie’s D5 finish put the match score
to 7 – 0. The final game had Rory (100) and Jim play Eosa and Daniel with Jim’s D2
finish finally ending a very one-
Saturday saw Murdo MacLeod win the Handicap
singles competition.
