This past weekend those who worship at the Temple of Tungsten were, as they say down south, in Hog Heaven. They had arrived in nirvana. They were the dog that arrived in heaven to find a “thousands miles of telephone poles with a belly full of pee.” It just doesn’t get any better. If able to receive Sky TV or even Justin TV on computers worshipers were treated to three days of the “best dog-gone TV darts” in the history of the world. The event, the Speedy Hire UK Open, had total price money of £500,000 with £200,000 on the line at Reebok Stadium in Bolton for the 172 who “toed the oche.”
What qualified this event as the “best TV darts” ever was that it had everything of a great TV show? It had heroes, villains, great darts from great players, lousy darts from great players, brilliant comebacks, great collapses, maybe the changing of the guard and of course heartwarming stories. In short a “one off.”
