  NORFOLK IS THE FIRST COUNTY TO SIGN UP WITH RILEYS

The Norfolk Darts Organisation has signed a four-year deal to stage all of its competitions in Rileys Darts Zones.

It means that more than 100 players will use Rileys club in Magdalen Street, Norwich, for their home fixtures, and the NDO are the first county to commit to Rileys.

 

In addition to staging all their British Inter-Counties Championship matches in the Rileys Darts Zone, the NDO will also stage their Cup competitions and youth competitions in the expansive Magdalen Street Darts Zone.

Rileys have put in a raised stage and four extra ‘throws’ – taking the total to 10 - to accommodate the NDO and its players.

A designated spectator area will have room for some 150 darts fans, and a video link will play out on a big screen in another part of the stunning, modern club.

NDO General Secretary Geoff Herschell said: “We are delighted to sign up to play in the magnificent facilities at Rileys Darts Zone in Norwich, “and our full calendar of Inter-County home fixtures will be played there from the start of the 2010/2011 Couny season this September.”

Rileys Chief Executive Maurice Kelly said: “This is a landmark signing for Rileys. We welcome the Norfolk Darts Organisation and its players to our Magdalen Street club.

“We have worked together to create a great darts facility for the county, and accommodate the needs and wishes of the NDO.

“We would be delighted to hear from other counties, and accommodate them, too, as we continue to open Darts Zones across the country.

“Rileys are dedicated to making darts a great sport – from grassroots to top level and we hope the Norfolk Darts Organisation is the first of many counties to sign up with Rileys.”

The Magdalen Street Darts Zone opened in January, and around 400 fans turned up to see it open its doors.

Rileys – who sponsor the British Inter-Counties Championship - have already opened 20 Darts Zones, and will fit them in most of their 126 clubs nationwide.

The hi-tech Zones have won praise from players for being equipped with Championship-standard boards, specially-focussed lighting, electronic scoring and wide ‘throws’.

Rileys are the UK’s largest pool and snooker club operator and are engaged in a programme of opening state-of-the-art Darts Zones in their clubs nationwide.
