Well, played my 2nd ever League Match tonight against the team closest to us at the top of the League.

I had a Doubles and I was thrown in at the deep end with a singles.

The first doubles came up and there were tons flying all over the place, even a 180 and I thought "f**k" !!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I was up next in the 2nd doubles and what a shocker, the best score of the leg was 1 solitary ton which was mine. The average was probably about 50 between both teams and I was left 82 whilst the other team was still on 293.

I went the Bull route and hit the outer bull, single 17 and had a bounce out at the double top!! Me and my partner then took a further 12 darts at the double from here for them to then finish out 1 shot at the double!!!

It was a very close match and I was the penultimate singles, praying that it wouldn't be down to me for the important leg. It came to my singles and we were 5-4 up, with me and 1 other to go!!

I was very nervous and started with an outstanding 9. Followed this with an honest "60". The other guy then threw, wait for it ................. s20, d18, t14!! What the .................

I think this was what I needed to get me going, next throw 81, next = 140, next 66, next 66 and so on and so. Suddenly I was left with 122 and scored a 74 to leave myself 48.

He was still back on 202, I steadied myself and just missed T16 (I know, close one!! ) but hit the single, wired the D16 and hit another S16.

Here I was heart pumping, pressure mounting, 1 dart on D8. I stepped back, took a deep breath and planted it right smack bang in the middle of the D8 to take the deciding leg!!!

To say I was ecstatic is an understatement!!!

Phew, still coming down from it now.

Nice mate.. one match at a time

Well done it is always nice to win your singles matches. What were you playing as I play 1001 on a Monday night

We play 1001 as well, which made it even worse that I only hit 2 Tons all night. I had 5 x 66's which annoyed me with a few 81's or 85's. I just need to start converting those into tons.
