The Hero Wins Dulwich Area Masters 2015

Venue: PLC
Date: 05 12 2015
Dress: Double Demin v Pharaohs

I’ve managed to sort out the results from some photographic evidence. Well done for making the final Decs – not sure where you actually were for it.

Details
DAM 2015 could only be described one way - An SAS selection processed played out with darts and 11 men in physical peak primed for the occasion. In the following 7 hours they would struggle with what most would outline as the most physically demanding day in darts. Oche time is always guaranteed at DAM but would people be able to fulfil that offer?

With only two attendees arriving before the agreed fine time and some players feeling over 90 minutes late was an acceptable time to turn up, there would only be two winners on that Saturday night – Captain Morgan with his throat ripping Rum and Phil the barman and his back pocket.

Ace had burst into the room like a drunken Liberace but there was some surprising finesse to his arm and most were astonished to see him make round two. Had his finage taken affect yet? Had he annoyed too many people? IBTY, bolstering the numbers, was finding his range and promptly took his legs with aplomb. With limited rum intake so far could he be a contender?

Play off
They say that rule number one of mass man darts legs is a maximum of 4 to a board. DAM tore that rulebook a new one and promptly created a 5 man army of darts focused on one goal only: a battle to the semi-finals. Everyone deserves a second chance but some were touching on three and there comes a time when it’s time to sort the men from the boys. Nothing Special and Splash proving they had the
