HE is known as the Tiny Terrier – but that hasn’t stopped schoolboy darts prodigy Lewis Sinagoga mixing with the big boys.

At just ten years old he cuts a diminutive figure on the oche, but such is his talent his local league has changed the rules so he can compete with the adults.

Lewis has now won five games out of six, nailed a 180 and hit an 18-dart leg of 501.

“He just had to show that he was tall enough to retrieve his darts and has to throw from the same distance as the others,” said his proud mum, Natasha.

Arrows pundits believe the Thornhill Primary School pupil has more than enough talent to emulate Southampton’s fellow left-hander Les Wallace, who became a world champion in 1997.

Lewis has already played some of the top names in the sport, with games against professionals Raymond van Barneveld, Paul Nicholson and Peter Manley– earning him the nickname the Tiny Terrier.

Lewis was even picked to represent Hampshire under-18s at the age of just nine, having first picked up a dart at the age of three.

He plays in the Southampton Clubs League for Freemantle Social Club on a Monday night with his dad Darren and uncle Keith Elrick.

Lewis’s talents have been nurtured by Andover Unicorn Darts Academy volunteers.

The academy’s Mike Thorne said: “If he carries on showing his undoubted strengths he could become a world champion one day.”
