Face Of Cheam

Bank Holiday Monday was watch sport in the pub day. Went to the Old Bank to watch the Championship Play-Off, where Derby were victorious. I said previously that Derby were an awful side to watch and this ‘show piece’ did nothing to alter my mind. Hoof the ball forward and kick the opposition when you don’t have it. It was an unsurprising 1-0 to them, with West Brom clearly playing the better football when not being kicked. Still we don’t have to play them again next season, or hopefully the season after when they come straight back down scoring fewer goals than Man City this year, and us hopefully going straight up. A bonus in the pub was a nice smile from the attractive O’Neills barmaid who was drinking there with a couple of friends.
After going home for some food, I go out to the Butterchurn for the Premier League Darts. Unsurprisingly Phil Taylor won convincingly over Jenkins who had a remarkable 11-10 game with Barney in the semi. At £2.55 a pint of Fosters, the Butterchurn, is my cheapest ‘local’ and is always good for sport. Bar staff are friendly and although you may get some (and I know this sounds snobby) lower class individuals in there, they keep themselves to themselves presuming only ‘larging it’, in town (possibly Croydon) at weekends.
