Wayne Jones' charity date with rival

Wolverhampton's Wayne Jones will go head-to-head with World Matchplay rival Scott Rand at a charity darts event three days before they meet in the tournament.

Jones and Rand have been paired in the first round on Monday July 18, but will first meet at the the Central Banqueting and Conference Centre, on Vulcan Road in Bilston, on Friday July 15.

The two are at a charity exhibition called 'Darts for Little Hearts,' which raises money for the families of children who have been diagnosed with a single ventricle heart condition.

They will be joined by fellow Matchplay players Mark Walsh and his first round opponent Dave Chisnall, along with Terry Jenkins and Andy Smith.

Professionals Kirk Shepherd, Steve Hine, Nigel Heydon and Prakash Jiwa complete the 10-man line up.

Each player will play a leg against a member of the audience on the stage, after a draw to decide who is picked.

There will also be a 'Darts Zone,' where punters can play a pro away from the audience by making a charitable donation, and a photography studio for photos with the players.

Other entertainment on the night includes an auction, raffle and bingo.

Tickets are £15 or five for £65, with VIP tickets priced at £50 or five for £225, and can be purchased by calling 07872 593 405 or 0121 526 2530.
