Over the course of the Summer 2 term, staff competed in a Darts Tournament. Fixtures took place over 7 weeks in a straight knockout tournament.
After some very competitive matches (and some less competitive ones), the final 4 staff made it to the semi finals. The draw saw Mr "Prime Time" Evans take on Mr "High Voltage" Stubley in Game 1 and Mr "Sir Bullseye" Knight take on Mr "The Power" Plant in Game 2.
Prime Time kept up his good run of form and was finding doubles at ease and therefore dispatched the last SLT representative in the competition with a 3-1 victory over High Voltage.
In the other semi final, Sir Bullseye did a great job of maintaining the PE departments reputation as elite sports people by securing a 3-0 victory over The Power, and rumours began swirling around the staff body that Sir Bullseye may be more than just a competent player.
In a hotly anticipated final, there were some fantastic 3 dart scores right from the very first set with a high average being attained by both players. However, Sir Bullseye did what he did from the very start of the competition and floated in the necessary darts to the doubles he was aiming for to ensure a flattering 4-0 scoreline was achieved. Both players walked away with a huge amount of credit though due to the consistency and levels they reached.
Mr "Sir Bullseye" Knight took home the trophy for the inaugural Bloxwich Academy Staff Darts competition, and has set the marker for future editions!
A big thank you to all the staff who got involved and played all of the fixtures in a competitive manner but always in the right spirit.
We look forward to seeing you all again for next years tournament, as well as hopefully some new additions who fancy their chances of claiming the trophy.
