180! More contestants needed for White Collar darts

Friday 13 September 2024


Have you ever dreamed about performing at the Ally Pally? Brighter Futures has the opportunity for you.

Two more amateur contestants are urgently needed for the local family support charity's White Collar darts event next month.

They will join a 14 strong line-up who will throw for the coveted Brighter Futures trophy in front of a crowd of over 300 people at the RJA&HS on Saturday 19 October.

Among them will be sports reporter Elliot 'The Treble Maker' Corbel, who will be representing All Island Media, which has chosen Brighter Futures as its partner charity this year.

Now in it's fifth year, the darts contest aims to raise essential funds for the charity, which supports 150 families in Jersey every week, more than ever before.

In 2023, 16 players raised over £20,000 for the charity and Andy 'The Mullett' Millett secured the top title.

During the evening, each player will get the true Ally Pally experience as they walk out to their own unique song before going toe to toe at the oche under the eye of professional caller, John Fowler.

Competitiors this year will have the chance to practice for the tournament at the Jersey Mechanics Institute every Tuesday and Friday evening under the expert guidance of the Jersey Darts team.
