The Dolly Peel has held an impressive 12-hour darts marathon.

The Dolly Peel, on Commercial Road, held a 12-hour darts marathon on Saturday, August 2, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Staff and regulars at the South Shields pub had aimed to raise £500 but instead managed to collect more than £2,000 for the cancer charity.

Around 30 people took part in the event, with some playing darts from 9am until 9pm.

The aim was to achieve a total of 150,000 over the course of the 12 hours, with the group hitting more than 170,000 by the end of the event.
