A weekly newspaper reporter is set to take on a professional darts player in a charity challenge.

Fermanagh Herald journalist Mark McGoldrick will face Brendan Dolan, a quarter-finalist at this year’s PDC World Darts Championship, this coming Friday.

Mark will be one of 18 players to take on Mr Dolan at The Milltown Manor bar, in the village of Tempo, in County Fermanagh.

All proceeds raised will go towards Macmillan Cancer Support, in aid of Tempo man Paddy Shannon, who is currently living with the condition.

Mr Dolan told the Herald: “It’s great to be doing an exhibition locally in my home county and with all the proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer, which is a very worthy cause.

“With a packed venue, there will be a great atmosphere and buzz on the night, which I hope everyone will enjoy. I am really looking forward to the event.”
