Gary Anderson's shock conqueror at the World Grand Prix, Richie Burnett, is heading to Wolverhampton for a darts exhibition before the next televised tournament.

Burnett stunned the world No 4 by coming from behind to dump Anderson out at the first hurdle with a 2-1 win in Dublin last night.

The Welshman's win was the shock of the round as the biggest difference in the world rankings - Burnett stands 43rd - separated the two.

And, when the tournament is done, the former BDO world champion will be at the Cleveland Arms pub, Stowheath Lane, on Friday November 11.

Tickets are just £2 and can be purchased by calling 01902 451 021.
