hey, im new to the darts scene. been playing about 10 years but only ever in my kitchen on my own and against friends. im looking to get a regular game, with a view to getting out the house a bit more often, and hopefully improving my game. im not great but do ok sometimes, however as i say, just on my own. i live in hamilton and have a friend in coatbridge who is also looking for a game. does anyone know of any teams looking for players in and around this area, or any little tournaments we could play in? many thanks

im not really sure which hamilton teams play on a monday, except bradleys in hillhouse who play in the blantyre local league on a monday which is the league i play in.
there is a great league over in airdrie on a monday i think it is.
another great league is the rutherglen and east kilbride league with some top top class players in it
there is a friday lanarkshire league with teams from hamilton, blantyre, wishaw, motherwell, airdrie, larkhall and a few others
if u want to join a team u just theres plenty of choice for u and ur m8 in the the area

u and ur m8 are quite far apart unless 1 drives. first pick the area and day that suits both then it narrows it down a bit and its easier to join a team
most leagues are just about coming to the end of their seasons in the next 6 weeks and wont start up again till about august
once the leagues are done in just just turn up to a boozer that has a darts team and have a throw with them.
i know my team during the close season has a tourney every monday that anyone in the boozer can pay their quid and play in. that way you get to meet the boys, im sure most teams will do the same.

the only team in hamilton in the blantyre league is bradleys (the old larriott) on hillhouse road just past the jock stein.
kennos is from the hamilton area and travels to blantyre for a game (think its really cuz hes trying to get me drunk and shag me since i let him play doubles with me)
think out last game is the 14th june, ur more than welcome if ur willing to travel out to blantyre for a game. were not great or anything, just a pub team. the boozer is right next to the train station
