CCC Darts Tournament




Just under a week ago several members of the CCC squad met to demonstrate their athletic versatility with a masterclass of darting prowess. As many expected, the final was contested between John 'I Wear a Fez' Pickersgill and Simon 'The Beast' Bevan. JP had already shown his abilities with a stunning 55 outshot (8, 15, double 16 - the way the professionals do it) to defeat Adam 'Trust Me' O'Callaghan in the quarter final, whilst The Beast had destroyed all who dared to stand in his way with his unique javelin throw action. In the end, JP edged a thrilling final to take home the trophy and the title of 'CCC Darts Champion'. Here's the results from the night:

Many congratulations to JP! Years of hitting the doubles certainly paid off.

At the beginning of the evening, people sitting adjacent to the oche were running for cover in case he produced an arrowed version of The Shot. By the end of the evening, he was hitting his out-shot at will.

Great night - well done the Social Secs.
