"Here we are on day seven of the sit-in at the Bluebell Inn. This has now become a village divided; the real battle of the sexes is taking place here, now. The five women inside are still standing firm, although it is said they are now very short of supplies. The men, urged on by friends and work-mates, are also standing firm. Deadlock is the only way to describe what is happening here now....
"The deciding match in the County Darts League should take place here tomorrow night. If the sit-in isn't over then, the men will have to concede defeat.
