CAMERON MENZIES might have his eye on success at the PDC World Darts Championships when the tournament gets under way later this week - but the Muirkirk ace hasn't forgotten his local roots.
Cammy warmed up for the Alexandra Palace tournament - the jewel in the crown for any pro darts player - by teaming up with Ricky Menzies and Julie Ward to compete in the New Cumnock Darts League's three-person team event at the Empire on Friday night.

But his efforts weren't enough to help his team to victory - or even to a place in the final.
Cammy, Julie and Ricky had to be content with a place as one of the tournament's losing semi-finalists as Jamie Curran, Conner Curran and Bobby Templeton from Mauchline secured victory.

The runners-up were Bryan Neil, Kenny Murray and Scott McPheators of Glenmuir, while the tournament's other beaten semi-finalists were Robert Dean, Stevie Gormley and Jim Mitchell of New Cumnock Bowling Club.
