Fort DT Victorious at Mutley Friendly League 2007 Finals Night!
The 29th of October was a night of much tension but an equal, if not bigger dollop of fun which turned out to be a pretty much two horse race between the Fortescue and Raffles B.

Fort doubles pairs Craig & Rich were drawn against fellow team mates Johnboy and Old Grey Warrior for the Mens Doubles semifinals. The match saw Craig and Rich go through to a final against the Raffles B pairing of Mark Sargeant and Dennis, but not without Old Grey Warrior scoring a late ton eighty along the way! Mark Sargent also claimed a place in the Mens Singles final by beating Craig in the semis.

Next up was the Ladies Singles finals where cool Raffles B Robertta narrowly beat Ann from Raffles A. Keeping up the glory for Raffles B, Mark Sargeant then beat Dave from the Con Club in the singles final, but it was the Fort's turn again when Craig & Rich beat Mark & Dennis in a breathless Doubles final!

It was then the turn of Fort Manager and darts team player, Steve to take the microphone and award the season's trophies with the assistance of the delightful Lin from Raffles B.

The first award was presented by Raffles proprietor Phil to Iris (of feathered dart flights fame) from Raffles A for Personifying the Spirit of the Friendly League. Craig and Debs from the Con Club then received their trophies for winning the Hotshots earlier in the season. A whole host of medals were awarded for ton eighties scored not least to Craig and newly victorious Old Grey Warrior from the Fort. Not to be outdone, Mark Sargeant also received a ton eighty medal and a trophy for scoring the most tons of the season & the highest check out (154)!
 

After awarding cups to Robertta for the Ladies Singles, Sarg for the Men's Singles and Craig and Rich for the Doubles Finals, it was time for Steve to announce the winners of the cup for the Friendliest Team. There had been a tie in the inter-team voting which resulted in the cup being shared by The Belgrave (aka the Fortescue Quitters) and the Mutley Tavern (now the Fortescue Taverners).

It was now time for Steve to hand the League Cup over to Mark Sargeant from Raffles B for their victory ahainst the Fort the previous week. After Raffles B's noisy jubilation had died down, Steve gave out the final award of the night: the League Trophy to the Fortescue! Happy days!

Venue Changes
After the sad closure of the Mutley Tavern earlier this year, the Mutley Tavern Darts team have decided to use the Fortescue as their home board. They have decided to be renamed the Fortescue Taverners. We wish them every luck in the forthcoming new league.

Raffles B, formerly the Clifton, have now moved to the Friendship. The Hyde Park re now the Seymour B and Bar Oasis (formerly the Woodside) have become the Fawn B. In the meantime, Bar Oasis have put forward a new, high spirited team who are great fun to play.

  The Fortescue Darts Team would like to commemorate Ross 'Bombardier' Boyland who is gone but not forgotten. He is missed by all.
