Community pubs across the North West, including two in Warrington, are on the lookout for the next Luke Littler, as part of a national darts competition.
The event, hosted by Proper Pubs – the award-winning community wet-led division of Admiral Taverns which operates more than 200 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales – including the Chapel House at Burtonwood and the Royal Oak Branch on Knutsford Road, is set to uncover the best new talent in the world of darts.
Sponsored by Fosters, the competition will follow a best-of-three legs, best-of-501 format. Pub heats began on Monday 6th January, and run until Friday 7th February. Each week, two competitors will advance to their pub’s final, with a total of eight finalists by the end of the heats.
The pub finals will take place during the week of Monday 10th February, where the winner and runner-up for each pub will progress to the regional finals, scheduled for the week of Monday 17th February. Across the country, there will be nine regional finals, each culminating in four finalists advancing to the national showdown.
The 36 finalists will compete in the National Final on Sunday 2nd March, held at the Town Hall Tavern, Greater Manchester, with the winner receiving a prize of £1,000.
For anyone interested in participating, please get in touch with your local Proper Pub.
