The Xfm Manchester Darts Activity...

The FA Final, the British F1 Grand Prix and Royal Ascot. All great names in the world of UK Sport and on this morning’s ‘Pete Mitchells No Nonsense Breakfast Show on Xfm Manchester’ another event can be added to the list…

Jim ‘Savaloy’ Salveson (nick name TBC) will be taking on BDO International Open Champion Tony ‘Silverback’ O’Shea in a one off game of Darts.

For several weeks now Breakfast Show Producer Jim has been very critical of the sport and casting doubt over its difficulty and even its status as a sport and Pete Mitchell decided enough was enough. On April 15th at the Pineapple in Marple, Greater Manchester, Pete has set up a game to shut Jim up once and for all – he will go head to head with the Silverback.

That gives him 3 weeks to get up to scratch and you can find the latest info on-line at
