Police swap guns for darts

Many of the men and women in blue aimed for top position.

THE South African Police Force National Darts Competition took place from May 18 to 22 at the Santana Holiday Resort in Margate. The week-long event attracted players from all the provinces in the country.

The week of competition culminated last Friday night, with the finals and prize-giving.

One of the organisers, Munnik de Koker, said that over the years, passion and dedication have been the foundation and strength behind the organising and playing of darts in all parts of the country. “We recognise the value of that work and encourage it to continue in that spirit. But there is a need to deal with the challenges of the day and to introduce changes that will benefit the game and all its many players and supporters and for darts to add its contribution towards South Africa’s sporting success,” said Mr de Koker.

The week provided good competition at the national darts championships. Good fellowship and friendships were made and respect earned, among the men and women who work for the SA Police Force.
