2FLIGHTS PUB; EVERETT, WANorthend battle for the Novice CupBy Joseph MathiasTheNovice Cup team out ofFlights has been kickin’butt, not even botheringto take names! They’vebeen leaving a trailof exasperated dart players in theirwake, defending their cup over thepast couple months.We’d like to give the Flight’s NoviceCup team of Christina Schaller,Mary Richeson, Ann Counterman andCaron Aitken their due credit. Way togo girls, keep up the good work!And they would have their chanceto do just that, when the last challengingteam for the Novice Cup traveledjust a short distance from RingersFlight’s Novice Cup team of Mary, Christina, Erin, and Ann take down the competitionPub in Mountlake Terrace to Flightsin Everett last month. They broughttheir best low-rated players in BrettBrophy, Rosalyn Taylor, Karen Kringleand Doug O’Conner.The match started off with a bangwhen Flight’s cruised to a one-gamelead. However, the tide quickly turnedas Ringers stepped it up on the heels ofDoug and Rosalyn’s hot shooting. Theyhelped carry Ringers to a 5-1 lead, winningthe next five games in a row!Well, it was either fight or flight,so Flights chose to fight! That’s whenCaron caught fire and took out a 123 tomake it three in a row and get the matchback to within one game; 5-4 Ringers.Game 10 was a battle, but it wasBrett’s cool head that prevailed whenhe battled to take out the game andwin; 6-4 Ringers. Each team continuedto volley with Low Tons, but Flightstook the next two wins; 6-6 tie.Ringers quickly fired back ingame 13 to regain the lead, but atimely black bull from Mary would tieit back up at seven.Again, the teams traded gamesback and forth. Even with Low Tonscoming from Karen and Doug, thematch would still end up tied at 10with one game to go in a race to 11.The final game started out withBrett hitting the one and only HatTrick of the whole match. Too little,too late, both teams had numerousshots at winning the match, but itwould be Christina’s darts that woulddeliver the fatal blow. And the routecontinues as Flights cruises to anotherNovice Cup win!Million Thanks!Words cannot even begin toexpress my gratitude for everythingyou [The Medallion] have done forJanell and I.
