You may think Darts is a past-time drunk guys play in bars, but, you would be wrong: Darts is a real sport, and if you don't believe, just witness 2 major international Dart events, The 19th Caribbean Cup and the Sixth America's Cup which are being held in Belize starting on Saturday.

A large number of players from all over the world started arriving in Belize today and today, we were at the PGIA to see delegations from Barbados and from Bahamas arrive.

They said they are happy to be here:..

Jose Mora, President Belize Darts Federation
"We are holding the 19th Caribbean Cup and the 6th Americas Cup to play at the Biltmore Plaza. It starts on Saturday at 1 o' clock opening ceremonies and then we go on with the Americas Cup for 3 days and on the 24th we start the 19th Caribbean Cup."

Shawn Burke, VP Barbados Darts Association
"We have been training since November last year but the nucleus of our team has been playing darts together for over 8 years also."

Daniel Ortiz
"Are you excited to be in Belize to take part in this tournament?"

Shawn Burke, VP Barbados Darts Association
"Of course I am because I came here with full expectations - hopefully if the team play to it potential I believe that we can do really and possibly win the competition."

Kevin Hicks, Manager - Team Bahamas
"We are looking forward to have a good turnout, hopefully winning the Caribbean Cup this year. It's hard for our team because we are on separate islands but we do individual practice. We've been practicing for about 3 months now and we are going to put on a good show."

The teams continue to arrive Tomorrow.
