CUXTON DART REPORT
17th June 2025
Cuxton 9 - Kings Hill 4
Victory Again – Could It Become a Habit?
Another win under our belts, let’s hope this streak lasts.
The night crackled with tension from the outset. Kings Hill arrived with only six players, all young, sharp-eyed, and clearly determined. They asked to start early, and we didn’t argue, it felt like they meant business.
From the first throw, you could feel how badly both sides wanted it. Every singles match stretched to a full three games, gritty, hard-fought battles, except for Aiden. Calm and unshakable, he swept through his opponent in two straight games like it was just another practice round. By the end of the singles, we were up 4–2, but no one was relaxing yet.
In the pairs, Nick and Aiden set the tone. Focused and fluid, they delivered a performance so clean it almost looked effortless. Then came Steve and Martin. It started rough, they couldn't hit the high numbers, while Kings Hill closed in on a finish. The rest of us stood back, nerves fraying, this was a game to win, but dream on. Kings Hill were on a finish we still had 300 + to get, they struggled to finish so Steve and Martin did no more than chip away at the 300. And then, from what felt like nowhere, Martin found the double. A dartboard fairy tale. The roar said it all.
Pep and Jim fought hard but couldn’t hold off their pair. The scoreboard clicked to 6–3.
Then came the triples. One win, one loss. 7–4. Still close enough to keep the tension alive, especially with the two points for the team game on the line.
But when it mattered most, the lads locked in. The rhythm was tight, the scores clinical. Every throw chipped away at doubt, and by the time we sealed it, we were 600 points clear. Kings Hill never stood a chance.
In the team game Steve deserves a mention for an average of 137.5. Nick wasn’t far behind with 121. On a night full of tough throws and pressure, they rose above it all.
A cracking evening of darts. Next week, it’s Freemans Arms away. Wish us luck, we’re going to need it.
