Guernsey players set darts record
A team of eight Guernsey darts players set a new world record for scoring 1,000,001 in a game lasting 23 hours and two minutes. They beat the previous record by four hours and 48 minutes. That landmark score had been set by a team from Bristol University just a week before.
