DARTS daft David Worthington, 13, hit the bull's-eye when he beat world championship finalist Phill Nixon in a one-off challenge.
To thank his North East supporters, the County Durham ace Nixy is touring workingmen's clubs taking on all-comers in exhibition matches. But he hadn't bargained on dead-eye shot David who left the Lakeside World Championship Finalist in his wake with a display of magic darts.
In their match Nixon started on 501 and David on 301. Nixon, a 50-year-old dad-of-eight from Ferryhill, was stuck on 164 when his teenage opponent hit the decisive double 10 to claim victory.
Seaham School of Technology pupil David, who dreams of being a darts player when he grows up, was shaking with nerves when he went head-to-head with his idol.
