competitions start on Wednesday after an ad hoc competition on Tuesday. It’s a great
opportunity to see if darts are for you.”
Dartnall said there will be over 70 boards set up.
About 40 of the competitors are from the Pukekohe club, including Dartnall himself. Pukekohe is also the current Auckland Clubs trophy holder.

In 2023, the organisation decided to withdraw support for the North, South, and National Darts Tournaments. However, in December 2024, the board decided to reactivate the darts tournaments in 2025.
