Last weekend, The Albion Foundation hosted its popular Darts Night at The Hawthorns for just the second time.
The event welcomed over 200 participants and spectators of all ages to the East Stand concourse for two exciting tournaments (Junior & Adults).
All profits raised go towards The Albion Foundation’s award-winning work across the Sandwell borough – and Deputy Director Jonathan Ward was delighted to see such a great turnout in aid of the club’s charity arm.
“It’s been great to host our second Darts Night in aid of The Albion Foundation,” Ward said. “It’s fantastic to welcome over 200 spectators and participants to raise funds for the Albion Foundation but also to come together and play darts.
“The event is a crucial one in our events calendar. It’s something different and it’s a way of engaging with participants who want to play darts and love West Bromwich Albion Football Club.”
Chris Follows, Operations Director at Tipton-based tyre wholesaler International Tyres, who were principal sponsors of the Darts Night, says the event had an “incredible atmosphere.”
“I’m very pleased,” Follows beamed. “International Tyres have been supporting the Foundation for a couple of years now.
“It’s a great privilege to support the Foundation. The darts has had an incredible atmosphere, bringing in companies and other people to support the local community.
“It’s great to be a part of the event and we’ll be supporting it for years to come. To be associated with the Foundation is great and we’ll do so whenever we can.”
Codey ‘The Conqueror’ won the junior tournament, while Andrew Dubberly scooped the adult prize in a successful day at The Hawthorns.
The Albion Foundation would like to thank event sponsors International Tyres and Ace Weddings for their support for this year’s Darts Night.
