Derby league is hoping that new darts teams will get the point
THE Thursday Derby Darts League, established in 2011, is taking entries for their second summer season.
Open to men and women of all standards from the city and the surrounding areas, the league also organises a knockout cup, singles and pairs competitions through the season.
League matches are played three pairs 701 and six singles 501, both over best of three. Because players are able to compete in pairs and singles, only six are needed to make up a team.
It also offers the chance to win cash, with a pay-out of £1 per league point and 95% of what the league takes in is paid out in prize money.
