OK lads, as you might know I am on the committee of the Shetland darts association. Shetland for those who don't know is a beautiful island mid way between Scotland, Norway and faroe islands. We are 14 hours away by boat from Aberdeen.

We play lots of darts and are very friendly here. So the point of my post ......does anyone fancy bring a darts team, of at least six players to challenge us here in Shetland? If possible we could play agianst your team in your venue next year. If anyone famcies it pm me or post a reply. Our standard is generally good and we would show you round our islands perhaps playing in some smaller islands too, you chance to play darts in the most northerly part of the UK. Flights is usually the best way to get here, but a weekend of darts would be a possible.

Thoughts lads....and of course ladies as well

Happy to play overseas teams too

I'd definitely be up for this, not sure the rest of the team would be though

Ask them fox...don't need to be your team, perhaps a county select?? Cost of flights from Edinburgh is around £250 return.....we could see if we could get some volunteers to put you up here in Shetland to avoid the costs of hotels. No promises on that front though .....same for everyone else that might fancy it......perhaps a forum 6 could play??? Larry fancy a trip from the US? And also the Canadian lads you guys not fancy it, and the swedes too!!!!!!!! It could be Shetland versus the rest of the world !!!!

Thats a great idea Andy, I'm sure there will be some who would love to visit the Shetlands, lets hope Fox's team decide to, I know Fox is a very good player so he should be a good challenge for you.

County select eh? Hmm Could be fun, can I bring the Pdc lads? :P

Of course...there are 8 and Russ bray coming up in a few weeks and they've layer some locals before...and lost!!!! The pros love it here as they can walk the streets and nobody hassles them....well we only got one street anyway really!!!! Taylor been up here many times. And barney......see my previous post with him and my boy pictured...and Fitton too!!!

Wish i could say i could bring the likes of barney and taylor. But 2 of the lads are ranked in the top 100! Prakash jiwa and Adam smith-neale. Josh Jones ranked just outside the top 100.

Listen fox, we would have a great time here.....if you could get 6 or more we could certainly have a game...would be a great "trial" for you and your county ambitions.....warwickshire was it, sorry I forgot, Nuneaton though. Shetland versus Warwickshire selects sounds good to me mate. I'm noticing a lack of interest from the rest of the world though....so come on if you want to see a beautiful part of the world, some great darts venues and a really friendly welcome too.

I'll definately give it some thought bov and mention it to the others, see what they reckon.

Is the prize a crate of Bovs Special Brew?

Good idea grip.....free beer if you come at my house. You fancy it my friend?

I would love some free beer, but my skill at darts is hopeless compared to you guys, but would be nice to see the Shetlands some day

Ahh yes, I've heard all about Bovs special brew.

Grip...we will need a scorer if you feel your darts are not good enough....don't matter just fun anyway

I can be the drink fetcher!
