Six of the Best

Here are half a dozen of high-profile names whose day could well come at the Aldersley Leisure Village next week:

Rafael Nadal kicked off the month of June by winning a14th French Open title...Darts, however, has an event dominance expert of its own.

The national pairs competition returns to our screens from Frankfurt, for the first time, this month

Ronnie O’Sullivan has won his seventh Snooker World Championship...also earns ‘The Rocket’ the honour of being the oldest snooker world champion...How does this remarkable effort compare to those achieved in darts or other popular sports in their modern era?

Peter ‘Snakebite’ Wright recently became Scotland’s fourth darts World Champion (and third to win it twice ) when he overcame Michael Smith at the Alexandra Palace and it reminded us of the huge influence that the nation has had on our sport.

Winmau led from the front at the unveiling of their new product range...they hit the ground running with the revealing of a brand new board, the Blade 6 Triple Core Carbon.

Perhaps the most noteworthy contrast... Daryl Gurney and Rob Cross earning over £1million in a very few years. Peter Wright has also surged in recent years and is likely to go further...
