The Rotary Club of Corringham Thameside

Last nights club meeting was held at The Orsett Cock for an evening of competition of darts and pool. We did not expect any competition from an overloud rock band that battered our ears for most of the night. Nevertheless, the Rotarians enjoyed an evening together playing darts and pool. The competition was fierce but friendly as one would expect.
In the darts, a one leg format of 301 finishing on a double, saw the clubs darts players move into the second round without too much trouble. From there on it was every man for himself with Andrew Brogan defeating Clive Yallop to meet Brian Munroe who beat David Fenn to the double to reach the final. Andrew took the honours in a hard fought final.
In the pool things were a little less obvious as only three of the players that represent the club in the district competition were playing. The format was just one frame to decide the winner. In the second round, Clive Yallop saw off his “B” team partner, Brian Price. It has to be said that Brian had one of those days we all dread, he couldn’t do a thing right. So the semi-final line up was Peter Mestanek against Clive and Brian Munroe against David Fenn. This is where the form book took over with Clive, who plays with the “B” team defeating Peter and David who captains the “A” team going through. The final was a bit one sided with the favourite going down, leaving Clive to take well earned honours.
Despite the unmusical noise from the band (to give it the benefit of the doubt), we had a very enjoyable evening.
