Peter 'Snakebite' Wright, a flamboyant Scot sporting a purple mohawk, has won the World Darts Championship. How did the sport become so popular?
BRITISH SPORT has a new star. On December 17th Fallon Sherrock, a 25-year-old from Milton Keynes, became the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship, the sport’s most prestigious event. She then went one better by knocking out the tournament’s 11th seed with a magical shot at the bullseye, eventually taking home £25,000 in prize money.
The PDC’s efforts have paid off. Some 85,000 fans flocked to Alexandra Palace, in north London, to watch Ms Sherrock and 95 other players compete for £2.5m in prize money. According to Dave Clark, who presents Sky’s coverage, in recent years darts has been the second-most-watched sport on the network over Christmas, beaten only by football.
