Into The Semi’s
In the district 1240 darts competition, the club’s “A”team met Mardyke Valley Rotary Club’s “A” team in the quarter finals of the competition. First up to the ochie was Peter Matthews who after dropping the first leg came back to win the tie 2-1. Andrew Brogan, standing in for Peter Burfoot also managed a win to give us a two point advantage, before David Fenn put us three up with yet another 2-0 win. The last of the singles matches brought Terry Finnegan to the ochie, in the knowledge that just one more win would see us through. But it was not to be. In the first of the pairs Peter and Andrew lost a tight match, leaving the tie finely balanced. If David and Terry failed to win their pairs then everything would depend on the result of the quadruples. The first leg went to Mardyke, and things did not seem too positive, but after a thrilling second leg we managed to bring the scores level. The deciding leg also went to Corringham and with it the satisfaction of going forward to the semi-finals for the first time in a good many years. Whilst enjoying our win, we must praise our opponents who put up a strong fight and took their defeat in the time honoured fashion of all good sportsmen. We had plenty of laughs, and as usual the evening was played out in the usual good humoured manner of Rotary competition.
