A dartboard has been fitted three feet from the floor in a Barnsley pub - so three-year-old Alfie 'Bull's Eye' Bagnall can enjoy a game.

The talented youngster has impressed regulars at the Royal Oak in Platts Common, with his skill.

Licensee Liz Hirst told The Publican: "Alfie is really good and knows what he is doing. People watch him and those who are new to the pub get called over to see what he can do."

The board itself is fixed below the adult's board at the Punch Taverns owned pub and it is hoped when Alfie is old enough he can take on some of the adults.

Alfie's mum Claire said: "Alfie started playing darts at just 18 months old and hasn't stopped throwing since. He doesn't throw the darts aimlessly either he regularly gets treble twenties and always hits his doubles and bullseye - not bad for a three year old."
