Adrian Lewis v Martin Adams in Wolverhampton
Posted on August 6th, 2011
The biggest match in darts today is coming to Wolverhampton as Adrian Lewis prepares to take on Martin Adams in a special exhibition.
It’s world champion versus world champion as reigning PDC title holder ‘Jackpot’ Lewis takes on BDO counterpart Martin Adams at the Cleveland Arms pub, Stowheath Lane, on Wednesday September 14.
The two global kings will display their trophies and play each other in a best of 19, first to 10 leg contest, to decide the ‘undisputed’ world champion.
They operate on completely different sides of the fence, as Adams is a staunch BDO supporter and has vowed never to cross over to the PDC.
‘Wolfie’ has even turned down flat an invitation to Wolverhampton’s Grand Slam, a PDC event where BDO players are invited, every year since its inception in 2007.
Lewis and Adams will also play six punters each on the night with 11 drawn at random by their ticket numbers and the other spot to be auctioned on the night.
There will also be the opportunity for fans to have their pictures taken with the world champions and their trophies.
Tickets for the night are £15 each or four for £50 and can be purchased by calling 01902 451 021.

The Iceman Speaketh – Alan Warriner-Little Interview
Posted on July 15th, 2011
We caught up with the Iceman, former world No. 1, ITV4 pundit and current CEO of the PDPA Alan Warriner-Little. With the CV above he should know his arrers!
DM: So you are currently back on the road again doing the exhibition circuit?
AWL: Yes had a couple of years off, but the thinking behind the exhibitions is to get playing and practising again, then review it in 6 months time see how I have progressed and see if I feel in my own mind I have the game to play some of the circuit events.
DM: What can punters expect from an evening with the Iceman? And are there any dates yet that we should put in our diaries?
AWL: I leave it till when I get there, when I know what kind of players they are and what they are expecting. They all know you can play darts so often they are looking for something different, so I might throw off a stool, hit a double covered with paper, on my knees off a tray into the bull etc. Which may only come off 2 out of every 5 times but when it does people are like ‘bloody hell did you see that’. Then when they go to work in the morning they have something to talk about. At the end of the day it’s an exhibition not an event. It’s all about fun and mingling with people. People want to meet players and stand at the bar and share a drink and a joke etc. I’m happy when people walk out the door at the end of the night with a smile on their face, although some people do just want to play against the pro and try to win!

The Boys Are Back In Town
Posted on January 12th, 2011
A darts exhibition is a brilliant night and a great way of raising some money for a good cause. If you haven’t attended one you should make a mental note now to go along the next time an exhibition is held in your town.
You may not have known this but two stalwarts of the darting world and, latterly, the exhibition scene, have been out of action for sometime leaving a gaping hole on the exhibition circuit.
But fear not darts fans as they are back and raring to go. If you would like to book either of these Darting Leg Ends then simply drop us a line and we’ll put you in touch. Arranging an exhibition is easier than you might think and if you sell enough tickets it’ll generate a little packet for you.
So let’s give a big “Welcome Back” to Messrs Anderson & Warriner-Little, otherwise known as :-
