NIGHT OWL FUN NIGHTS ARE HERE
After a fab winter playing fun darts matches at Oscars, Hovoli, Matts, and home and after plenty litres of tsipouro and beer drunk; lots of curry eaten, Night Owl returns to his nest to meet Owlettes for a mixed pairs celebration competition with lots of food, retsina, tsipouro and fun. Partners were drawn out of the hat and from the first round strong battles commenced.
Dimitris (Rainbow) /Sally vs Nick (Night Owl)/Penelope (Captain Bob’s little Penny).
Let’s play darts. Dimi wins the bull. Throws first. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY. What a start. After 5 throws 170 left for Dimi. 60-20-60. What a disappointment. (And he doesn’t have any hair to pull.) First leg goes to Dimi and Sally. Nick looked worried. 2nd leg starts. Nick – 100, Dimi -100 and they continue. 144 left for Dimi. 60-54 miss D15. Only once. Next throw straight in and Nick straight out to his kitchen to cook some spicy chicken wings and Penelope straight to the hug of Captain Borelli.
2nd match. Spiros (Anemos)/Linda (Owlette) vs Makis (The tsipouro man)/Chilly Peppery Saucy Candy.
Game starts with a very hot Linda. Very, very hot. Scores 105, 134, 85. What a performance. 32 left for Linda. D8, D8. Silence …and then screaming. Nick hasn’t heard her scream ….. so loud before.!!!!! Linda’s screaming has woken tsipouro Makis out of his winter hibernation (scoring 26’s) and with 140-100-135 helped his partner to win the second leg. 3rd leg, point to point, Candy and Linda breast to breast. 97 left for Candy ,who leaves tops… for her partner. Spiros misses 32 and Makis really excited with Candy’s tops …finds it and sends Linda running to the kitchen to finish her special pizzas.
3rd match Captain Bob/Pam vs Gary (Villa Theia) and the Sweet cake lady Dawn.
Gary is on form 140-100, Dawn follows him and first leg goes to Gary and Dawn. Captain Bob looks at his partner and tells her: eh eh Pam, what are they doing??? I am the captain here. I’m suppose to win. So he takes his weapons and clears the second leg. Decider1-1. Point to point and the decider goes to the double. The experience of Captain Bob gives them the win and gets Dawn busy thinking how she is going to make a D2 cake she misses.
4th match Ann (Makis M.I.L –Makes Incontrollable Laughter) partners toy boy Petros Night Owl (I think that draw was fixed) vs Big Doug and Spiros Night Owl who was called up from his lessons due to the degradable absence of Roger’s Ann. Doug’s and Spiros’ hundreds give them the advantage and they take the first leg. Second leg is different. Spiros and Doug lost their doubles and Petros, the toy boy, D7 first dart .1-1. Another decider. Doug and Spiros look each other, sharpen their points, clean their glasses, and after a good performance took 3rd leg. All close matches.
SEMI FINALS
Dimi Rainbow/Sally vs Makis/Candy. Would it be easy for Dimi and Sally? NO. Makis has already drunk 2 bottles of retsina. Board looks bigger for him .The doubles look bigger too. With a 86 out wins the first leg. Dimi and Sally haven’t said their last words and with Dimis’ calamariiis and Sally to finish they take 2nd leg. Another decider. Another derby. Both teams go to the double and this time it was Candy with a D14 finish to give her team the win.
Bob/Pam vs Doug/Spiros. Some said this could be the final, but it is only the semi. Only one stays alive. After a really good game, the quality play of Spiros and Doug gives them a 2-0 win .
FINAL –David vs Goliath. Makis (retsina man for tonight) and spicy Candy vs Doug Reason and Spiros Night Owl. Is history to be repeated? Game starts. Makis is on the 3rd bottle of retsina. Trebles looks enormous now, and 140-100-100 follow, misses 32 but only the first time. One leg to David, battle still on and Goliath shows his strength on the 2nd leg and they easily make it 1-1. Decider again. One leg, one trophy. Game starts, 125- Makis. Spiros follows, 125 too (whatever you do Makis, I can do it better Spiros said). Doug -100, Candy - 76. Makis – 100, close game. Both teams go to their doubles. Pressure is on. Doug misses it. Candy misses it. Spiros misses it. Retsina drunk man straight in, David wins again.
What a brilliant night, what a brilliant winter without taking part in a darts League. All Night Owl and Owlettes want to say hello to Paul Sawyer who moved back to UK. Everybody misses our secret weapon, but don’t worry Paul, Gary (Villa Theia took your place. He is really good at drinking beers and he has been trained how to make the Night Owl stomach dancing. Nobody mentions his darts skills.
Night Owl had a brilliant winter playing fun friendly and competitive darts. Hope everybody has a lovely summer. Dimi Rainbow and Nick Night Owl always wait for you for a game, show you where calamari is on the board. Spiros Anemos waits to show you a calamari meze with nice view of Arillas. Captain Bob will be cruising from bar to bar with his Penelope. Gary Villa Theia will be cutting grass with his refreshment beer in the other hand and me, the tsipouro man, will hopefully be at the airport for your safe landing and take off. Yammas.
