Guernsey looking for darts inter-insular success
GUERNSEY are confident of success at the Peninsula Hotel on Saturday night as the darts inter-insular pits Guernsey and Jersey head-to-head on the oche.
As usual, it is the men's A team match that is the headline act and the Guernsey camp are looking to extend their brilliant winning run that stands at five successive triumphs.
Jason Allez is Guernsey captain for the first time, while Chris Smith, the in-form player in the team, also contests a number of tonight's individual CI championship finals at the same venue.
The relatively new men's B team match starts off the action tomorrow afternoon, followed by the women's event that Guernsey narrowly lost 5-4 last year.
But it was the brilliant 8-1 win in the men's A that stood out last year and Guernsey Darts Association president Barry Williams is hoping for another great win this time.
'You would suggest that it will be much closer than that this time. But saying that, the team we have got and the form they are in means it could happen again,' he said.
'Every year our men's A team gets stronger and the competition for places was incredibly high this year, so you had to be doing well to get into it.'
