Over the last few weeks, I've considered quitting the sport of darts. My performances on Thursdays have been poor, Mondays inconsistent. The only time I really enjoy the game is in practice/messing around and at tournaments. That's why I attend the 2 last weekend and I had a great time. I really believed I could beat the players or at least give them something to worry about (a full write up is available here )

But at the moment, put me in a league match and I suffer despite the players really being no better than what I play at a tournament. I don't know if its preparation, the fact its just me but I'm just not enjoying the game of league darts. Alot of people are trying to tell me its just a blip, a mental obstacle to get over but it seems much more than that.

I have decided to continue Monday nights to keep it ticking over but SuperLeague I will giving up at the end of the season. Looking back over the last 3 years, the problems with my game really started there. It was a rough first season and it had a massive impact on me and my game. I'm not blaming it and I'm not going to make excuses but what I want to do is enjoy the game I dearly love.
