After the recent lull in darts due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the West Midlands, thanks to Marie Millward, has a brand new darts league, the Black Country Thursday Night Singles League hosted by Allens Sports Bar, Tipton.
In its inaugural season the league has attracted an encouraging total of twenty nine players including a variety of professional, county, super league and local league players.
After the opening round of fixtures Gareth Johnston, with 8-0 wins over Lewis Handley and Alfie Jacques leads the field, his perfect start giving him maximum points of 20. Just one point behind Johnston is Benjamin Hollowood who kicked off his campaign with a similar 8-0 win against Alex Mason and then followed up with a 7-1 success over Paul Harrison.
There is a quartet of players after the top two, Reece Colley, Graham Hall, Shane Price and Shane Sheridan all on 18 points, only two adrift of leader Johnston.
