Darts Daft Immers Eyeing Play-offs Bullseye With Cardiff

By Ian Gordon

Darts mad Lex Immers wants to hit the play-offs bullseye with Cardiff.

The dead-eyed Dutchman showed he can find the net as easily as hitting a treble 20 with his first goal for the Bluebirds in a vital win at Huddersfield.

Immers is so keen on his arrows that he is eyeing a career in the professional ranks once he finishes with football.

But for now he insists reaching Wembley in May is no flight of fancy after the win left his new team just three points off the top six.

The loan signing from Feyenoord, 29, said: “I do love darts and it something for the future.

“But the reason I came to Cardiff was to get into the play-offs which is the most important thing.

“I would love to play at Wembley and we can definitely get there, but first we have to make the top six.

“That’s the first thing we have to concentrate on. But absolutely there is enough quality in the squad to do that.

“We did a really good job against Huddersfield but now we have to get another three points at home to MK Dons this week.

“I haven’t played that many matches in the last few months so I am happy with the confidence from the gaffer that he put me directly in the squad and I could give that back with the goal.

“This goal has given me a big boost for the next few games.

“I think I do have a knack for scoring.

“I’ve showed here that I can score. It was not the most hardest goal but, hey, it was in and now I want to score more.

“I was laughing on the bench after being subbed when Huddersfield made it 2-3, saying it was typical in the English league that in injury time a team can score twice.

“But it was good that it stayed the same scoreline.”
