Welcome to the website of the Kirkwall & District Darts League.

We are based in the Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland. KDDL was formed in 1967.

Most of the teams in our leagues play in Kirkwall but those based in the surrounding area are also welcome, for example we have teams from Shapinsay, Tankerness, Holm and St Margaret's Hope taking part.

Our darts season runs from September until April, with A league matches generally taking place on Monday nights and B league games played on Tuesday nights.

As well as these fixtures we also play for a number of cups, in various formats throughout the season which includes team games as well as singles and doubles matches. Some cup games and other competitions are held on Friday nights.

During the league we have six man teams and play two doubles and four singles matches in each half of each match. At half time the card is re-written and captains can bring in their reserves if they so wish in the second half. This means that each league match is the best of 12 games, consisting of 4 doubles and eight singles games.

We also play two big matches in the year, when in December we play the annual East v West game against the West Mainland Darts League, and then in April we take on our Shetland rivals in the annual inter-county match between Kirkwall District Darts League and the Shetland Darts Association.

At various times we hold charity fundraising darts events for many different good causes.

The league is run by a committee who are selected at the AGM and meet on a regular basis throughout the season.

The committee is: president, Craig Taylor; vice-president Kevin Gray; treasurer Trevor Pirie; secretary Jim Scollie. Committee:Brian Murray, Martin Peace, Roy Foubister, Archie Yule and Ian Wilkie.

If you have a darts website and would like to exchange website links or fancy coming to Orkney for a challenge match please get in touch.
