The BSDL was formed in October 2018, giving locals an opportunity to play darts from the Professional distance of 7' 9 1/4" as at the time there was only a 6 foot league that operated in the Bulwell area.

We approached the landlord Darren Faulkner at the Top House asking if he would like to host the league competition(s), which he happily accepted and he soon began revamping the Venue to accommodate more dartboards to allow the growth of the constitution.

We began with just 2 Leagues of 8 players, playing 6 legs of darts each Thursday, we soon expanded and ran a Monday evening league for a couple of years, but had to withdraw this due to the lack of player availability.

We now currently have 4 Leagues running on a Thursday using the Standard Promotion / Relegation process each season, with the seasons running for 24 weeks, we have also introduced the double in / Double out format in to the Thursday leagues, With Jan - June being the standard straight off format and July - December being the DIDO format.

As of October 2024 we are now running a Fortnightly Competition on a Tuesday evening at Bestwood Road Sports & Social Club.
