Fuck me, that was just about the maddest weekend of my life, highly recommended. Where else in the world would someone behind you shout "Tellytubby get the balloon" with it making complete sense! My bets on Smith and Lennon didn't pay off but Lennon got a nice run into the quarter finals - much further than the 500/1 odds suggested and taking a leg off van Grewen against the throw ought to do his confidence some good. Anywaysanall I landed a tenner four fold on Saturday afternoon (G Clemmons 6/4, R Evans 11/8, S Burton 9/4 and S Lennon 1/1) collecting £385 after one hell of a sweat watching both Lennon and Reyes miss dart after dart to settle the last game - I didn't even pull the pretty girl on the Ladbrokes counter up on leaving me 94p short, just thought to my drunken self, fuck it let 'em have it!
Fair play to Gurney, he found his way to "centre stage" to celebrate with the fans well into the early hours of Monday morning... as did Dancing Dimitri, winner of the youth championship. I think I'll be in recovery for a month!
