Henderson inspired for World Cup of Darts defence by Huntly homecoming: "It gives you the taste for more"

John Henderson and Peter Wright will hope to defend their World Cup of Darts title this weekend after winning the pairs tournament last year in a great sense of pride in particular for 'The Highlander' who will get a second chance to play this time.

“I’m buzzing," said Henderson. "I wasn’t expecting it. Fair play to Gary for giving me the opportunity to go and retain it.

“The reception I got in Huntly [on my return] last year was phenomenal, and it gives you the taste for more, so hopefully I can enjoy it and play well. I’m really looking forward to it.

“Peter was brilliant last year. He was the captain of the team and he really did help me. I think we’ll go in with the same mentality this year, and I believe we will do well.”
