Mike De Decker and Jermaine Wattimena joined a group of Wolverhampton schoolchildren and local boxer Conah Walker for the latest Bullseye Maths session on Wednesday.

The PDC's award-winning Bullseye Maths scheme promotes numeracy, with sessions featuring numbers-based games and worksheet activity to engage primary school pupils with maths and darts.

Wednesday saw a group from Woden Primary School visit WV Active Aldersley to experience a special Bullseye Maths session during the Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts at the venue.

They were joined by World Grand Prix champion De Decker and European Championship finalist Wattimena during the session.

In addition, local boxing star Walker - who will fight Lewis Ritson in Birmingham on November 30 - also showed his support for the scheme by taking part and helping pupils during the session.

"Since we launched Bullseye Maths in 2022 we've enjoyed many fun sessions and this was a great afternoon spent with Woden Primary School," said Bullseye Maths co-ordinator Gary Horsley, who led the session.

"Mike and Jermaine were brilliant with the pupils and shared their experiences with maths, and it was a bonus to have a local sports star like Conah join us too."
