There are very few opportunities in sport in the Caribbean where it is possible to leap from relative obscurity to compete against the best in the world, take a share of a prize fund of one million pounds sterling and show off your talent to a live audience of 3 000 and a global TV audience of millions.
Yet this is the prize on offer to the darts players of the region when they compete in The Carib Beer Caribbean & South American Masters at Solidarity House on November 6.

Fitzgerald, Madhoo off to B/dos for Bryden’s invitational tourney
Madhoo looking to win tournament after success in 2003
Newly crowned 2008 Darts Champion Sudesh Fitzgerald and former champion Norman Madhoo yesterday departed for Barbados to participate in the Bryden’s Invitational Darts tournament and the Caribbean/South American Masters.
Speaking to Stabroek Sport before his departure Madhoo declared: “It is time to take back the crown as it has been too long.”
Madhoo won the inaugural tournament in 2003 but was defeated in 2004.
Barbadian Anthony Forde, a two-time winner is the defending champion.
Madhoo expects tough competition from 2005 champion Winston Cadogan and 2006 champion Vivekanand Dyal.
Other top players taking part are Rahaman Hassanali and Troy Bhujwan of Trinidad, Roger Edwards and Gregory Catlyn of Barbados and Linus Theophilu and Anthony Wilkey of St. Lucia.
Guyana has one of the smallest contingents which was blamed on the lack of sponsorship.
Fitzgerald is being sponsored by Max Rambharose of Lens and Floyd Jaundoo of the USA while Madhoo is self sponsored.
The winner of the Caribbean/South American Masters will receive 3,500 pounds.
The tournament is a prerequisite to the Ladbrook World Darts Championship in England which will be staged later this year.
