BDO world title hopefuls on the way

Four of the BDO World Championship title contenders are heading to Wolverhampton for a darts exhibition when the tournament is over.

Play starts tomorrow at Lakeside in the eight-day event, where 32 men will play down to a winner and the £100,000 grand prize.

Then Scott Waites, Tony O’Shea, Darryl Fitton and Gary Robson will be heading to the Cleveland Arms pub, Stowheath Lane, on January 19.

Waites, the second seed for the BDO championships, is already well-known to Black Country darts fans after winning the Grand Slam in 2010.

‘Scotty 2 Hotty’ lost his crown at Wolverhampton Civic Hall in November and looks to get back on track against Andy Boulton on Sunday afternoon.

O’Shea, another Grand Slam regular and the BDO World Championship runner-up in 2009, joins Fitton and Robson on the first day, live on BBC1.

Tickets for the night are £10 each or four for £35 and can be purchased by calling 01902 451 021.
