Betws RFC Darts

The Betws RFC Darts Team is having a successful season and prior to this week’s fixture was lying third in the league. Without a game last week because of the withdrawal of The Fisherman’s, the team entertained the league leaders, Collier’s (Saron) at the club on Tuesday, 30th October.

 The match didn’t start too well for the home team and after the three’s and the pairs, they were 4-1 down, with the pairing of Emrys (The Demon Barber) Wilcox and Don (watch my shoulder) Griffiths being the only winners. It was now all down to the six players drawn for the singles matches. Alas, the score soon became 5-2 when Arwyn (Table for 4, Sir) Roberts lost, but wins for Tony (The Tiles) Archer, Terry (Look and Learn) Davies, Chris (Light my fire) Morris and Jeff (It wasn’t me) Thomas tied the score at 5-5. Enter Alan (When I was in the Army) Smith into the fray, and he produced the finish of his career with a treble 20, 16 and a double top to go out on 116, giving a final result of 6-5 to Betws.

 The Captain, Arwyn (Ti’n twli fel …….) Owen lost the captains match but despite the resting of Mike (White Van Man) Towell, the team gained a well deserved victory. Team Manager Ronnie (Son-of-a-gun) Richards was quoted as saying, “The boys did well, but they should heed the advice of Terry Davies when trying to end the match.”

 Terry had told the boys during the match, “Boys, it’s a quarter of an inch wide and goes around the outside of the board!”  I am sure that all the team will remember his advice but will these words come back and bite him on the bum? Watch this space!

 Next week sees the team up at the Colliers, Garnant.
