A darts club near Winchester is hosting a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ tournament, giving players the opportunity to play in the UK Open in March.
The Worthies Sport and Social Club, in Kings Worthy, is one of the eight community venues nationwide holding amateur qualifiers for the Ladbrokes UK Open in Minehead.
Players can enter qualifiers on January 10, 17, 24 or 30. The top two from each night will progress to a final round on February 7, with the ultimate winner securing a place in the UK Open.
Organiser Ben Dalton, 39, said: “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to potentially win the tournament and get a place to play at the UK Open in Minehead.”
The tournament is garnering attention from players across Europe, with people from Spain, Ireland, Wales and England already signing up to play.
Ben, who moved from Suffolk to Worthy Down in March, visited Ally Pally last year, and befriended a chalker, who visited the club and recommended it for the qualifier.
He added: “I was over the moon, I’m quite excited about the prospect of it all. I think it’s quite big and the club is all for it.”
Entry is £15 and can be secured by emailing Ben or visiting the website.
