Johannesburg South Darts are back in action

Covid-19 may have stopped play for some time but sure did not stop the spirit of fierce dart players.

Johannesburg South Darts Association has officially gone back to darts after Covid-19 stopped all play.

Since the return of play, they hosted their first round of champions league.

On April 18 Johannesburg South Darts Association hosted the first round of Champions League, with all Covid-19 protocols in place. With only six rounds this year, the competition has been fierce from the get-go.

With three out of the top four men’s finalists coming from the Johannesburg South Darts Association, including the 2019 men’s winner and runner-up picking right up where they left off, proving playing online darts has only improved their game.
