Customers and staff at Stax Trade Centres were challenged to step up to the oche and face one of the biggest names in darts.
Mark 'The Spider' Webster visited the Oldbury-based branch of Stax to play darts alongside the whoelsaler's customers as part of a promotion with sponsors Leyland Paints. Welsh professional darts player Webster spent a day play over 100 members of the public in a special nine dart challenge.

Stax had nine darts to try and beat the score of the former world champion, who threw six, with the highest scores being recorded for a chance to win a Makita DAB site radio.

One tradesman who took part said: "Mark was brilliant and really got involved in the event. It was an excellent day and competition organised by Stax and Leyland Paints."

Mr Webster proved his class by hitting 10 maximum 180s during the day, with no staff or customers able to outscore him. He said: "It was a fantastic day. I really enjoyed playing against the Stax Trade Centre customers. As professionals, we all love to play in and win major televised tournaments but it's always enjoyable to play members of the general public in events like this one of Leylan Paints."

Stax Birmingham branch manager David Scully said: "This event created a real buzz about the branch, in addition to the darts competition, Stax and Leyland really got behind the promotion offering a series of fantastic one day only deals so plenty of our trade customers walked away happy even if they couldn't beat Mark's score."
