[MMDL] Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man! John Lowe event recap...

Big Thanks again to everyone who came out for our recent evening with John Lowe.  The fun and laughs were plentiful and we hope to continue to provide opportunities for the MMDL community to celebrate their love of darts with us and meet and compete with the world's many ambassadors of the game.

Please enjoy the following recap of John Lowe's professional exhibition with the MMDL...

Cometh The Hour, Cometh The Man!

By Mark Stokes

Four hours in the company of former world champion John Lowe, on Friday evening last (December 16), was both enthralling and frustrating for the sizable crowd at the IBEW Hall in Boston.

The man himself is as charismatic as he is brilliant and his rapport with the crowd during the evening would have been the envy of the best stage performers. The big Englishman did not disappoint with a masterclass of darts, yet for all but ten minutes of the evening it was frustrating for the throng of Minute Man Dart League fans present.

Holly Frary had handed the big man his first 'defeat' of the evening, but when the Salem phenom appeared poised to record an historic victory she came undone at the vital moment, allowing John to take victory in the best-of-three series.

Holly's loss wasn't the first time the crowd felt deflated as they cheered on each and every thrower who came to pit their wits against this legend of the game.
