WORLD champion darts players will take to the oche for a charity challenge later this month.

Triple world champion John Lowe and twice-named world champion Dennis Priestley will pit their skills against each other in Darlington.

Together with Carl ‘The Jackal’ Hamilton, they are the latest darts players to take part in a series of charity matches organised by Wayne Matthews.

Through the events, Mr Matthews has raised thousands for Macmillan Cancer Care in tribute to Jan Gibson, the late wife of his friend Brian Gibson.

The latest – Unfinished Business, Return of the Legends – will be staged at The Grey Horse on Saturday, October 20 and will also feature live music.

  • Entry is free for spectators and £20 for those wishing to play. The event begins at 7pm.
