Local players in the hunt

Welshpool players are among the elite trying to win one of local darts' top prizes.

A new name will be engraved on the Newtown Premier League Darts Shield with several local players in the hunt.

Gareth Ashley, Garry Jones, Sean Barnett, Chris Hurds, Craig Davies and Kacey Jones are the six players who will compete to become the 2017 Champion.

This week’s games will decide what the fixtures will be on finals night, but Ashley, last year’s losing finalist will go into the night seeded number 1 at The Monty Club Newtown on October 7.

First match will commence at 7pm. A few tickets are still available by calling 07869100536.
