[MMDL] In the News - Wicked Local article featuring Minute Man Dart League

Check out this recent article by Wicked Local's Doug Hastings:

"In the family of sports, darts is probably something like bowling's little brother.

Or maybe the first cousin of billiards.

Most people's impression of leagues like these?

Beer, darts, beer, a little more beer, a few more darts and then, beer.

But before you file throwing darts solely under "guys night out," make sure you chat with Rob Manley or Gregg Tong.

They'll do their best to change your mind."
