 Luddington also has a long history with darts, with players from the village winning county trophies in the past and also having players from the village being represented in the News of the World Darts Championship in the 1960s and 1970s.In the early 1980s the local pubs in Luddington came together to create the Ted Coulson Darts Trophy as a tribute to village darts player Ted Coulson, who was well known nationally in darts but passed away whilst playing a game of darts in Crowle.The trophy was competed for every January and was open to all darts players from Luddington or players playing for pub teams locally.
