Armed forces personnel are being invited to take part in a charity darts competition for a chance to play alongside the pros.

The Defence Darts Community is hosting a qualifier for Operation Bullseye on Friday, May 1, at The Worthies Sports & Social Club, inviting serving and former members of the Armed Forces to take part.

The winner will earn a place in a finals night tournament on July 2, where they'll be paired with a professional darts player.

Ben Dalton, one of the organisers, said: "With an exceptional standard already set at previous qualifiers, this event promises high-quality competition and a rare opportunity for military darts players to experience the sport at a whole new level."

The entry fee is £15 with money raised going towards Healing Military Minds, a volunteer, non-profit organisation raising funds and awareness in support of veterans’ mental health.

Registration will take place at the club between 2pm and 3pm on the day, with the first arrows thrown at 3.15pm.

Operation Bullseye has three remaining rounds of its 15 qualifiers, at RAF Boulmer, Winchester and Sleaford, before the final Operation Bullseye II in Haddenham, near Aylesbury.
