Kevin Painter has given some disabled darts players the day of their lives on Tuesday afternoon. The Artist met the group with about ten players in a pub in Rugby.
The former World Championship finalist was actually going to practice for a few hours, he said on Twitter. However, he saw some disabled players playing darts against each other. Painter decided to join the group as he went to add their scores on the scoreboard.
''Today, life has that bit more meaning for me. I spent an unplanned random two hours, playing darts with a group of 10/11 special needs/down syndrome guys that turned up to play'', the 2011 Players Championship Finals winner said. ''They got me adding their scores up the lot. They were chuffed, made by day. Thanks alot guys, good fun.''

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
