Trina Gulliver MBE Wrote: Darts-Oche is a valuable go-to website for all new players. I have known David for over ten years; his dart knowledge is vast. Darts-oche and his other darts websites are packed with information that all readers will enjoy reading. The content is always well presented as he takes time to recreate some of the past dartboards and dartboard setups digitally.

I would recommend this site to any new players looking for all information on what's happening in darts.
