Thisisdorset - The Count strikes

FORMER world darts champion Ted "The Count" Hankey put on a super show for fans at Weymouth's Park Hotel.

"He was meant to play 16 matches to 701 against the regulars but he ended up playing 25," said Park landlord Pete Smith. "He gave an excellent exhibition including throwing two darts backwards to get a three out. One went into one and the other into double one."

Three regulars managed to get the better of the former world champion who has just returned from a ten-day tour to Holland.
