New Darts Season Begins With 29 Teams In The NDA V-Fusion League

The Nassau Darts Association is ready, revved up and rearing to go for the upcoming season. It should prove to be exciting this year, as there are 29 teams, an NDA record. The teams have all registered and are practicing for the start of the season, all with hopes of glory and championship success. The NDA is also proud to announce that V-Fusion, a V8 product, has agreed to sponsor the league for the next two seasons.

The league is now known as “The NDA V-Fusion League”. According to one of the leagues public relations officers, Christian Knowles, “this announcement is fantastic and could not come at a better time for the league.”

He said it also is a “clear indication” that despite the lull in the Bahamian economy, there are some brands out there, such as V-Fusion that is willing to support the local sporting teams and associations.

He said the NDA is also very thankful to all of the team sponsors, as they are the “engine that drives the league.”

The NDA V-Fusion 2008/9 Season is scheduled to officially begin October 1^st, 2008 and will run

until June, 2009.

However, the prestigious prologue to the season, the annual Captains Shootout, was contested

last week and 22 teams participated.

Brian Turnquest of AC Viper Snipers was the winner after he beat out Bill Casale of Toddless

Tunas.

“It was a great tournament and a fantastic preparation for the upcoming season,” said Knowles.

Knowles said the NDA also wishes to thank all of the venues that have partnered with them and

agreed to host darts every Wednesday this season. “Without them, darts would become stifled

and eventually lost,” he said.

This year’s partners will be: Gibson’s Bar – Strachan’s Alley, Club Waterloo – East Bay

St, Silver Dollar – Farrington Rd, Family Island Lounge – Soldier Rd, Taj Mahal –

Parliament St. North, Senor Frogs – Prince George Wharf, Cricket Club – Haynes Oval,

Pam’s Parlour – Providence St. Chippingham, Hideaway Pub – Shirley St. Plaza, Ira Storr’s

Backyard – Bamboo Blvd, Pinewood Gardens, Plush Lounge – East Bay St., Major’s Inn – Blue Hill Rd. North, Mandy’s Bakery – Palmdale Ave. Palmdale, Big Shots – Madeira St. Palmdale, and Hammerheads Pub – East Bay St.

“So beginning this week, be on the lookout for sharp shooting dart throwers at the venue nearest you. The players are friendly and love to share their knowledge with interested fans. Who knows, there may be an eventual dart champion among you. After all, that is how all champions got started,” said Knowles. (story source...)
