THE honours were shared at Saturday’s night darts test under the tent.

The atmosphere was electric in the specially erected marquee at the KGV where a packed house saw the Guernsey women regain their trophy before the main fare of the night. Sadly, the Sarnian men could not quite match the women’s performance and went down 5-4 to their Jersey counterparts.

‘All in all it was a good game,’ said new Guernsey men’s captain Rob Davidson. ‘There were a couple of cracking matches, but basically nerves and adrenaline take over. It’s difficult when you get the green shirt on because you’re not just playing for yourself.’
