Darts League Week 1 vs Martinis


Score after round 1:
Martinis 8 Club Car 8

Score after round 2:
Martinis 17 Club Car 17

Score after round 3:
Martinis 26 Club Car 17

I think there are a lot of positives that we can take out of week 1. Martinis is consistently one of the best 3 teams in the league, whereas we finished around 14th last fall. We went on the road (the matches were at Martinis) and proved we can hang with those guys for pretty much the entire match. In fact, if a few darts would have landed a couple centimeters to the right or left in those last two games, we could have come out of there with a victory. Even without the win, that kind of effort probably raised some eyebrows around the league.

Special props to Ryan Murray, who, with his steady dentist's hand, had an exceptionally successful debut performance. His three consecutive bulls-eyes to win a crucial team game were especially impressive.

Our captain Brad claimed that "we found a lot more answers than questions tonight."

I agree. This team has got nothing but upside. Iowa City Fall Darts League Beware.
