Paulton is home to one of the true legends of the modern game, Mike Gregory.
Whilst playing in this and other local leagues, Mike became a household name with countless TV appearances and many major wins throughout a 15 + year career as a professional darts player.
Mike was a loyal member of the Somerset County darts team for many years and still plays Superleague for Radstock, itself mainly made up from players from the Paulton League.
