Wednesday Under 55 Average Comp – December 3rd Round-Up

Another Wednesday night, another chance to put some practice into competition  and this time there were definite signs of progress.

I played in the Under 55 Average Competition, and although I went out in the quarter-finals, there were a lot of positives to take. My scoring felt sharper, and I actually hit a 79 first-9-dart average in my opening match, easily one of my best starts in recent weeks.

What really pleased me was how relaxed I felt compared to previous tournaments. I wasn’t fighting my throw or overthinking too much, and that showed in the way the darts were grouping. My overall average for the night was 44.86, which, while not spectacular, reflected a much steadier rhythm.

If there was one frustration, it was finishing. The doubles didn’t come as easily as I’d like, a familiar story for most of us! But the scoring foundation was there, and that’s what I’m taking forward. I hit ten 100+ scores and two 140+ scores, so was happy with that. 

The plan now is to carry that confidence into Thursday’s Open Competition and, hopefully, be a bit more clinical on the outer ring. If I can combine that same relaxed mindset with a sharper eye on doubles, I’ll be moving in the right direction.

Step by step  it’s coming together.
