MARK WILD (Sutton Sports) Nickname: 'Spidey' or ‘The Real Deal’ Favourite Double: Double 16 Mark was back in the top 40 of the Dynamic averages last season, but we know he is capable of being much higher still. Mark supports Birmingham City, but the local authorities still refuse to accept this as a disability on his blue badge claim form. Mark, it is claimed, will drink anything ..... except Hobgoblin ale at Nuneaton! New nickname 'Spidey'. Why? Well you know when it is Wildy's round. Your empty glasses have cobwebs on them!

DANE VICKERS (Sutton Sports) Nickname: 'The Milky Bean Kid' or 'Danegermouse' Dane is starting his third season and showed great promise in his first two, culminating in his qualifying for the final stages of the English Nationals at Blackpool last season. He was put out by former world champ John Walton in the end, but it is all good experience

IAN MCFARLANE (Sheldon League) Nickname: 'Ginger' What do you mean ginger? He's strawberry blonde so lets have no more of that! Quickly established in County squad after joining the Superleague with Shard End. Subsequently joined PDC circuit. A cracking 5th place in the dynamic averages in 2009-10, followed it up with another top 20 finish in his first season at Sutton. Oh, and that shirt is apparently a medium!!

JIMMY COLLINS (Deers Leap) Nickname: Skippy Jimmy played for Erdington last season, where he had considerable success adapting quickly to the 501 format. The rest of the side know Jim well from local leagues, where he has won a number of sinles & doubles titles over the years so we have no doubt Jim should settle into the side quickly.

MATT GALLETT (Sheldon League) Nickname: 'The Lad'
Had a great County Youth record with Warwickshire and broke into the
full County squad at the start of this season after a great Superleague
season for us in 2010-11. Took part in the inaugral PDC Youth tour last
year. Won the Sutton Sports team averages last season, narrowly edging
out Ian McFarlane & Mark Birch.

JOHN KAVANAGH (Sutton Sports) Nickname: ‘JK'
Favourite Double: Scotch
JK
is the only accountant in the side but
is also the worst checker (Hmmm). JK is also living proof that
vegetarian diets are NOT healthy. Not really put it together in
Superleague for a couple of seasons now, so hopefully it's time for that
to change.

MARTIN BROWN Nickname: to be advised
Has plenty of Super League and County experience having made his County debut in 1995. A great addition to the squad. His Superleague averages just seem to get better and better every season lately which is good news for Sutton.

BARRIE LINNECOR (Sutton Sports) Nickname: ‘The Cube’ or ‘Witness the Fitness’ Lookalike: Barry Evans (Eastenders) Baz
is the team's top motivator, but charitable too. Baz's last team shirt
was flown out to Africa where it helped make 3 family tents. As Rob has
moved on this year, and Norty is away there is little competition to Baz
in the worst dressed category. Baz was a massive miss over the last
couple of seasons, playing only a handful of games. Superleague Record (2005-06 to present):

TONY LEWIS (Plough) Nickname: 'Youth' Team
skipper who works tirelessly on and outside match nights. He may have a
few more years on the clock than the rest of the side but is still in
incredible shape. He would probably beat the lot of us over 100 metres!
Tony's fitness & longevity could well be down to his sensible diet,
and his healthy tea-total lifestyle. The rest of us sat down, discussed
& weighed up the benefits to us as a team if we all followed suit,
and came to the unanimous decision..................Nah!

ADAM GALLETT (Sheldon League) Nickname: 'Popeye'
Work commitments hampering him this season, but a top young player who
didn't do himself justice last year in Superleague. Nailed on winner if
we ever have a team arm-wrestling competition.

BRIAN JOHNSON (Sheldon League)
General secretary of the Warwickshire Darts Organisation. Has spent many years involved in the running of the County set up and Warwickshire Superleague. It is certainly difficult to think of many who could possibly have put more into local darts over the years than Brian.
