ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Essex Sport

Available for over a year

An East Thurrock teenager holds ambitions of becoming a professional darts player. George Ping, 13, has been playing the sport for nine years, inspired by his dad Chris, who spent a lot of time on the professional tour. He is known as 'Little Pingo' due to his small stature, which saw George previously use a chair to collect his darts and develop a unique throw. George joined the Junior Darts Corporation this year - and wants to become professional in the next three to seven years. Warren Muggleton met George and his dad Chris at the East Thurrock Community Association.
