The Saddle at Twyford Attempt to Start A New Darts League
In an attempt to reduce traveling costs, Peter
Featherstone (then landlord) of the Saddle Inn Twyford, tried to form
a darts league centred on Twyford. The map below indicates the
possible area, but it was intended that this was flexible.
The intention was for six players per team...
1 leg as a team of six, 2 legs triples, 3 legs doubles and six legs
played as singles. This would have run on Monday evenings... September to
March, starting in year 2001.
There was a possibility that this new league could be the
resurrection of the Burrough League, as the old Burrough league no
longer existed at that time.
Anyone interested? then contact Pete Featherstone on

This attempt by Peter has expired and he is no longer the landlord
of the Saddle... BUT I am still personally
interested in re-starting this old established institution... PLEASE
contact me (Email available at the page bottom) if you have any
interest in re-starting this traditional English game in the village
pubs of Leicestershire.
The game of darts is an endangered species, our younger
generation may never experience stepping up to the oche. Many public
houses do net even have a dartboard any longer.
