"" Biiigggg Kokalo Kock-up """

Kokalo’s  game plan was to Konquer Night Owl, in their Wednesday night Klash, but instead ended up with a 10-1 Kicking and Krash down from that top branch. A match that took around 2 ½ hours to complete saw a very on form Owl taking no prisoners Killing 19 scores of 100+. Dimitris & Makis taking 7 each & 5 to Nickos.  Those wise old Owls now sit comfortably in that “Top of the Tree House” Doors and windows firmly closed.

No margin for error now in the battle for the runners up spot. Sunset’s 10-1 win over Meerkats moves them into 2nd on 69 points, now 3 points clear of Kokalo. Bad Boys took a 9-2 win over Petros’s Owlettes and this, plus their 10-1 win last week, also gives them a mean chance on 62 points

Three W’s, meanwhile may regret their delay in agreeing Night Owl’s dates for the re-arranging of their outstanding games. Their win over Armourada by 7-4 gives them 62 points. Night Owl do not need the points so these matches,for them, are without pressure. Three W’s just might need a few extra points to sneak into 2nd.

Points

Night Owl – 72 . Sunset – 69 , Kokalo – 66 , Bad Boys – 62 , Three W’s – 62 , Armourada – 41 ,
Meerkats – 24 , Petros’s Owlettes – 22.

Sunset vs Kokalo will be a must win match for both, next week!!!

Kevin

I thought I had posted the results of the Arillas Bench K/O ??
Hmmmm! - I copied and pasted it around the end October. I will check it out and try again. Maybe it is another "KOKALO" ?

" Ah , More points for Ar-mour - They get ada to beat every week "

Armourada never go down without a fight, every Winter and every match. This week they netted  another 9 points, against Meerkats. They “hover” around the middle of the League table with 50 points.
Nice first singles wins here for Meerkats Nicki and Armourada’s Ann.

Meanwhile….Night Owl are building a “Granny Annex” alongside that Tree House and their 11-0 win over Petros’s Owlettes means they can soon invite the League Runners Up to stay for a while, as guests only.

KOKALO hope to holiday there after a fine 7-4 result over SUNSET. Both teams sit joint second on 73 points.
Sunset will be hoping that, next week, Petros’s Owlettes sharpen those talons and take points from Kokalo.
Kokalo, meanwhile will be cheering for Night Owl against Sunset.
(Another 10-1 ????)
But…Do not write off Bad Boys and Three W’s yet who both sit on 62 points with games in hand.

The ladies table “hots up” with Boneen (Kokalo) on 52 , Jean (Armour) on 42 ,and Maggie (Meerkats) on 41.
I have yet to receive the scoresheet for Meerkats vs Owlettes , where Meerkats notched up their first win with an 8-3 result. So Maggie’s percentage could be higher.

Kokalo’s Richard Gardner leads the 100+ merit table with 51 scores and Dimitris, Night Owl, chases with 33.

Best Pairs % is Dimitris and Paul , Night Owl on 5 from 5.

The Round Robin “Groups” look interesting. The league “Top 4” who head EACH GROUP are:-
Nickos (Owl) – 100% - (8 from 8 in singles)
Makis (Owl) – 91%
Richard (Kokalo) – 83%
Xrisanthos (Three W’s) – 82%

The Winners have already been decided , guys.
A super team and very laid back/ friendly with it.

But....... How about this...?

" Vassilis saves Meerkats brush-or is it tail "

At 7-0 down, against Three W’s, it was up to Vassilis to get a point on the board. He duly obliged with a 2-1 win over Yiorgos (W’s) Final result 10-1 to Three W’s who now look to be in the running for the League Runners up spot. Three W’s duo of Xrisanthos & Aris hold the unbeaten Pairs record of 7 wins from 7.

Sunset were “tanned” but not burnt in their clash with Night Owl. 26 scores of 100+ were shared by both Teams.Night Owl came out on top, with a hard earned 8-3 result. A consolation prize for Sunset was Andy taking the feathers of Owls Nickos 2-0 & ending Nickos’s super winning streak of 8 from 8.
Night Owl duo “Rainbows” Dimitris & Paul chase that top pairs spot with another win making 6 from 6.

Bad Boys, meanwhile were nearly punished by Armourada at 4-4 equal but then went into tantrum mode and won the last 3 games. Final result 7-4 to the “Boys”.

Current Points
Night Owl – 91 , Sunset – 76 . Kokalo – 73 , Three W’s – 72. Bad Boys – 69.
Armourada – 54 , Meerkats – 27 , Owlettes – 22.

Both Kokalo vs Owlettes & Three W’s vs Bad boys still to play. – Still a hard task to fill that 2nd place.

Ladies table leads Bonneen on 50 , Jean on 46 and Maggie on 37. – (1 result still waiting on Maggie)

Merit top is Kokalos Richard on 51 with Mick, Sunset, chasing on 37.

Only 180 so far is Owl’s Makis and a 160 out by Kokalos Richard, is still the shot to beat.

"" The following posting was somehow lost way before Christmas ""
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Arillas Bench Knock Out bought 10 x 2 men & 1 women Teams to the Sunset Bar at the end of October. An idea of Kevin G, who not only supplied the winners shield but a cash donation. Spiros who many of you saw at Kostas on the beach in the Summer, also matched Kevin's cash donation.

Played all on 1 night, as a Team K/O, the finalists were Maggie,Gordon and Gary (Armourada) vs Bob, Dimitris, and Alexandra (Owl-Rainbow) The Owl combination proved too strong and ran out the winners 3-1.

No one were losers on the night though, as all teams who failed to reach the final each received a free set of flights. The losing semi finalist Teams both received 15e. The Team runners up received 21e with the winners taking not only 45e. but the "On the Bench" sheild plus an individual award each.

Dimitris , Owl, hit the only 180 on the night and won an award for his Team.

A super night for all which would not have taken place but for Kevins idea plus donation and of course Spiros. Kostas was his uncle , DONCHYERKNOW?

Cheers Negg

Thanks for the report Neill, good to know that the Bench Knockout was supported so well in memory of Kostas.

Many, many thanks to Kevin for his generous donation, also to Spiros for his cash donation, Kostas was a lovely man who is remembered by lots of visitors to Arillas.

Well done to all who took part, everyone a winner. Thanks for all your hard work, because without you Eggy none of this enjoyment would have been possible.

Thanks to kev too, for making it possible. I am so glad Spiros has validated the whole thing. We all have such fond memories of Kostas, and I'm sure this is a very good way to remember him.

Lomg may it continue.

"" Owlettes and Meerkats may hold the key........"""

…………that unlocks the runners up spot in the 2013 NTS Winter darts league.

Three W’s currently challenge for 2nd after a fine 6-5 win over Kokalo. At 5-2 up Kokalo watched much needed points drift away. 5 points and a hangover may not be enough.
But… They bounced back to beat Petros and his Owlettes 11-0, so, Three W’s may need an 11-0 win over Owlettes, next week. Bad Boys, who this week beat Sunset 6-5, will also be after an 11-0 next week, against Night Owl???– Hmmm!! – Difficult as the Owl win average is 9 points per match.

Kokalo want 5 points to clinch runners up spot and play Meerkats, last game, next week. Can they handle this pressure?? – Will they all be drinking lemon tea???

Sunset will be looking for, at least, a 11-0 win over Armourada and hope that both Owlettes & Meerkats take valuable points away from Three W’s and Kokalo.

If Meerkats win 9-2 will it be drinks on Sunset??
Will Petros and his ladies show Xrisanthos and his boys where the doubles are??

Meanwhile, Night Owl, on 100 points, relax, in their “Tree Top House” and enjoy watching all suffer.

Points
Night Owl – 100 / Kokalo – 89 /Three W’s – 82 / Bad Boys – 82 / Sunset – 81 /Armourada – 56
Meerkats – 31 / Petro’s Owlettes – 29

It’s been a week of records broken and new ones made. Kokalo’s Negg & Richard ended the 7 from 7 unbeaten pairs run of Three W’s Xrisanthos & Aris. Richard added a 9 dart 301 to his 10 & 11 darter and sits on 62 scores of 100+ for the season. Three W’s, Yiorgos, hits the only 171 (3 xT19) this Winter League. Armourada’s Roger & Sharon ended the 7 from 7 unbeaten pairs run of Night Owl’s Dimitris & Paul whilst Armour’s Jean takes the scalp of “Rainbow Owl” Spiros, in her singles, taking her tally to 8 wins from 12, and a 50% success rate on legs played.  Best unbeaten pairs record now is Owl’s Nickos & Makis on 5 from 5. Owlettes got a little revenge, over a Meerkats first round defeat, by winning their return match 7-4. Vassilis for Meerkats gets his 2nd singles win, and first pairs win with Doug. New Greek Team, Bad Boys, are quite nice lads really and have played very well all Winter. As a Team, they have notched 102 of the 656 League 100+ totals hit so far.

The Round Robin Groups prove very interesting:-
Group 1 – Makis – Xrisanthos – Senan – Doug (Meerkats)
Group 2 – Dimitris (Owl) – Kostas Lefkimiatis – Petros – Jean
Group 3 – Mikalis – Mick – Kostas Fakiolas – Maggie
Group 4 – Richard – Andy – Neill – Sally.

Only 1 game left folks

Cheers
Negg

" POP makes Xris cross "

It was Petros’s Owlette Pam who stopped Capt Xrisanthos and his Three W’s Team from an 11-0 victory this week in the NTS League.

But……. As Kokalo won 9-2, against Meerkats, that 11-0 would not have been enough to take the runners up spot. It was a very nervous Kokalo who needed at least 5 points against Meerkats but made it, at a price.
That wise ole kat Brenda knocked Boneen of the top ladies spot, and Doug n Vasillis ended the 5 from 5 winning streak of Kokalos two Nickos. – Sacrifices have to be made!!

Sunset knew that an 11-0 may have kept the pressure on but, maybe, forgot that Armourada still have that “Armour”  that has protected them over the last 4 Winters.  “Veteran” Jean disposed of Gary 2-0 and Ann won her second singles at the expense of Dave. Jean n Gordon then followed uo with a pairs win. Final result 8-3 to Sunset. Jean finishes top of the ladies group with 9 wins from 13 singles. A super 69% average which many other league players would like to have.

Night Owl, meanwhile, bashed Bad Boys, by 9-2 with Nickos n Makis holding their unbeaten pairs record to 6 from 6.

Final Results after all League Games.
Night Owl – 109..Kokalo – 98..Three W’s – 92..Sunset – 89…Bad Boys – 84…Meerkats – 33..Owlettes - 30

The ROUND ROBIN invitation now looks interesting in the 4 groups.
Group A – Makis / Andy / Stathis / Doug Meerkats
Group B – Nickos / Kostas Fakiolas / Jean / Senan
Group C – Richard / Mikalis / Kostas Lefkimiatis / Maggie
Group D – Xrisanthos /Mick / Petros / Pam

All the above players are here by merit in as the top two, in each Team, with their singles wins. But……
…. a reminder here that any above  player can nominate another Team player to represent him/her.
However that “nominated player” will fill the same slot as the original player.

" They think it's all over! - 5 weeks and tis! "

The NTS Darts league is moving quickly to our Presentation Evening at Sunset Bar on the 13th April. Any of you Forum guys that may be in Arillas are welcome to attend. Please let me know by PM.

The K/O competitions are now taking shape. Our K/O’s only happen, thanks to, not only, you Forum pals but also to the continued generous support of our K/O sponsors.

The “Villa Linakis” 3 a-side Team K/O has now reached the final stage with Meerkats vs Sunset Bar.  Sunset Bar’s semi-final, vs Three W’s went to the last leg of the last game. At 3-0 up, with W’s only winning 1 leg from 7, Sunset seemed to be coasting, but 3W’s fought back.3-2 ,became 4-2 then 4-4.
 It was that last leg in the last singles game that clinched it for Sunset. – Pressure – or what?
Meerkats have a good league record against Sunset, taking 4 points from them at the start of the Winter Season. With a 501 format in the Team event and the best of 9 games this could be a cracker!

The “Jinksy Duo” 301 mixed pairs has also now reached the finals stage. Negg & Owlettes Sally will meet the might of Sunset’s Mick and Fiona. Negg offers grateful thanks here to Sally for hitting the doubles he couldn’t. Red Dragon Darts also support this K/O with a darts voucher for the winners

Next Tuesday is the “Chinatown” 301 singles K/O with 24 entries. Chinatown is a super Chinese restaurant which keeps all happy, in the Winter, when we yearn for sweet n sours , sizzling beef etc.

Wednesday is the Ladies singles K/O with extra prizes of meat vouchers by a local butcher.

The “Villa Theia” Round Robin brings together the 2 nominated players from each team who chase this elite award. Xrisanthos (3 W’s) has won this the last 2 Seasons...He’s back! Will he retain it?

The “Rainbow-Anemos” 501 pairs K/O happens on the 27th March and not forgetting the “Arilliac Super Singles” which is scheduled for the 2nd April.
(26 entries for this one.)
Dimitris, Rainbow, is ready for all you dart players in the Summer. Spiros,Anemos, unfortunately will be cooking at Afionas. His darts are great – His cooking is better!

“Dawns Delights” sponsor the best lady player and top of the 100+ table plus the Number 1 in the league singles. Many of you know Dawn. She supplies meals and cakes for various Villas around North Corfu. Night Owl support the league again with awards for 180’s scored, highest shot out, and best pairs. Night Owl will welcome all this Summer and Nickos can show you all those new 2013 awards! (In between cooking a meal or two)

Can I repeat, it is down to all the generous support we receive which helps fund these competitions.
It’s good for those who take part and good for those Tavernas that host them.

Well done, you lot.

Negg
