North-east darts fans turned out in their thousands to watch the leading players in the world go head-to-head for week 16 of the Cazoo Premier League in Aberdeen.
There was a party atmosphere at P&J Live as the crowd roared on world champion Michael Smith and others, including former world champions Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price.
With many in fancy dress the arena was a sea of colour on a dramatic final night of action ahead of next week’s play-offs at the O2 in London.
We were there to capture all the fun and excitement – with the entertainment off the oche just as as fun as the action on it.
