A New Ambassador For Darts

 

For many years the sport of darts has been trying to change its image from a game played by beer bellied fat old men to that of a modern competitive sport. Phil Taylor and a few other players have done a lot to promote the new image of the game but not as much as Trina Gulliver. For the last 5 years she has been voted BDO Sports Personality and this year she was given the title of Midlands Sports Personality of the year after competing with many other famous Midlanders from more glamorous sports.

At 34 she looks more like a model with her long blond hair and looks nothing like the familiar image of a female dart player who is a squat shaven headed, tattooed lesbian with a ring through her nose. Trina has been a professional darts player for the last 4 years and believe it or not before that she was a trained carpenter and joiner. She was born in Warwickshire and has remained a Midlander all her life. Although married she has no children as yet.

Trina Gulliver has been playing darts for over 20 years as she first became interested in the game when she was 14. Since turning professional she has won just about every competition going including the British Open, British Matchplay, Embassy Gold Cup and Winmau World Masters. Ranked at No 1 she is undoubtedly one of the best ambassadors the sport of darts has had for a long time. Hopefully she will remain at the top to promote the game and encourage more young ladies to join in for a long time to come.
