A NEW youth darts group is looking for youngsters to try out the sport.

The Blackburn Youth Darts Academy is looking for children from the town and other areas of East Lancashire aged 12 to 18 to take part in weekly training sessions to improve their skills.

There will be a monthly tournament with trophies up for grabs.

Registration fee is £5 a year with a weekly subscription of £1.50.

Organiser Keith Brunt said the venue is set to be confirmed.

He said: "This is a new concept to the area which gives more opportunities for young people to learn or improve in the game of darts.

"If your child or anyone you know would like to join the academy or would like more information please contact me.

"All money received will help pay for insurance, equipment and possible days out for the youths.

"All abilities are excepted in membership to the academy."
