"Since we launched Bullseye Maths in 2022 we've enjoyed many fun sessions and this was a great afternoon spent with Woden Primary School," said Bullseye Maths coordinator Gary Horsley, who led the session, to the PDC afterwards. "Mike and Jermaine were brilliant with the pupils and shared their experiences with maths, and it was a bonus to have a local sports star like Conah join us too."

The Grand Slam of Darts is now over for Mike De Decker, the 28-year-old Belgian lost 10-9 to Luke Littler in the last sixteen. Jermaine Wattimena did manage to qualify for the quarter-finals after a 10-9 win against Dimitri Van den Bergh. 'The Machine Gun' will take on Littler in the quarterfinals on Saturday night. The winner of that game will meet the winner of the match between Gian van Veen and Gary Anderson on Sunday afternoon in the semifinals.
