“We also need cricket equipment, like bats and bails.”

Nineteen players participated in the record attempt with Rich Parkin playing an energy-sapping 96 legs.

The record was verified by World Darts Magazine which was surprised by the score achieved.

Mr Summerson added: “The magazine was very impressed by the score.

“The more we went on the faster we got.”
