‍Darryl Fitton - A few years ago my grandson was playing some really good darts aged 7 he hit 180’s and bull finishes often (throwing from a shorter distance ) when I moved his oche back he struggled so his dad moved it back to where he couldn’t miss.

Superstition or ritual?

James Richardson - Getting to venue early, preparation is key. Pin badges I wear on my collar in comps.

‍Jim Williams - No

‍Tony O'Shea - I don’t really have any supersititions.

‍Paul Hogan - Early meal,  bit of practice, then relax before getting ready to go to the venue

‍Darryl Fitton - When I first got onto that famous Lakeside stage I was so nervous my first three darts were as follows (aiming for treble 20 ) big 1
2nd Dart (aiming for 2 ) I hit double 2, 3rd Dart (aiming for bull ) I hit 25. My 1st 3 darts after the referee called "game on" I hit 180. So now my 1st 3 darts when I get called onto a stage I aim for 1 D2 25.

How has lockdown been treating you?

James Richardson -

Jim Williams - I'm still working so the pandemic hasn’t had too much of an impact in my day to day life

‍Tony O'Shea - Gill not in work, so under my feet all day, every day!!! Not being able to see family.

‍Paul Hogan - None I am still working – delivery driver, starting 6.30am weekday morning, the wife is working from home, so a bit different her being there when I get home normally about 2.30pm

‍Darryl Fitton - I would say it’s changed my life but it’s made me a little bit more organised planning the days shopping cooking walking the dog & taking food to my sister who’s house-bound ! On a bad note I miss my family
