A new match against Caithness has been arranged, after a long period of time since the two sides last met.

The North Atlantic Darts Challenge takes place in Wick on Saturday October 6th in Harpers Bar.

The event will see 3 teams of 12 players from the mens and ladies darts leagues travel to Wick to take on their Caithness counterparts.

There will be two mens teams, and A and B from the Kirkwall and District Darts League. The B team will be selected from the B league, to give B players a representative match. The Ladies team will be selected by the Ladies Kirkwall and District Darts League.

All mens KDDL teams captains are being contacted via the league mobile to put forward names of players wishing to be considered for selection.
The committee will then select the teams after a vote, as well as team captains.

Can all team captains who have not done so already, please ask their team members if they are available for selection then text the names to the league mobile as soon as possible: 0792 3042095.

The Mens A team will compete for the Subsea 7 North Atlantic Challenge Shield. The other two trophies are to be confirmed.

It is planned for the match to be started early enough in the day so that any players wishing to, will able to catch the boat back to Orkney if need be.
