(VIDEO) John Part travels over land and sea literally to reach World Seniors Darts Matchplay in hilarious video

John Part is traveling over land and sea literally to get to the World Seniors Darts Matchplay in a hilarious video shared on social media.

It sees Part wading through the water before collapsing on the shore greeted by a fellow Canadian. He will face Robert Thornton in the opening evening session of the tournament.

Part who is over in the UK a lot anyway for Sky Sports work will have to fly from Canada in order to get to York as he took the last spot. Perhaps a nod to the journey he has to take through this video.

It is one that received a great reception with those on social media baffled by it and others saying it was 'world class work'. He will hope to make the trip worth it when he takes to the oche in York later this year.

"I am very happy and honored to have received an invitation to the Matchplay and I did not hesitate to accept it," Part said in a statement on being announced for the tournament recently.

"I'm really delighted and honoured to have received an invite to the Matchplay, and it's one which I didn't hesitate to accept."

"It's nice to catch up with old friends, and to compete for the most prestigious prizes in Seniors darts. I'll give it everything to show the fans that I still have the passion and ability in the sport, and I'll be coming to win!"

Phil Taylor, Leonard Gates, Glen Durrant, Robert Thornton, Trina Gulliver, Martin Adams, Lisa Ashton, Kevin Painter, John Henderson, Chris Mason, Neil Duff, Paul Hogan, Matt Clark, James Richardson and David Cameron are the other participants at the World Seniors Matchplay.

The 2024 World Seniors Darts Matchplay will take place this year on Oct. 4 and 5. In 2023, the tournament was won by Gates, who won 9-6 over Jim McEwan in the final.
