At a recent meeting of Scottish Darts Association members, it has been decided that SDA county teams who are current members of the British Darts Organisation have selected the Tri-Nations as their preferred option for county, darts starting season 2020-2021.

"Today the Tri-Nations publish their vision for the future of grass-root darts; it is quite a comprehensive document. The executive of the Tri-Nations has tried to address many of the concerns of grass-root dart players, whilst keeping in place the integrity of the system.
Although we are all unsure, when any plans can be implemented due to the current pandemic, the Tri-Nations executive feel that is imperative , that plans are in place once the sport of darts returns to normal.
We urge all officials and players to study the plans we are putting forward, plans which have been fully costed, and are a viable way forward, for everyone, should they choose to join us. It would be helpful to gauge some sort of support, to enable us to go into the market place confident we have a product on offer, which is supported by you the players."

The Celtic Challenge Trophy was devised to fill a gap in the calendar as several of the Home Nations were not attending the 2017 World Cup in Japan.

The inaugural event was held in the CISWO Club, Glenrothes and host nation Scotland won both the Mens and Ladies titles with Wales runners-up in both and Northern Ireland in third spot.  It was such a popular event that it was decided to continue the championship for an initial three years, thus giving players the chance of extra International caps for their home nations.

The following year Northern Ireland were hosts and the event was held in Newry.  This year again the host nation won the Mens title with Wales taking the Ladies event.

In 2019 Scotland and Northern Ireland travelled to Merthyr to contest the event and true to form the Mens title went to the host nation as Wales lifted the trophy.  The Ladies event was won by Scotland, taking their second title in this challenge.

This year the event returns to the CISWO Club on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd February and it is hoped that home advantage will play a great part in the outcome of both titles.  The SDA hope that a large home support will give the players a fantastic atmosphere to play in and that the spectators will have the chance to see the best of Scottish darts up-close.

Tickets are £15 for the weekend or £10 for each single day and can be obtained by contacting the Scottish Darts Association.

The Scottish Darts Association’s 27th Winmau Scottish Open Championships kicked off at the Normandy Hotel, Renfrew with the traditional ice-breaker threesomes with over 100 teams competing for the title.

By the end of the night Stampers Crew represented by Cleveland trio Cameron Anderson, Simon McKenner and Carla Boyes defeated a mixed Scotland/England side, Titanium 3, Gary Stone, Mitch Butler and Paula Jacklin in the final.
