Derby match

Last night we played against our other team, for the first time ever in a competitive league match, Our team deprived of our captain and a few other players where massive underdogs.With only 3 recognized dart players in a team of 6, a victory looked unlikely.

The first team game we got hammered, they went out with us left on 323. was this the 7-0 drubbing that everyone expected?

The second we started off well, i threw 56 to start followed by 140,100,123, and then went out on 4 . the third was a real snatch, they left madhouse- double one, and slowly but surely clawed back ,again me hitting double 2 to bring it to 2-1. The underdogs where winning. The impossible seemed possible.My average for the team game was an amazing 104-53 the first time ever i had smashed the 100 average, having 15 throws, and 12 being a ton or more

As acting captain i had the huge task of selecting the trebles, do i split our 3 darters, and go for two wins, and win the game? do i go top heavy, and grind out a win.
So thats what i done, played the first trebles with our three best players. and it worked, i started, and it was the perfect start, a 180 then followed by a 85, then another 100 and then 60 and out, 3-1 and the dream was on.

The next trebles was our "non darters" and after them leaving madhouse again and some flukey darts, we needed double 9 for victory , we hit it first dart. We had won, a monumental  achievement, against all the odds

For the singles i played theyre best player, and it was a great game started with scores of 100-85-99-and 40 but with him hit 125-125-100-41 and taking out 100 fully deserving it,

Overall we won 4-3 we had done it , and my average was over 100 for the first time, really starting to get the bite back for darts, roll on tonight. What would you have done in the trebles? gone top heavy or split? would love your ideas
