It's Saturday at about 3:45 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel in North Philly, and the men's singles cricket is underway with 256 entrants. Earlier today in the men's pairs 501, Tom Sawyer and Tim Curtin from Massachutses overcame Joe Slivan and Mike Sansoucie from Florida in a close match in the finals.
I managed to find a partner for the pairs and we got through the first round, only to lose to Dick Keen and his partner. Dick took out a nice 78 in two darts in the first leg, denying me a shot. In the second game I hit a ton to leave my partner 40, but Dick again hit is double 4 on the first dart. In singles I again had the second round blues. I shot well the first round to take a sweep, but lost the second when I could not hit a pesky 18.
Many top shooters are here, including Darin Young, Bill Davis, Chris White, Jim Widmayer and many others from accross the country. I will take a rest during the mixed trips this afternoon and I am contemplating shooting in the luck of the draw tonight. Tommorrow is another chance with the singles 501 and pairs cricket events. I will provide updates as I am able.

Re that 18 : At the Lakeside I noticed one of the Pros opted to go S10, D4. He made a real mess of it. I prefer to just go for the Double.
