 The captain of a darts team that drinks
 ten pints of bitter during a game has  
 banned alcohol to halt a losing streak.
                                        
 The Mug House players have finished    
 bottom of the league for the past four 
 years and have had 50 straight defeats.
                                        
 Pub landlord John Adkins, who plays in 
 the team at Clainjs, near Worcs, said: 
 "One regular feature is for mjmbjrs of 
 our team to miss the board completely."
