‘The Asset’ Paul Nicholson comes to Mitchelstown.

This year we are delighted to have the bad boy of world darts 'The Asset' Paul Nicholson for our annual fundraising night on Friday next, October 18th in the Ramble Inn Mitchelstown. This is our 7th darts exhibition in aid of Cystic Fibrosis and they are regarded as one of the best nights out in the calender year.

For Paul, who is one of the biggest names in darts, not just his for his undeniable talent but also for his character and charisma, this will be his first exhibition in this part of the country . A night not to be missed as anything could happen when Nicholson is in town!

Nicholson was dubbed as the 'Aussie-Geordie' by legendary commentator Sid Waddell because he was born in Newcastle and holds Australian nationality. He was the top player on the Australian Grand Prix circuit, winning title after title down-under. Since joining the PDC, The Asset has consistently raised his profile with some electrifying performances and by projecting the image as the bad-boy of darts.

In 2008 he caused a stir on his debut at the grand slam of Darts by beating Gary Anderson, who was then number one in the World Darts Federation rankings.

The following year Nicholson continued to defy the odds with a sensational run to the quarter-finals of the World Championship. He then caused two big upsets by defeating world number six Adrian Lewis and Dennis Priestley, who was one of his idols in the sport, before his sensational run came to an end at the hands of world number three, James Wade.

Nicholson sampled major title success for the first time in 2010 as he increased his tally of wins against higher ranked opponents to win the Players Championship. He beat Lewis in the quarter-final before claiming a sensational semi-final victory over defending champion Phil Taylor, going on to beat Mervyn King to lift the trophy. Later that year, Nicholson moved into the top 16 in the PDC rankings for the first time.

The Asset made the latter stages of several major tournaments in 2011 and 2012 as he continued his march up the rankings. He caused shock waves once again in the UK Open when he knocked out Premier League winner Gary Anderson, before inflicting a further defeat on 15-time world champion Taylor.

In 2012, Nicholson and his Australian team-mate Simon Whitlock finished as runners-up in the World Cup of Darts. His current world ranking is 19.
