Annual Darts Tournament
Recognising the value of high levels of physical fitness in the workforce, Shield recently hosted it's Annual Darts Tournament at the Pilgrim Pub.
The competitors were:
Peter “The Count” Cushing, Brian “Carry On” Jeeves, J.J “Night” Schade, David “Sugar” Kain, Nelson “Late-Night” Cruse, Richard “Rapier” Wittstock, Biff “Lost My” Way, Tony “Beehive” Barnett
The tournament commenced at 19:30 with J.J beating Biff and scoring the only 140 of the night in the process. David Kain beat Richard and gained a place in the semi finals. Tony Barnett was unfortunately rusty but nevertheless showed why he was a previous champion with flashes of greatness, eventually though the lack of practice was his undoing. J.J lost in his second match to Brian leaving a grand final between Brian and “The Count”.
An unnerving game to watch as both contenders were determined to be victorious. However, it was Brian Jeeves who narrowly beat Peter with a final score of 2-1. So at the night’s end the winner was Brian Jeeves with Peter Cushing as runner up
The raffle supporting Karl Maguire for the London Marathon was also drawn on the night. Two drinks hampers were raffled. 39 tickets were sold in total raising £78. Thanks to those who supported Karl. The first hamper was won by Bruce Palmer of HQ mobile inspectorate and the second won by Tony Barnett.
If you missed the tournament and fancy your chances on the ocky look out for announcements on this website for the next event or register your interest with ‘The Count’.
Thanks to those who made the effort to support and make the night a success. To those who were unable to be present I hope we shall see you next year.
Thanks also go to Chris at the Pilgrim for supporting the event and supplying the highly valued catering.
