Presentation Night! A really disappointing turn-out, with so many wanting the night to be on a Friday instead of a Thursday, there were less than 50 people in the hall!  Many teams didn't even bother to send at least one represenative to pick up trophies, especially Writtle SSC & Nag's Head who had team trophies to pick-up as well as competition trophies & medals... The raffle was well supported by those present, but we still made a loss mainly due to lack of numbers, therefore the 2016/17 winter & summer season's finance's lost £50.37... Many thanks to Pete Shea & Adam Miller who sold raffle tickets, to Sue Kateley for folding the tickets & conducting the draw; also thanks to the committe members who helped set-out the trophies (Jordan), set-up the oche's (Senan) and conduced the draw for the Blind Draw Pairs (Matt)... There were some interesting pairings, and Jason Bates & Alan Green were the winners with Bob Elliott & Olly Nye the runners-up... Click here for results... Although I'm around for another season and next September / October will be my last hosting the presentation night, you need to decided on what you want in the future, because there were so many trophies & medals that players didn't really want, but when I gave every team secretary & captain the chance to cancel 5-weeks prior to presentation, no-one except BMS Eagles and Fox & Hounds replied to my e-mail; therefore I had no choice other than to purchase all trophies... If you don't want trophies, or in fact, if you don't want a presentation night then you need to let the committee know; at the AGM, everyone was up for a blind draw pairs competition & a Friday night, last night didn't prove this!  The actual time to set-up was 75 minutes, when we got the cupboard key & the presentation itself only took 30 minutes... It should be a night of celebration and a chance to all get together and have a laugh !

Whitbread Rosebowl: With only 5-females from the 17 who could of played turning up, it was a quick competition with Pauline Donat (Bentley Allstars) beating Chris Boret (Fox & Hounds) 3-1 to retain the title... Honeyball Cup: 21 from the 28 qualifiers fought out for the title, and the first round threw-up an interesting fact, the first name out of the draw was Derek Lodge (Writtle SSC), whose has won this Cup more than any other player, x4 (last one being in 1997), and the current holder Craig Vickers; however neither added their names to the history this season. This seasons final was possibly the best ever in quality & drama; as Robert Donat (Bentley Allstars) started with a 180 and the Andrew Kateley (Chelmsford SC) finished the 5th-leg with a 161 checkout (12-dart leg) to win the title 3-2 and  the first time Andy's won this competition, every leg was spellbinding and the ton count must of exceeded any Taylor/Van Gerwin match, it was quality, worthy of being on the telly. The losing semi-finalists were David Drummond (Fox & Hounds) and Craig Vickers. Rob Donat hit two 180's in total, there was also maximum's from Craig Vickers, Sean Sargeant, Andy Kateley; a 14-dart leg from Senan Corry and Craig also checked out on 111... Only one downside to the planned evening, 1 player turned up for the Governors (Landlords) Cup, and although I've threatened over the past 3 seasons, if not supported it will go, it's now gone; Derek Lodge has holder will be the keeper of the Cup until it's required again in the future!...

WINTER 2013/2014

Inter-League vs Wickford & District:
The Mall Club, Basildon played host to this annual Challenge match, and despite the IDDL being let down by a few players; our 22 put up a good show in a good quality match in general. IDDL got off to a good start winning the 1st set of two Singles & a pair 2-1, with Matt Garrett winning his single, scoring a 180 & finishing on 100; Rob Tinsley & Martin Compton our pairs winners. We than lost the next set 3-0; then the next set 1-2 with Rhys Hayden our singles winner; We then won the 4th set 2-1, winning both singles from Des Vickers and Sam Lepley, but again we lost the pairs; the next set of games we also won 2-1, with Alan Carrington winning his single and Bob Elliott & Ashley Smith the pairs. At the halfway mark Wickford led 8-7. We didn't start the 2nd half at all well, losing the set of games 3-0 and the next set 1-2, with only Robert Tinsley winning 2-0; another 1-2 losing set of games with Martin Compton our singles winner, also scoring a 180 and Ashley Smith lost-out 2-1 with a 126 on the bull checkout for his winning leg; At this stage we found ourselves 15-9 down having to win all the remaining 6 games to earn a draw, however this wasn't to be, but we were unlucky, as Mel Sylvester won and Tony Buckley & Lewis Hayes won their pair, however Charlie Preston lost out to Wickford's top player Ritchie Edhouse 2-1, which gave Wickford victory. In the final set of games, Stephen Hack won, Adam Doe lost out and the story of the night was sumed up in the final pair, this being missed doubles, as Rhys & Sam outscored their opponents but couldn't hit those elusive doubles. Many thanks to all those who turned up and played, plus a few supporters; Congratulations to Wickford on their win, and although I ribbed their new Captain, Dave O'Meara alnight, he and the committee at Wickford deserve a big thank you for another great night of darts. Next year will be our turn to host, so looking forward to that already...

NOVELTY BOARD CHARITY NIGHT
Not the most successful night, as the attendance was piss poor; thanks to the Bentley Allstars, Chelmsford Social Club & Douglas White for attending... We still had a good laugh, but this will probably end all future charity nights, including this season's Terri Warwick & Reg Atkins unless I get a good response from the entry forms given out prior to the competitions; and almost certainly the Christmas Charity Bullseye KO will be cancelled unless I get a positive feedback over the next few weeks via e-mail from teams! However the event went ahead, and we made a grand total of £13 for charity! See attached table for results... RESULTS

WINTER 2012/2013 Below

Winter League Week 31 - Secretaries 25th Anniversary Competitions - Only 8 full teams attended my 25th Anniversary competition, which was disappointing, as I'd asked teams to let me know if they couldn't field a team, and only Galleywood, Hornets & Cockles let me know prior to the night, that they were unavailable to play. However, a revamped competition took place & due to the in-balance of divisional representation, I decided to make the main competition divisional.  A blind-draw took place to select five teams of five for the division 1 knockout; and Team Three (Steve Johnson, Rob Adams, Harry Smith, Alec Dolder & Simon Love) won the competitiion with a 4-2 win over Team Four (Peter Wiffen, Rhys Hayden, Mel Sylvester, Steve Boret & Aaron Horne). Steve Johnson & Rhys Hayden both scored 180's during the competition.. The division 2 competition was Blind Draw Teams of four players, and Team 69ers (Peter Doherty, Dawn Hogan, Matt Garrett & Sarah Young) won the final 4-1 against Team Legs Eleven (Tom Hyde, Douglas White, Jason Bates & Chris Boret). In the extra Competitions for players not playing in the final of the main, saw the Black Bull Hammers beat the Blue Lion 2-0 and Stocks Bar beat Bentley Allstars 2-0... Full Results

Full Result...

Winter League Week 28 - Inter-League Charity Challenge vs Wickford & District - A great night of darts with both team slogging it out on the oche with the scores going one-way then the other.  Ingatestone lost the opening 3 sets, and only Steve Johnson won his singles in the next set of 3, therefore 1-5 down early doors; John Costigan won the next single, John Wastenage lost out 1-2 but scored a maximum, and Craig & Des Vickers won our first pair of the night; Andy Kateley won 2-0 and Stefan Devenish/Sam Hayden won 2-0 in the pairs, Robert Donat was unlucky to lose out 1-2; Wickford still led 7-5 at this point.  Blue Lion's youngesters, George Cove & Rhys Hayden both pulled off 2-0 wins and the Royal Oak pairing of Simon Love & Clinton Horne also won 2-0 to give Ingatestone the lead for the first time, 8-7; Peter Wiffen lost out 1-2, Charlie Preston won 2-0, and Mark Careless & Pauline Donat were unlucky to lose out 1-2 in the pairs, Mark checking out with 146, the highest finish of the match; this left the scores level at 9-9 at the break for food.   Craig Vickers and the pairing of Steve Johnson (180) & Martin Compton gave Ingatestone a 11-10 led after the next 3-sets; and with us winning the next two singles by Matt Garrett and Richard Howson (180), and Andy Kateley & Senan Corry winning the pairs gave us a 14-10 lead; John Costigan & John Wastenage won the pairs to unsure we couldn't lose the match; it took George Cove and Rhys Hayden in the last pairs of the night to secure the win and Senan Corry won the last single to give the final result of 17-13 in Ingatestone's favour.  Wickford as usual gave us a tough test and produced some top darts, and the players deserve praise for their sportsmanship and we look forward to the return match at either Rayleigh Lanes or Mall Club next April.  Well done to all players that took part...

Winter League Week 25 - Alfred Candler Memorial Cup - A lower than normal entry this year, possibly because the fixture was changed and it was the day before Good Friday; however 38 players did turn-up and a high quality standard of darts was thrown; with 20 180's recorded and a few high checkouts, Peter Weller's 120 being the highest, and Andy Kateley's 14-dart leg against me being the shortest leg. In Group 1, winning through to the final was Andrew Kateley who beat Kevin Stammers, Mel Sylvester, Sam Lepley and Harry Smith. In Group 2, Rhys Hayden beat Aaron Horne, George Cove, Peter Weller and last years champion John Costigan. Most stayed to watch a great final with Andy taking the opening leg with a 100 checkout, this drove Rhys into action as he won the next 3-legs which included a maximum to win the title. Full Results... Ron Wood Memorial Cup -
Unfortunately, only 2-players turned up for this competition, and with 15 female registered players in the league, this is a real disappointment, and has probably killed off the ladies only knockout. Lorraine Hudson beat Lynne Wood in a best of 5 play-off.

 2011/12 Winter League Below

Winter League Week 30
Reg Atkins Memorial Competition - Go To the Reg Atkins Page for All Results
A superb fun night of speed darts or in some cases, a sensible steady pace, not me, mental as usual... 27 players endured the 16 minutes of pain to score as many points as possible... Top score on Champions Choice board was 1,993 by Craig Vickers (Chelmer Chieftains); on the Five's board it was 2,210 from Robert Donat (Bentley Allstars); the not so popular Yorkshire board was 1,558 from Paul Barham (Railway Hotel); and my favourite, the Quadro board 1,932 from Keith Petrie (Railway Hotel) of which 1,012 point were from hitting 18 quad's... With all the scores totted up it was Craig Vickers with 7,223 points who took the title, joint runner-up were Ben Armstrong (Fox & Hounds) and Robert Donat; with Dan Driscoll (Cockles) and Steve Johnson (Cockles) completing the top 5... There were only 4 maximums hit, Steve Boret (Fox & Hounds) hit two, one on the Champions Choice and one on the Five's; Simon Pratt (Railway Hotel) on the Champions Choice and Steve Johnson on the Quadro board...

Winter League Week 29

Winter League Week 28
Honeyball Cup: 14 of the 15 qualifiers turned up for this short format knockout. The final was a great advert for darts as Craig Vickers (Chieftains) went toe to toe with Steve Johnson (Cockles), Craig scoring a 180 to open the final and checking out in 15-darts; Steve took the 2nd leg in 14-darts, then in the deciding leg Steve had a chance to win in 14-darts, and Craig in 15-darts; however it was Steve in 17-darts to win the cup... The losing semi-finalists were Martin Compton (Hammers) and Andy Kateley (CSC B)... Rob Donat hit a 177 and Steve checked out on 130 in the preliminary round...

Winter League Week 27
Charity Inter-League Challenge Match vs Wickford & District
A great turn-out by both league's at the Mall Club, Basildon and proved to be a superb night of enthralling darts... Wickford had nearly 40 players who turned up and played 35 of them; Ingatestone had 23 of the named squad and reserves turn-out and all played! There was also many supporters from both league's which made the atmosphere electric! It was Ingatestone who took a 2-1 early lead with both Cockles, Steve Johnson & Grant Hammond, winning their singles, Steve scoring a 180, however our pair of John Wastenage & Peter Wiffen lost out;  Wickford won the next 4-singles, Harry Smith the only IDDL player to win a leg, Mel Sylvester did hit a 177, but Simon Love was put to the sword in the opening leg against Simon Ramage, who had a 12-dart leg including a 151 checkout... The two pairs was shared with John Costigan & Jason Geraghty losing 2-1, despite John's 180, and the Cherry Tree pairing of Steve Whittam & Vic Celiz got our first pair win... Martin Compton won his single 2-1 with a ton finish, but Andy Kateley was unlucky as he lost out, having 15-darts wiring doubles to win; Johnson & Hammond won their pairs game... the next 2-singles and pair all went to Wickford giving them a 10-5 lead at the halfway point; Ron Card did score two 180's in the pairs...  Ingatestone started a small recovery winning a single with Alan Carrington taking out 120, and Harry Smith & Matt Doe won the pairs... We lost the next 2-singles, but the Martins brothers, Jason & Adrian, won their pair 2-0 in a clinical manor... Steve Whittam played superb winning his 2-leg in 14-darts and John Wastenage also won his singles, and with Compton & Kateley winning their pairs, we closed the score line to 13-11... Next up were the Cock Tavern's John Costigan and Jason Geraghty who both won their singles, but unfortunately Sylvester & Corry lost out in the pairs... Therefore going into the final set of three games, Ingatestone trailed 14-13... IDDL lost the final pair 2-0, but both Matt Doe and Senan Corry won their opening legs, so a draw was possible and looked at this point, favourable; however Wickford had other ideas as Mark Derby came back well and took out a 152 finish to beat Senan and win the match for Wickford, as Matt also lost out 2-1... A fantastic game of darts against a brilliant set of players and officials, going all the way to those last 3 sets, therefore congratulations to Wickford on their 17-13 victory... Well done to all who took part, and the supporters who witnessed a great night of darts! Unlucky to Matt who captained the side with his heart on his sleeve as usual... See Result Sheet

Winter League Week 26
Alfred Candler Memorial Cup As usual a great competition, unfortunately 21 entries failed to turn-up, causing a few byes through to round 1... There were some great early matches that saw some strong players eliminated... winning through to the final was last years runner-up, Craig Vickers (Chieftains) who beat John Hansell, Mel Sylvester, Keith Griffith and holder Andrew Kateley on-route... Craig's opponent in the final was Cock Tavern's John Costigan who beat Olly Nye, Matt Doe, Bob Elliott, Steve Johnson and Paul Harrison... In the final, John took the opening leg for Craig to draw level. A nervy 3rd leg was edged by John, and John won the title winning a cracking 4th leg, 3-1... There were 16 Maximum's hit during the competition: John Costigan and John Hansell both hit 2; Alan Carrington, Grant Hammond, Harry Smith, Paul Harrison, Mel Sylvester, Keith Griffiths, Craig Vickers, Dan Bird and Andrew Kateley all score one; Peter Cable a 177; Peter Weller a 174 and Jason Geraghty a 171... Andrew Kateley had a 149 checkout in the semi-final; Mel Sylvester a 148 in the preliminary round, and there was a 104 finish for Dave Kelly and a 100 for Harry Smith... The were a few 14, 15 & 16 dart legs that weren't recorded; however three 15-dart legs were, and came from Harry Smith, Keith Griffiths and Craig Vickers...
Ron Wood Memorial Cup To make a night of it, we decided to play a round robin, which turned out a 3-way tie, with Lorraine Hudson, Lynne Wood and Chris Boret all finishing with Four Points, the unlucky Sarah Young being knockout out; Lorraine scored two 180's in her games... Although unsatisfactory, and understandably the girl's weren't happy, but it was necessary, for the three ladies to play-off again in another round robin... This time Lorraine won both games against Lynne and Chris to retain her title and Chris beat Lynne to finish runner-up...
With 5 ladies entering and with only 4 turning up, this competition has seriously got to be looked as if it has a future; there are less ladies now playing in the league, and certainly even fewer entering competitions. This also goes for the Whitbread Rosebowl which has only 4 entered currently and the Terri Warwick Memorial, which currently does not have enough players to run on May 3rd; and also the Mixed Triples & Mixed Pairs coming up during the summer must also be at risk!

The £1,100 was made up of a donation from the Brentwood league, the Cherry Tree B (from BBDDL), plus donations from Lorraine Hudson, Alan Carrington, Steve & Chris Boret who all donated their trophy monies, plus the match vs Wickford and the Reg Atkins Competition, and the competition entries.

The Independents being Mark, Kevin and Danielle Tebbutt took the Team title with 5,574 average points.
