White Lion Darts Night

The White Lion, Ferryside

It was my second time playing darts with the local pub "The White Lion." I was a little tired as I'd been up late the previous night having a really good time at Tuesday Night Music Night but this is not an excuse! My darts playing has a lot to be desired.

I got there early thinking that I would have a practise before the match. One of the past players who was having a drink with friends, tried to show me how you should throw the darts. I tend to use all of my arm and I'm getting shoulder ache! But its tricky! You have to somehow keep your shoulder still, straighten your arm and throw from the elbow I think, and throw fast. I'm not sure if this is right. The ex player ( sorry I don't recall his name now) kept telling me to keep my arm straight, not as easy as you might think, for me anyhow. After a while practising I got tired and waited until the match started.

I lost both my games! Not surprising! I can get a few good points sometimes, but ending with a double is nigh impossible. I'm hoping I will improve as time goes on.

We played at home to the Ferryside Rugby Club and won our match 6 - 5, no thanks to me of course.
