The new team, Dog D, playing out of the Brewdog pub in Clarkenwell, stormed to the top of the South Kensington Academic Darts League (SKADL) and stayed there all season.
They came away as worthy winners of the RCSA Purse for the Winter 2025-2026 season.
The ORCS, the “Old Royal College of Science” darts team, captained by Duncan Robertson, came second in the league despite drawing their home fixture, and winning their away fixture against against the top team.
The Arrows team, born from an amalgam of the Union Bar team, the Southside Bar team, and the Holland Club team, and captained by Gerry Donohoe, came in at fifth place.
Our ‘RCSA Double Elevens‘ team came in at sixth, their highest position since their formation, and a great credit to Captain Oscar Farrell, Vice-Captain Jack Swires and rest of the team with special mention for Dave De Winter and Paolo Chung.
With another season behind us, our most successful to date, we are looking forward to entering the ‘Summer League 2026‘.
For this Summer League 2026, the ORCS, the “Old Royal College of Science” darts team, will continue playing their home matches in the Ship and Shovell near Charing Cross. The ‘RCSA Double Elevens‘ team will continue to play our home matches at the Union Bar. And the ‘Arrows’ will play their home matches out of The Rising Sun near Victoria.
