chartpolski 23,215 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 The two best players in the world, at the moment, are playing in the final of The Players Championship, and Van Gerwin has just hit a nine darter to lead Luke Humphries 3-2 at the break.

Leighton Rees, world champion, only lived 3.5 miles from me, and it seemed, at the time, everyone wanted to beat him, even in local pubs. No chance!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My missus was World ranked in women's darts back in the 80's. She played mixed doubles with some of the worlds best; Didn't the council name a road after Rees ?
