LOCAL darts players are needed to join News of the World champion Bobby George and Welsh international Ritchie Davies, in Britain's fourth charity darts marathon next month.

The four-hour marathon, involving hundreds of darts players throughout the country, will take place at local pubs and clubs in your area, between May 14-21.

The money raised will help disabled sportsmen and women in your area, by assisting in the development of sporting opportunities.

"We need local teams to take part to help us raise as much money as possible" pleads Bobby, "It's a great cause, great idea and will do wonders for the sport of darts and remember you could benefit too - there are so many prizes to be won, trips away for the team, balloon flights, plaques, trophies and lots, lots more!"

So you you're a budding Bobby, or just want to have four hours of pure unadulterated fun, make sure your team is on board!

Closing date for entries is April 30.
