Mr Dennis Murray during his successful dart-throwing record attempt at the Avonhead Tavern on Saturday. Holding the darts is Mr Paul Murray. In five hours Dennis scored 105,050 points, which he hopes is a world record for an individual player’s highest score. The money raised from the dartthrowing record will benefit the HOPE support group for children suffering from cancer. In 1981, eight dart players from the Royal Hotel, Huddersfield, scored 1,358,731 points in 24 hours, but the “Guinness Book of Records” does not have an entry for a single players score. For Mr Murray’s efforts to qualify as a record, identical tapes from two adding machines must be produced.
