Stafford will have played their part in the challenge of six of the contenders in the second biggest tournament on the BDO darts calendar this weekend.

That's how many of the players involved have had their shirts made by Harlequin Teamwear, who are established and based in Haughton, near Stafford.

The World Masters stands next to the World Championship as the top events on the organisation's calendar and will be televised live on ESPN from Friday.

Television coverage is a big boost for Harlequin, who were only formed a year-and-a-half ago but are already making their mark in the darts world.

Flying the flag for their apparel, which is made in Stafford, in the Masters will be BDO World No 1 Stephen Bunting and ladies counterpart Deta Hedman.

BDO regulars Ross Montgomery, who reached the semi-finals of the Masters last year, and Gary Stone will also be wearing shirts made by Harlequin.
