You could write a book about it Oche, like that Justin Irwin bloke.
What to call it, any suggestions?

I'd beat him :D :D
I wanted to draw a TC holder and a guy I could beat. Both happened and even won a leg against Killington. At least I had some decent results while playing bad so I didnt embarrass myself :grin:

I think before the tour card actually meant something I’d say there would be a fair few contenders for that title.

Well done.
Reminds me of the trip I took to the 2007 PDC US Open. Although you were more successful than me :)

Thought it was a decent write up tbh. Lacked a little bit of detail, but otherwise decent.
Obviously a great experience for the young lad.

No. That would be me. :grin:

In all fairness my initial impression of Phil was that he was a lot older than he is, as he demonstrates a knowledge of darts which belies his years.

However he has confirmed in his posts that he is of a younger generation.

For moment I thought it was you that DM’d me about Aber uni a few years back as his daughter was thinking of going but that was The Crusader :)
Yeah she loved her 3 years there too. Would presume you are about 24ish

Not very forthcoming with what he missed from your write-up.

If Bluespark can't come up with anything, I'd be interested in a breakdown of your expenses for the weekend if you'd care to share.

I always felt the numbers making the rounds for a weekend on the protour are quite high, but maybe I'm missing something.
