Nidderdale Darts League calls for new teams to 'step up to the oche'

The Nidderdale Darts League is looking for new teams.

The Nidderdale Darts League is officially opening registration for new teams for the upcoming winter season.

With match nights set for Tuesday evenings at 8pm, the league is looking for teams of at least six players to represent local venues across the region.

The season runs from September to March, culminating in Cups and Finals events in April.

Matches follow a competitive format of "Best of 3, 501" for singles and "One Leg, 701" for pairs.

Ben Styan said:

"We’re looking to grow the league and bring that classic Tuesday night atmosphere back to our local pubs.

"Whether you’re a serious player or just a group of mates looking for a night out, we want to see you there."

The league is encouraging new teams to sign up ahead of the upcoming season as interest in local darts continues to grow.

League matches are played on Tuesday nights from 8pm, with teams requiring a minimum of six players.

Fixtures include singles matches played in a best-of-three 501 format, alongside pairs games played over one leg of 701.

Organisers say the league has grown into a thriving 10-team competition, with clubs currently represented across Harrogate, Knaresborough and Boroughbridge.

As well as the main league title, teams also compete in two separate cup competitions throughout the season.

Players can also compete individually in end-of-season singles and pairs knockout tournaments.

Anyone interested in joining the league or entering a team is being encouraged to contact the league through the Nidderdale Darts League Facebook group.
