Young, Gifted & BACK! (reproduced from the Darts World 'Surrey Column' October report to be published in DW November)
Welcome to the Surrey Column, soon to be renamed the Nostalgia page judging from the number of times we have kicked back, poured a Horlicks & remembered times gone by on these pages – and this month is no exception.
So why the journey through the time tunnel this month? Well, it’s to prove that there are some things that are just too good to allow to be left in the past. A topical example is that old classic snack, Golden Wonder ‘Ringos’.
“No ring goes like a Ringo goes” was a well-known advertising slogan back in the late 70’s & early 80’s, and the product to which it referred was an integral part of my school lunchbox until it quietly faded into obscurity. However, to some, the pungent ring-shaped crisp was sorely missed & a campaign has been undertaken to force Golden Wonder to begin selling them again. So determined are the Pro-Ringo lobby that they even have a web-site at www.bringbackringos.co.uk – you don’t believe me? Just type it into your browser & see.
It’s been a successful campaign too, as, from August; Ringos are back on our supermarket shelves & are bringing their circular delights to a whole new generation of young munchers.
It seems Surrey darts have some characters as determined as the anonymous ‘Ringo Guerillas’ in Julie Hopkins & Carl Ramsey, as throughout the summer, they have persuaded, cajoled, charmed & badgered for backing for a Surrey Youth side, which had folded through lack of support a few years ago. It was a shame that the system that brought through such players as Dave Askew & Peter Manley amongst many others, should be left to die, but the belief & persistence of Julie, Carl & the team ensured that the resurrected Youth squad were able to take the stage for their first match of the season on the 26th September.
And much to the credit of the players & officials, they beat Glamorgan, a county with a strong darts tradition, by 9 points to 8!
Surrey Senior A player Anthony Hopkins (23.86), still incredibly in the under 18 category, led the way with a Man of the Match performance in the boys under 18’s, whilst Chris Forbes (22.27) also staked his claim to be a name for the future. More points in a 6-3 win for the section came from Dave Crook (19.27) & Rob Cross (18.56), with Darryl Pilgrim & Martin Byrne providing the other successes.
The girls narrowly lost 1-2, with Surrey’s point coming from Charlotte Lee (16.49), and the boys under 21’s were also on the wrong end of a one point defeat, as Lee Smyth (20.88) & Trevor Nash (20.45) picked up the victories in a 2-3 reverse. Disappointing for the older lads, but they just did enough to ensure that the day ended in success for the newly re-formed squad.
It’s a great feeling to have a Surrey Youth team again & as the side prepares for their next game at Berkshire on the 17th October, it’s clear that the County wasn’t complete without it. Let’s wish the same success for the return of the Ringo. In fact, considering the similarities between both entities, perhaps someone should give Golden Wonder a call about sponsorship … “The Surrey Golden Wonders” – hmmm, it’s got a nice ‘ring’ to it!
