Newcastle footballers in darts premier league

It seems that the growth of darts has no bounds, and new Premier Leagues are springing up everywhere.
Several of The Newcastle football Team have got so into playing darts that they have developed their very own premier League.
In a report by Steve Brenner of Sun Newspaper he wrote that:

STEVE HARPER has revealed Newcastle’s secret weapon — darts.
"The Toon have gone arrows crazy as Glenn Roeder’s men hunt for UEFA Cup glory as well as trying to sneak into the Premiership top six.
Winger James ‘Machine Gun’ Milner is the Phil Taylor of St James’ Park, with keeper Harper seeded second.
Harper, who travels to Wigan today, said: “I took the dartboard to Belgium. James is the reigning champion but we have a Premier League now. There are eight of us.
“We’ve even started coming into training early to play. It’s good for team spirit — it’s really good banter.”

Maybe there could be an angle for a Premier Football Darts Premier League with each of the Top 8 clubs putting their best darter forward to pair with the current 8 Pro's in a yearly event?
