Grand Slam of Darts

¥ Great competition and great crowds. They loved the character and the effort and the skill on show. In what other sport are new stars like 22 year-old-Kevin McDine in the same potent mix as old stagers like 57 year-old Dennis Priestley? Darts is buzzing box-office.
¥ Excellent work from Alan Warriner-Little and Steve Beaton in commentary and punditry. They gave enthusiasm and insight Ð plus they pulled off the odd joke. Lads after my own jokey-pokey heart.
