Lancashire
Lancashire County Darts Organisation was
formed in 1972.The following year Lancashire became one of the founder
members of The British Darts Organisation and were the first Inter-County
Champions in the anugural year. Since those early days when just
10 counties took part, the strength of the Inter-Counties has increased
to 66. Due to governmental changes the historic County boundaries
of Lancashire changed and a new County of Merseyside was born along
with Greater Manchester. Lancashire changed its name into Lancashire
GMC, which incorporated the new boundaries some of which were in
the old Cheshire county. Lancashire County is proud of its achievements,
and has had dozens of its players going on to represent their national
teams at international level and have become household names in
arena of televised darts world wide.
Lancashire has the
largest Super League in Britain with some 60+ towns competing each
year in its league.All the matches are played on Sundays with teams
from as far South as Stockport, North to Morecambe, West to Blackpool
and East to Earby. The leagues are not regionalised, and with an
area of 400 sq miles being covered, a fair bit of traveling. |
