KWMC Claim Summer League Trophies
KWMC have claimed 2nd place in the 2008 Summer League
In the final game of the season, KWMC needed a big 9-2 victory to claim the
Division B title. The Walton Fiddlers came well prepared
though and took apart the KWMC team 9-2 to comfortably take
the title. Congratulations to them on a well deserved win.
Competitions are next with KWMC fielding teams in the
Triples, Pairs and Singles.
A review of the last year
I've been meaning to write up something
around this for a while now but it's only now with the
Summer League over I've got around to it. I think it's
important to recognise the progress the team has made over
the last year. There have been tough times for the squad
over recent times, the losses of family and friends, illness
and operations, players coming and going and player form
rising and falling.
I've had to refresh my memory on how we did
last Summer, but we finished a lowly 4th significantly
behind the 3 teams above us. Then there was the Winter
league where we finished 5th but could easily have finished
3rd. This was probably the best performance KWMC have put in
in Division A and is something we need to build on.
All in all the team is performing better
than ever and it bodes well for a good Winter campaign.
Before we get too comfortable though, there
will be more challenges ahead. It's not clear yet what the
Winter League will look like. It could be weaker, it could
be stronger. It may even be just one division. So many teams
have dropped out over the previous seasons and others are
creaking at the seams that it's difficult to judge. Too many
of the teams are aging fast and unless some younger people
get involved and create teams, we could be looking at the
whole league folding within the next 10 years. That for me
is a serious risk.
But what about KWMC? Well we are short of
players but hopefully those who played the summer will
commit for longer and we can continue to build a brand of
competitive darts based on the values the team has strived
to uphold - No internal conflicts, fairness and Fun.
With Winter League pending, I'm of course
looking forward to writing up the match reports and making
sense of our progress. I hope to be writing some even more
positive reviews this time next year!
