Participants had a memorable night at a charity darts competition hosted by the Defence Darts Community.
The organisation hosted 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 competition offered a place in the final night of Operation Bullseye on July 2, where the winner, Brett Morgan Williams, from the army, will be paired with a professional darts player.
The close contest was between Brett, who travelled down from Scotland, and Chris Wood, from the RAF, flown in from Cyprus.

Ben said: “A very tough final with both players playing exceptionally well throughout the tournament, and then stepped the level up for the final.”
Ben described the tense competition as Brett had ‘popped’ his knee and had to nurse it better with ice and painkillers before stepping back up to the oche.
Funds raised from the event will support Healing Military Minds, a volunteer, non-profit organisation raising funds and awareness in support of veterans’ mental health.
