DARTS IW DARTS stars had their moment of fame at Lower Hyde, Shanklin, on Friday, when they took on some of the biggest names in the sport, in the inaugural IW Pro Masters.

Keegan Brown, Gavin Hicks, Tony Broughton and Nick Popham were drawn against Adrian Lewis, James Wade, Simon Whitlock and the eventual winner, Raymond van Barneveld, in a night of great sport and great fun.

Keegan, 20, of Newport, who was knocked out by van Barneveld, said: "This has been great for the IW. 750 people were here tonight and it felt the whole Island was here to support us. It was absolutely brilliant."
