Minstead Community Shop is delighted to sponsor Zachary, a young local lad who is making waves in youth darts across Hampshire. With a dart board at every venue in his busy life - the farm, stables and at home he never stops practicing and this is paying off with many successes and a great recent win at County level. Well done Zach 👏👏
