Obviously F.T to win; the others lack the good looks that Mr Tyrrell has.

There should be a place to vote just above these comments, right at the bottom of the story.

Comment on Studying for a Bachelor of Darts by Darts Minnow

It was with mixed feelings that I received Mr Rawstron’s comments: it is always pleasurable when a man of such sporting prowess responds in any way to a sports journalist. However, I must answer some of the perfectly valid queries and criticisms that ‘Razor’ has fielded, that have caused me such anguish over the past few minutes.

The article in question was not in anyway intended to be “derogatory about drinking, darts, banter and fun in general” - in fact (aside from yours) all of the feedback I have received has been positive, and interest in darts (especially among Freshers) has risen. First Years are the future of darts, and I think that the current NCDC should be proud that such a great significance has been placed on this ’sport’: the fact that I cared enough to actually investigate the history and culture of the NCDC demonstrates the fervour and anticipation that surround this most gracious of the BASPANCO (BAr SPorts Association of New COllege) past times.

I also refute the insinuation in your last paragraph that youth and inexperience should be some sort of barrier to involving oneself in darts: the inspirational story of Jelle ‘Young Matador’ Klaasen, youngest ever winner of the World Darts Championship (aged 21 years, 90 days on 15/01/06), applies to grass roots sports too.

The debacle concerning the erroneous nickname (dubbed ‘Thendergate’ by some), on the other hand, is indeed deeply embarrassing. I can only apologise for any offence caused to the parties involved, and I shall strive to better source out authorities for any facts included in any articles I have the unlikely privilege of composing in the future. I am also sorry if this did not “insipre [sic] confidence” in my underlying message: darts is great.

It is also heartening to obtain such a wholehearted and full endorsement by the Sports Editor.

Thanks for your input Mr Rawstron. Here at the Newt, we take both darts and our articles very seriously and we are very disappointed to hear that you weren’t 100% happy with the article. All that I can say is that, due to the popularity of darts as a sport, we may well have to reformat our sports section, removing ‘Football Update’ and replacing it with ‘Darts Update’. If this is the case, then I shall personally seek out an acitve member of NCDC to write a more fitting article.
