The time is almost upon us, with the Summer Darts Season just around the corner.

We have a total of 24 teams signed up to take part this season.

As we have switched from a 2 division to a 3 division setup this season due to the swelling numbers of teams, there have been a few teams shuffling round to fit and make a balanced season.

This season we welcome back the Cross Keys, and the Trinity Tavern ‘A’ who dropped out last season due to lack of numbers. The recruitment drive for the Trinity Tavern appeared to be very successful, as this season they will also field both the ‘B’ team and a new ‘C’ team on top.

We also welcome the addition of the Golden Lion with a ‘B’ team and The Bugle is also joining the Summer line up as well.

The season is scheduled to start on 21st April … ish, as this is a Bank Holiday, so our first match will be the preliminary round of the cup on the 28th, then a week off before we crack on with the league matches (well 2 of them anyway as we then have our third of four bank holidays in the season). Player competitions will be held together at the end of August / beginning September.

There will be a registration for the Winter season held this year on a Wednesday 3rd September, where players can drop in to pay the registration fee – there will be no meeting.
