Four Dragons stars were brought down to earth with a bump as they came face to face with 13 times world darts champion Phil Taylor.

Rhys Thomas, Kevin Morgan, Gareth Maule and Shaun Connor took on Taylor in Porthcawl last week as part of a campaign to promote darts in pubs.

They each took part in a shoot out with the darts star, and Rhys "Stinky" Thomas lived up to his nickname when Taylor described him as "the worst player I've ever seen".

Thomas said: "I'm pretty devastated. I've not really been practising and I folded under the pressure."

Only Dragons powerhouse Shaun O'Connor had the distinction of beating Taylor, albeit with a little help from the scorer.

Rugby fan Taylor is sponsored by ale brand Worthington's and is travelling the UK to help put darts back at the heart of the pub.
