“The walk-on was something special," said Dobey as per Unicorn Darts.

“It means a lot to me being a big Newcastle fan, having them come and do that with the flags for me was breathtaking.

“I didn’t expect it to be like that. I just had to take a moment when I got on stage to get my head around it.

“Normally I go to St James’ and it’s for everybody. Tonight that was for me and that meant a lot. I was just glad to get that first win under my belt.
