The LCC Darts League is set to launch with an exciting opening night featuring Tennis vs Squash and Men’s Cricket vs Padel.
With preparations underway since Christmas, the Tennis section are already being tipped as the team to beat heading into the new competition.
What’s at Stake
There’s plenty on the line this season, with the League winners receiving a £100 bar tab in vouchers, as well as the first-ever LCC Darts League Trophy.
Rules & Format
Matches will be played using a 301 straight off, double finish format.
Each team will face every other team once during the league stage, with the top four teams progressing to the playoffs, scheduled for 31st March.
On match nights, each player will play one game against a player from the opposing team. For example, seven squash players may face seven tennis players in seven individual games. Once all games are completed, the team with the most wins takes the match.
- Win: 2 league points
- Loss: 0 league points
The score difference will also be recorded and added to the league table. A 7–0 victory, for instance, would result in a +7 score difference, which may be used to separate teams level on points.
Match Nights
Each week will see six teams in action, with fixtures released on Friday 16th January. Weekly reminders will also be included in the club email communications.
Players are asked to arrive by 7:00pm, with matches starting promptly at 7:30pm.
With silverware, bragging rights, and bar vouchers up for grabs, the LCC Darts League promises competitive action and lively evenings at the club throughout the season.
Match Week 1: Wed 21st January
The LCC Darts League got off to a brilliant start with a lively opening night full of close matches, strong performances, and a great club atmosphere.
The evening began with Staff vs Rugby, where Rugby made a confident start to the season, coming away with a 5–2 win. The closest match of the night followed as Tennis took on Squash. In a tense, back-and-forth contest, Squash edged it 4–3, handing the much-talked-about title contenders their first defeat. Action continued with Cricket vs Padel, where Padel produced a sharp and fast performance to secure a 6–1 victory and round off the night in style.
A special mention goes to Kieran Cross from the Tennis team, who recorded the highest finish of the night with 42.
Beyond the results, it was a fantastic night for everyone involved. The club was buzzing, with teams turning up even when they weren’t playing, adding to a brilliant atmosphere throughout the evening. The competition was intense but always played in the right spirit — some fun darts, friendly rivalry, and great camaraderie between members.
With such a thrilling start, the LCC Darts League is already shaping up to be something special!
