Mixed Limited Cup Blowout

By Scott Kringle

On Saturday afternoon, March 26, Cactus Moon asked if the next challenger for the Mixed Limited Cup would please “Come On Down”.

That very opponent would come from Ringers Pub, Mountlake Terrace. Tim Esther, Rosalyn Taylor, Ben Evans, and Crissy Hebert came strutting through Cactus Moon’s doors with the expectation of walking out as the new Mixed Limited Cup champions.

Of course Cactus Moon’s Corby Sloan, Shannon Livington, Mark Hinton, and Stephanie Stotesbery were not going to let anything walk out of their bar without a fight. Having just captured the cup from Cloud 9, it was imperative that they survive their first challenge.

Ringers took the first two games, but after nine, Cactus Moon had a 6-2 lead over Ringers.

“I love my new darts”, Mark for Cactus Moon says. “When I keep my elbow in, I shoot a lot better with my new darts.”

After fourteen games, Cactus Moon held a 9-5 lead over Ringers, and both Mark and Shannon said Corby was really starting to throw awesome darts. He warmed up hitting Bull after Bull, and started the match sorta cold. He mounted a comeback and was throwing very well.

After nineteen games, it looked like Cactus Moon was going to come away unscathed, holding a 14-5 lead. But Ringers took game 20 and was working hard to get more wins. With the way Cactus  was shooting, any team would struggle to win these games. Cactus Moon was just too tough, and in the end, won the match 17-6, and kept their challenge cup. Nice shooting.
