Players from the Haven darts league have completed an incredible 12-hour marathon game of darts, raising £1,137.05 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

They were cheered on by neighbours, family and friends, who kept spirits high with plenty of coffee, cakes and treats.

The Haven darts league has grown in popularity since it launched last year, so combining the friendly competition with a charity fundraiser was always going to be a great success. 

Liz Cockings the captain of the Gwyn Court Dinosaurs said:
“I loved every minute of it. We were tired by the end, but knowing we were doing it for Macmillan kept us going. The best part was seeing everyone come together and family and friends popping in to cheer us on. We’re really proud of the money we raised for such a worthwhile cause.”

Charity fundraisers aside, the Haven darts league is now in full swing with Tŷ Gnoll Newydd in Neath joining the seasoned pros from Port Talbot for a lively season of friendly competition between schemes.

With regular fixtures running right through to September, residents can look forward to more light-hearted rivalry and community spirit that has made the league such a hit.
