Back to the Circus Tavern in Purfleet for an evening of darts featuring Simon Whitlock, Adrian Lewis, Keith Deller and Eric Bristow.

I was on a potential banana skin because my opponent was Scott Lawrie, from Harwich, the No 1 player in Essex.

It turned into a great contest thoroughly appreciated by the 400 spectators and I was pleased to come out on top with an average of 95.18
