Kilgetty and District Darts League held their end of season presentation night recently, along with the finals of the team 1001 Knock Out.

Simon Egginton (league secretary) welcomed everyone and thanked all who had assisted in running the league during the season. Special thanks were expressed to Brian and Louise Cullen who worked tirelessly preparing the venue and food for the finals and semi-finals.

The 1001 Knock Out shield competition was played prior to the presentation taking place and some excellent darts were thrown. Five teams entered the challenge, with the final being represented by KSSC Red v Whitehorse. The Whitehorse took the first game, with the second game going to KSSC Red; the third and deciding leg was a very close affair, with both teams showing nerves, but with both nearing the double finish, it was the Whitehorse whose nerves held out to win the match 2-1. Both teams played some brilliant darts, with one or two players throwing exceptionally well.

The league’s treasurer, Mrs. Karen Gammon, then proceeded to start the evening’s presentation, assisted by league secretary, Mr. Simon Egginton.

He said it was the individual members who made the Kilgetty and District Darts a successful and friendly league and he looked forward to seeing all the regular faces, along with new ones, again next season.

He closed the evening by reminding all teams to keep an eye on the local press and look on the website for details of the forthcoming AGM.
