cheers to the duke and the butcher for organising the darts presentation league, hopefully for next season the league will be stronger and perhaps sky sports will get their act together and come up with an agreable package that will see live darts from the davenham darts league next season.
Tanks to any 'Guests' who played throughout the season, and a special thanks to Mark Greaves for his final season as a guest. As you may know, Mark has started a new job and as such has been told he can have no association with the DVDC due to our poor Cartlidging record'.
Great game last night between Compo and Pete. Must of lasted nearly an hour. This was due in main to them having a conversation between every throw of the darts. In future please do not distract Pete!!!!!!!!!!! The butcher, who was scoring at the time, contemplated nipping home for his sleeping bag.
Anyway the table (only 8 unfulfilled fixtures out of 120)
Thanks for the table update Duke . Where did Hussey come from - Great arrows from Mr Cricket!!
The last day for players to complete their fixtures is Wednesday 14th April - Before the presentation night on Friday 16th . - 7 .30pm at club -short presentation and then the 10 up final .- then off for a curry and ales.
Many thanks for all braving all kinds of weather conditions to paly their fixtures .
i cant say at this precise moments, there have been initial talks of me joining a break away darts league called the weaverham pda league, rumor has it that the pay is much better up there.
also im aware that their heating situation is much better and i wont have to wear thermals to survive an evenings play.
Starting this wednesday will be the 10 up knockout cup.
The draw (FA cup style) will be made at 8.00 pm. This will be subject to getting Compo's hat of him to put the balls in.
So far we have 26 players so there are still 6 spots up for grabs. Let me know before tomorrow if anyone else wants in. £2 one off entry fee.
he names so far are
M Spalding B Floyd J Fartlidge G Cookson A Wood John Shepherd C Day G Wright S Greaves M Greaves D Buckley M Hitchens (subject to the heating being on) Pete M. L Addison L Cookson D Jackson D Ash A Day P Sharples M Kouris I Bentley J Bentley C Jones Jack Shepherd S Slater S McNicol
Think you may of been a bit harsh on the Duke there Mr Chairman.
You are right though, the Duke does have an air of 'class' about him. Some might even go as far as to say he is from gentry stock, rather than Dingle.
Anyway will leave you with this before you gloat any further on beating the Duke the other night. I hear that the result may however be overturned due to some irregular betting on Yorkie to win!
There are only two classes of people, those who believe the impossible, and those who do the improbable.
I ignored earlier postings about the Dukes loss of form.After all class is permanent. Concerned members of DVDC have put it down to the "wabbit" fetish.If only it was so simple.I battered him 3-1 and he was lucky to get 1. It is said that the Duke and Compo have now broadened their relationship.Sharing cheese,salami,port etc like naughty children raiding the fridge.What really is a worry is that they now talk incessantly about Aldi and Lidl prices, recipes for "wabbit",herbs etc etc. So if you thought shooting was the distraction I think it is more sinister-they have started DCCMC-Master Chef for those who werent following the thread. This must be a disciplinary matter.The Dukes honorary position within DVDC cannot be used as a shield. And what about Sharon and the kids??Dad out shooting is ok talk for the playground but dad being a river cottage style foodie-child abuse I say. Concerned of Hartford.
REWARD!!!!! (Wanted for the theft of kiddies pet wabbits) Two dodgy looking men kitted out in commando gear.
One tall lanky streak of p#*s, hates a cider!
One short fat dumpy bloke speaks a bit funny.
Seen sneaking into back gardens robbing out of rabbit hutches!
If you see or hear anything suspicious please get in contact with Davenham Sports Club extension - Poaching Club, Any evidence to convict these retired arrow chuckers will receive a small reward!!!
Hussey Looking smarter but still complaining hes cold (you fanny)
since when did i complain about it being cold? this was also mentioned in the fair play report from the previous round when i didnt complain about it, i feel that these comments are out of order and the video referee is going to have to take a look at the footage to prove me correct.
also good reports the duke and the butcher thanks for taking to time out of their busy days to post these reports.
i also would like to state here im against the use of wellies in any shape or form, they are an illegal piece of equipment and should not be allowed in our league and i suggest a complete banning of such accessories.
What an upset! The Barman was facing top seed The Bull, with The Barman was not just an underdog, he was an under-puppy!
If the ghosts of Montgomery and Rommel were sat up in heaven watching this battle, they would have been delighted at the tactics. It was like The Bulls Howitzers against the Somme-like attrition of The Barman.
On Radio 2 theyve got Shakespeare, but you couldnt beat this game for drama. With the game finely posed at 2-2, The Bull could have been compared to Long John Silver Badly in need of another leg!!!!!!! But it wasnt to be as some precision finishing on Lager Top, sorry Double Top from the Barman, meant that the point went to the Puller of Pints and The Bull left Udderly deflated at his first loss.
Theres only one word for that, Truly Magical Darts
One to Watch - The Fresh Prince
Had two games this week and although dropping a leg in each game, notched up two victories, finishingwith a 3 dart average of 45.9.
His first game was against the highly fancied (mostly by himself) Teas, who was dispatched 3-1. The Fresh Prince was quoting as saying afterwards that he really enjoyed beating Teas vigorously so early on in the night.. Any more quotes like that Dean and we may have to call in John Shep, the DVDC welfare officer.
His second game was against the out of form Butcher, who had been practicing for this game all week. The Fresh Prince was like DArtangan at the scissor factory, and it was not long before her cut the Butcher down to size beating him 3-1.
Name and shame list (subs owed) The Fresh Prince £2
Yorkie £1
Other Items
Had two complaints of Cartlidging this week. This will be brought up at the next disciplinary meeting. See you there Jay
Have received a number of compliments about the outfit worn by The Duke this week, and that it really fitted in with the Gentry Image. As such, wellies will now become standard footwear in the DVDC League
The following players came up short last week and in future will be fined
The Butcher - no wellies
Colin Murray no nickname
Hussey Looking smarter but still complaining hes cold (you fanny)
The Fresh Prince Flips Flops and his girlfriends jogging pants
The Guest (Mike Kouris) illegal darts. Please refer to rule 14, sub section 4c of the DVDC constitution, whereby the minimum weight for a dart must be at least 3 grams.
Fair Play league There have been some concerns as to the points awarded (or deducted) in this area. How can it be -3 for wearing wellies (they were good ones too with buckles on) and only -1 for wearing a Man Utd shirt!
Scorer
Can someone tell Fat Head, hes not needed any more as we now have an electronic scorer that even Compo can work! The Duke (P.D.C.) DVDC President, founder member and funniest guy I know
A big welcome to Colin Murray stepping in for control.
A fine showing on debut!!

Player of the Week - The Village Played well with no reward last week. This week he was against The Butcher, ranked 4th in the Club and it was never going to be an easy game. The expectation was that this clash was going to make King Kong versus Godzilla look like a chimpanzees tea party, and it didnt disappoint. Despite going 2-1 down, The Village turned it around with some steady finishing to take the spoils 3-2.
Theres only one word for that Magic Darts
One to Watch - The Manc Wasplayer of the week last week and with the form he showed on Wednesday night looks to be a genuine challenger to The Bull and The Fresh Prince (when hes allowed out) for the prestigious DVDC leagues trophy and cheque for £25000 (see Martin Bentley for details).
His game this week was against the Duke, who battered the Assassin the previous week 3-0 so was never going to be easy. As it turned out it was like taking a sausage from a boy in a wheelchair, with The Manc running out an easy 3-0 victor, placing him firmly at the top of the table
Name and shame list (subs owed) Pedroso £1
Other Items Dress Code
As mentioned in last weeks report, the dress code of some members is unacceptable. Our Governing body the PDC states that players must have a collar on their shirt, wear shoes, and no blue jeans/jogging pants/shorts.
The following players came up short last week and in future will be fined
Yorkie no collar
Hussey failed in every area and was wearing Clown Shoes
Teas trainers and jogging bottoms
The Butcher jeans
Scorer
Can someone please try and find a scorer for next week who does not have such a fat head. I could hardly see a thing. Thanks anyway Dave, you did a fantastic job and good to see you back at the club.

Darts cricket could also run alongside the 301 league. On the 2nd wednesday where most people will have played their fixture ( if their opponent isnt control or pedroso!!)
Im awaiting a classic photo from the duke on this forum !!!!
the duke, like the cricket doubles idea, will add another dimension and will strengthen the lead that darts is the heart and soul of the club and the real bread earner. i also think they might as well change this forum to the dvdc and change the website name as well, cause after all thats whats important, its just village otherwise.
Hi folks , A great first round of fixtures played under spotlight conditions. Well done to all who brought their entrance music. We need some more props from you fellows.
A big boooooooooo to control and pedroso for not fufilling their fixtures and leaving their opponents frustrated!!!
£ 1 match fee is going towards an end of season curry and presentations. Cheques can be made payable to Mr David Ashley or Willl Chambers will collect your cash!!!
The Village, are you turning up on Wednesday to be butchered or are you running scared????
A fair play league will be up in time for round 2 and remember

Player of the Week - The Manc Was fearless in his first round game and really bullied his opponent with some heavy scoring and superb finishing
One to Watch - The Village Had a tricky first game and was by no means disgraced. A few more darts the other side of the wire and it could of been anyones game. Good groupage and playing with a new set of arrows. Will only improve as the season goes on.
Name and shame list (subs owed) The Village £1 The Fresh Prince £1 Guest (Mike K) £1
Other Items Please remember the dress code. I will not mention who this weeks worst dressed player was (Luke Addision) but playing in flip flops, shorts and a hoodie is not acceptable in the PDC. If this gets reported we will be expelled from the PDC and have to join BDO which would just be village.
Hi Guys! This is the voice from beyond. If someone keeps me up to date with reults I will place in the website. Oh! and watch out for Dean Jackson - he cheats!
question, is the league providing enterance theme music, smoke for when we walk down the tunnel and a 'piece of eye candy' to escort us to the oche? or are players going to have to sort that themselves? also anybody any ideas for theme music, any suggestions will be welcome.
