Sports News - Burnley Today: The Golden Arrow Is Back

"The Golden Arrow Is Back
ONE of the area's biggest-ever darts competitions is to come back to life in the New Year.
For more than two decades the Golden Arrow provided the Burnley and Pendle darts scene with it's biggest individual crown.
And it is to be launched back into life in a new format in January.
Darters from across both boroughs, who are registered with either of the respective leagues, are being invited to sign up for the chance to win a share in the £600 prize money.
But the revival competition will not see games at various venues across many weeks leading to a showdown of the top eight darters from each region.
In it's place will now be a competition where the winner will be found in the space of just one day.
The upstairs room in the Burnley Miners Club in Plumbe Street will be transformed for a massive panel darts competition on Sunday, January 14th, at noon.
Four boards will work out the top eight from Burnley and four will find the leading contenders from Pendle.
When that 16 has been decided, the competition will move on to centre stage in the main downstairs room at the club.
And then the battle will really start in earnest as the search for a champion hots up.
Entry fee for the 2007 Golden Arrow is just £2.
All pubs and clubs which compete in the darts leagues in Burnley and Pendle have been circulated with details and further information is available from Burnley and District Darts League secretary Harold Bowers (423478).
