Exeter College Darts

St Anne's

Anne's have ideas above their station, which is somewhere in a ridiculously low division, as we remind them whenever we play. This is not their fault as they only entered recently and started in division 6. However it provides us with considerable amusement as by the time they get to the top division they will probably be shit.

Matches

Two major ones, in the quarter-final of cuppers when we won it (beating them on a beer-leg) and in the final when we didn’t. According to their website, “ever since a chance meeting in the Purple Turtle, when Fads started a fight with our very own James "I don't even play darts" Thomas, we have struck up a great rivalry”. (Click here to read their other observations.) We have also played a few friendlies, as well as our second team’s first ever match - in cuppers last year, when Anne’s came through narrowly and a little luckily 7-5.

Players

Mr Joel
Hello Mr Joel!

Steve Williams, Oliver Noble-Wood, Mark Hiley, Dan Scroop, etc.
Since Mike Williams has gone to all the trouble of writing about these muppets on his own website it hardly seems worth me bothering, so if you can summon up enough interest, visit it.

Banter

St Anne’s at least make some effort, but their banter is largely based on quantity rather than quality, and abusing rather than amusing. Their team is on the verge of breaking up so they might lose what value they have pretty soon anyway, but for the record,

“there is a college far away,
Beyond the Horse and Jock
And everyone who goes to it, …” - actually you can finish that for yourselves.

Sunir / “Gasmask”
The picture on the right which I shamelessly nicked from Anne’s website shows this premier league wanker in action. Shouts loudly at people while throwing, asking questions like “are you gay?”, or “have you got a gun? Then how are you going to survive on the streets?” Fads’ offer to take him outside and show him how gay he really is was all that could silence him. Made a strong showing in our “leading darts c*nt” poll.
