It was a moment on the oche that will go down in history.
Paul Taylor from Mattishall will recount the story forever after he secured an iconic nine-dart finish during a knockout game in the SN Motors Dereham dart league, with his incredible moment at the Mattishall Sports and Social Club.
Mr Taylor, who has been playing the sport for 40 years, was amazed he pulled off the feat.
“I went a little nuts when it happened,” he said.
“I hit 180 back to back, then checked out on 141, with a treble 20, treble 19, and double 12. I do not hit many 180s, but when I did, I got butterflies, thinking, what if I get the second one?
“When I hit that second I was pretty excited, I was playing well, I was so relaxed throwing the darts, thinking if I hit this it'd be amazing, but if it doesn’t, it doesn't.
“But when it hit, I screamed out, ‘get in there’, and jumped in the air and shook hands with everyone around me, the guy I beat had never seen one. I was the talk of the night and the next few days - I also got a number of drinks brought for me.”

The news spread across the Norfolk darts scene, as Bryan Head, darts league chairman, who was scoring a game in another venue was texted the news shortly after the moment.
“I could not believe it, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment,” he said.
“I wished I was there, It is outstanding when you watch professional darts, there is only a couple of every competition. But I’ve been on the committee for 17 years and chair for six years and it's the first time I’ve heard of a nine-dart finish.”
What is a nine-darter?
For those not familiar with the sport, a nine-dart finish is similar to a 147 in snooker, a hole-in-one in golf, or a 300 score in bowling - not impossible, but demands a huge amount of skill and a little bit of luck.
A nine-dart finish is the perfect leg of darts, in which the player gets their 501 score down to zero in the fewest amounts of darts possible - nine.
It is regarded as an extremely difficult feat to achieve even for the sport's top players, and is considered the highest single-game achievement in the sport, since 1984 with televised darts, only 84 players have achieved this.
