We have just entered into a partnership with Winmau that sees them sponsor our Darts Centre, the Monday Night League and this fantastic new tournament. We are looking to run more leagues and competitions and to take darts to another level with our partnership with Winmau and the BDO.”

We are proud to be associated with him and the Sports Arena and thank them for the superb opportunities they have provided for the players.
