SPRING INTO BULLSHOT//

Last week saw our monthly darts competition take place at the Riverside Arena. Controversy unfolded with Oscar ’Formally Known As Jesus’ striking the bull, which under the Bullshot Regulations paragraph 50: (endorsed by the great Sid Waddell) - Subsection 180; "Any player hitting the bull will instatntly win the golden trophy".  FKAJ insisted the players, play on.... (sportmanship to the highest level). This then led to a final shootout with Tyler 'Southern Comfort' who managed to strike with vengences to be closest the bull. A stewards enquirey then unfolded... VAR (Very Askable Reasons) was used & The 'Southern Comfort' with equal sportsmanship agreed the trophy should be handed back after seeing the rulebook. The trophy was whisked off to the engravers for a tricky name change! Stay tuned for what could be a thrilling end of year competition at the degree show private view!
