Oxfordshire's darts community have suffered a blow after Friday night's invitation tournament at the Kassam Stadium involving 11-times world darts champion Phil "The Power" Taylor was cancelled due to poor tickets sales.

Bobby Campbell, Stuart Dutton, Steve Foster and John Fowler had reached the Phil Taylor Challenge after battling through the qualifiers at Cowley Community Centre, but now their dreams have been dashed after only 100 tickets were sold.

A spokesman for Oxfordshire Darts, which sold 80 tickets from their 100 allocation, said they were "very disappointed" by the cancellation.

Anyone who bought tickets from Steve Babu should contact him on 07802 222875 for a refund. The qualifiers will all get their entry fees back.

Steve Mottershead from Power up Promotions said: "We needed to sell 300 just to break even. "I don't think I could have done any more. We advertised everywhere."

Rose Hill Community Centre are off the mark in the ODDA after a surprise 5-4 win over previously unbeaten Section 6 rivals Original Swan.

Darren Hughes beat Anthony Pomroy, only for Hill to level after Carter crushed Tony Taylor.

Swan then led 3-1 with wins from Steve Gill and Alex Peters, but wins from Jim Cooper and Vince Collett brought the game level, before a 2-1 pairs victory completed the shock.
