Ballymena Junior Darts Academy

We don't post a lot of birthdays/farewells etc but this one is significant

Ollie turns 18 today and is one of our day one family

He started with Carrickfergus Junior Darts Academy in January 2022
He has represented Northern Ireland on the big stage including that first ever win in the group stages of the JDC Junior Darts Corporation World Cup in Gibraltar 2023 in the 2 hour 20 mins match against China
He moved with ourselves when we started our Academy in January 2024
He has struggled with dartitus for years now but remained a great thrower with constant words of encouragement from his pal Peter Wright 🐍 🐍

I'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of Ollie considering he has some great friends here in Ballymena JDC and his younger brother Cameron is still part of the academy system

Keep putting the toe to the oché and we will see you soon buddy 🎯🎯

Only a month away, the start of the Northern Ireland Darts Organisation-NIDO calendar

Anyone looking to compete in the NIDO Majors this year will need to have a parent with them to complete a registration form and code of conduct.

Thursday nights folks 6-9pm back at it 🎯🎯

See you all there 👍🏻👍🏻
