Priestley Makes Keepmoat Visit

DARTS legend Dennis Priestley was a special guest when Doncaster Rovers took on Barnsley at the Keepmoat Stadium on Tuesday.

The two-time World Champion, from Mexborough, conducted the half-time draw on the pitch during Doncaster's 2-0 defeat to local rivals Barnsley.

Priestley also presented the Rejus Premier Club Man of the Match award to Billy Sharp (pictured below) after the game.

Priestley will be competing in the Players Championship Finals at The Dome from February 3-6, as 32 stars of darts compete for a £60,000 first prize.

"It was a good night and I was delighted to be able to go onto the pitch - there were a couple of good-natured boos from the Doncaster fans but I got a good reception," said Priestley.

"Barnsley won 2-0 and hopefully I can be as successful in Doncaster next week!"

Other big names competing in the event include Phil 'The Power' Taylor, new World Champion Adrian Lewis, James Wade, Simon Whitlock, Gary Anderson.

Tickets for the Players Championship Finals are on sale now and priced at £20 and £25 and available through 01302 370777 or in person at The Dome's Box Office.
