Dutch Tournament

Groen-Wit & Morden

DARTS MARATHON
Saturday 13th December
Queens Head Public House

Two Saturdays before Christmas and a bunch of Little League enthusiasts spend their whole day and evening raising funds for the International Tournament to be held next May at King George’s Park, by undertaking a sponsored 12 hour darts marathon.

On a very wet and overcast day our ten sponsored players completed eighty five games of 1001 at the Queen’s Head, Mitcham thanks to the kind hospitality of Ray and Barb, licensees of the pub, and to the organisation of Mick Beard, known to most parents as the bonus ball man!

Sustained throughout by an endless supply of Guinness and lager, our players were in remarkably good shape by the end and anticipate having raised over £1,000 for the cause. A big thank you goes to the players drawn from members of the League Management Committee, team managers, parents and a former Little League player. Big thanks also to those who took the time to drop in during the day to provide some support and those who joined us for the food and live music at the end.

Congratulations to our star player Roy, who not only achieved the highest number of “outs” but also was the first to record a 180 score. Very kindly Roy donated his winnings to the League.
