Planet Darts by Niall Edworthy
Darts is the most popular participatory activity in the country, but it is a lost sport. Niall Edworthy's six-month account of life on the professional darts circuit, focusing on young hopeful Colin "Jaws" Lloyd, shows that darts is alive and well, if a bit broke and suffering from an image problem. From the faded grandeur of Blackpool's Winter Gardens Ballrooms to the neon glitz of Las Vegas, this is an account of a world where men are men, beer is compulsary and winning is everything.
