Wednesday the 12th Novembr saw the first "Open Darts" knock out at the Three W's Internett bar in San Stephanos.
19 players entered the competition and came from Pagi,Magoulades,Arillas,Afionas and Kavadaddes to enter. I think someone also made the trip from Roda.
After the draw was made, and down to the last 16, yours truly was drawn against Krisanthios, owner of the Three W's.
What could I do? --- Scores of 132 / 95 / 85 / 90 and a 220 point lead were not enough. Kept missing the double! - He hit the double first.
The semi finals saw 2 English players vs 2 Greek players and the Final saw Mick, from Magoulades against my Greek neighbour Makis.
( For those of you here this year you may remember Mick as he was the guy looking after the boat rental at Arillas )
The experience of Mick took him home for a 2-0 win. Makis will be back with a vengeance soon though as he hadn't picked up a dart for 12 months.
( He is currently practising as I type )

Last night saw the first N.O.K.O ( Night Owl Darts Knock Out ) The biggest bummer was that, I am laid up with "man flu" and didn't get there.
I'm told it was a very good night and the Winner was Dimitris from the Rainbow Bar, who took the scalp of Afionas neighbour, Bob, on the way.
English / Greek Final - And won by a Greek. - How good is that!
A very good turn out and I'm really p****d I wasn't there. But who wants my germs?
So congrats to Dimitris, but also bear in mind that Alexandra can beat him quite well.
( If she didn't have school next morning and was there .... who knows )
One lady, who was there. was Hilary from the Corfiot news who has promised to do a little write up for the next mag.

So all going quite well. Tria Adelphia will have a dart board up and running for next summer and Coconut are considering the same. I think more Greeks are becoming interested in the game I'd love to organise a "Home n Away" between Tria and Rainbow guests next summer but it's early days yet.

So , next K/O is Three W's on Thursday 27th Nov. Can we get Mick there as current holder and also Dimitris as Night Owl winner together on the same night?
Watch this space y'all
Cheers
