CUXTON DART REPORT
28th of October 2025
Cuxton 6 - Bricklayers 7
The singles started strong for us. Pep opened the night with steady hands and sharp finishing, setting the tone early. Nick followed, full of focus and fire, the crowd erupted when he nailed a perfect 180, the sound of the darts snapping into the board echoing like a drumbeat of confidence. Pete and Dave kept the momentum rolling, each grinding out tough wins to put us 4–2 up. Spirits were high; it felt like our night.
Then came the pairs. The mood shifted, a few near misses, a few doubles that just wouldn’t land. Still, Pep and Pete held their nerve, cool as ever, and took their game with a calm efficiency that steadied us. The others fought hard but couldn’t quite close it out, and the pairs ended 2–1 against us.
Heading into the trebles, tension hung in the air. Nick, Dave, and Chris stepped up, their chemistry clear from the first throw. Precision, communication, and a touch of luck saw them pull off a tight win, leaving the trebles tied 1–1. We were still in front overall, 6–5 going into the final showdown.
And then came the team game. We’ve been here before, the pressure, the noise, the weight of expectation. Every dart felt heavier than the last. Despite flashes of brilliance, the doubles wouldn’t come, and the match slipped away. When that final dart missed its mark, the air went out of the room. Gutted doesn’t quite cover it, we could almost taste victory, but it wasn’t to be.
Still, a night of great darts, big moments, and plenty to build on. On another night, that team game goes our way. There is no game next week, but the week after November ?? we are away????
