Oban & District Darts Youth Academy

🎯 ODDYA IS BACK! 🎯

After the summer break, we’re back in action on Tuesday 25th August, jumping straight into Night 8 of Season 4!

🏆 Champions League
🎯 Premier League

Then on Tuesday 1st September, JDC Routine Season 5 gets underway!

🌍 There’s plenty to play for this time around, with qualification places for TWO of our members at the Winmau World Masters in Aylesbury up for grabs across Seasons 5 & 6! 🏆

We will explain exactly how qualification will work very soon.

Looking forward to getting everyone back together, getting the darts flying again and seeing who’s been putting the practice in over the summer… 👀🤣🎯

⭐ NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! ⭐
If you fancy giving darts a go, come along and get involved — all abilities welcome! 🎯

See you all on the 25th! 🔥

Massive congratulations to our academy player Dylan Morris who has successfully qualified and been invited back to the Highland Darts Association super league finals day 🎯

The super league is not for the faint hearted and to qualify is a big achievement 👏

Another one from our academy made it down to the finals 🎯

Good luck to Dillon and enjoy the experience 💥

A massive good luck to Aiden Michie and Ollie Carroll as they make the long trip down to Styx in Glenrothes today to compete in the JDC Volts Regional Finals!

Go and smash it, lads! 💪🎯 But most importantly, enjoy the day, soak up the experience, and have fun.

You’re both doing ODDYA incredibly proud, and we’ll all be cheering you on from Oban.

Good luck, boys! 💙🧡🎯

Darts is off tonight folks.

Sorry to everyone who was planning to play, but we’ve also had quite a few messages from players unable to make it, so we’ve decided to call it off.

We’ll update the page soon with our plans for after the summer holidays.

Thanks to everyone for your support, and we’ll see you all after the summer 🎯

🎯 ODDYA Premier League – Weeks 6 & 7 Update 🎯

Firstly, apologies for the delay in getting the updates out!

Over the last two weeks we’ve seen some fantastic darts, and in Week 7 we introduced a small format change. Following the success of the 33 Darts challenge, games now finish on a single number rather than the bullseye. The players have really got the feel for the format now, and it’s time to start finishing games a little closer to the real thing! 👏

🔥 Bonus Points (2 Weeks Worth) 🔥

100+ Scores

* Lewis Aitken – 120, 100, 100, 100
* Ollie Carroll – 122, 105
* Barrie Devine – 101
* Aiden Michie – 134
* Rachel Scott – 100
* Fraser Wotherspoon – 100
* Innes Cameron – 100

🎯 60+ Checkouts

* Ollie Carroll – 66

The league table is starting to take shape now, with Ollie Carroll and Rachel Scott both racing up the standings. However, it is Lewis Aitken who continues to lead the way, topping his group regularly and collecting bonus points almost every week. Outstanding consistency from Lewis! 🔥

⭐ Star Players (Across Weeks 6 & 7) ⭐

🎯 Lewis Aitken – Solid darts week after week and setting the standard at the top of the table.

🎯 Ollie Carroll – Really upping his game recently and picking up some vital bonus points.

🎯 Barrie Devine – Strong group performances and his darts are improving every week.

🎯 Conor MacNeil – Topped his group for the first time in Week 7. A great achievement and thoroughly deserved.

📅 Looking Ahead

This Tuesday sees Week 8, which will be our final night before the summer break. After that, we’ll return later in the year for Weeks 9 & 10, followed by Finals Night.

That gives everyone plenty of time to practice, improve, and come back ready to battle for medals, trophies, and league honours! 🏆🎯

See you all on Tuesday!

🎯 ODDYA Champions League Update 🎯

Firstly, apologies for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks!

With just 3 weeks remaining, the Champions League is really starting to heat up. The standard of darts continues to improve week on week, and at the top of the table it’s incredibly tight, with just 2 points separating Dylan Morris and Christopher MacLaurin in the race for the title.

We had originally planned to finish the league after Week 8 this Tuesday, but with things being so close at the top, we felt that wouldn’t be fair. Instead, we’ll take a break over the holidays after Week 8, giving everyone plenty of time to practice during the summer break before we return for Weeks 9 & 10, followed by Finals Night.

Bonus Points (Last 2 Weeks)

🎯 Dylan Morris – 180
🎯 Miller McCloskey – 177
🎯 Christopher MacLaurin – 174

💥 Sean Thomson – 103 Checkout

A special mention must go to Donald Campbell, who has won the competition for 2 weeks running. It’s fantastic to see Donald getting back to his best and racing up the league table. If he can keep this form going, we could be in for an incredible finale to the season.

⭐ Star Players (Last 2 Weeks) ⭐

🎯 Alfie Brook – Four semi-final appearances in a row and knocking loudly on the door. Surely a breakthrough win can’t be far away.

🎯 Donald Campbell – Back-to-back weekly victories and flying up the standings. A real contender heading into the final stages of the competition.

Good luck to all players as we head into the closing stages of what has been a fantastic Champions League season so far! 👏🎯

Youth events till the end of the year 🔥

🎯 ODDYA JDC Academy Open 2026 🎯

Today we hosted the ODDYA JDC Academy Open.

While attendance was a little lower than we had hoped, that certainly didn’t stop the 18 young players in attendance from putting on a fantastic display of darts throughout the day. 👏👏

A massive thank you goes to the players who travelled a considerable distance to support the event. We know it’s no easy task travelling on a Sunday, especially after many of you were still up watching Scotland’s World Cup match into the early hours! 🫣

A special thank you to:

🎯 Alfie Robertson
🎯 Max Easdon
🎯 Arron Dove
🎯 Joey Hughes
🎯 Jackson Glen
🎯 Tyler Glen

Your support and effort to make the journey to Oban is greatly appreciated.

The format consisted of a round robin group stage, with the top two players from each group progressing to the quarter-finals.

Quarter Finals

🎯 Arthur Handley 3 - 4 Tyler Glen
🎯 Alfie Robertson 4 - 0 Jack Cassells
🎯 Max Easdon 4 - 0 Joey Hughes
🎯 Lewis Campbell 0 - 4 Dylan Morris

On-Stage Semi Finals

🎯 Max Easdon 4 - 0 Dylan Morris
🎯 Alfie Robertson 4 - 1 Tyler Glen

On-Stage Final

🏆 Alfie Robertson 4 - 1 Max Easdon 🏆

What a final it was.

Two Scotland International players producing a superb standard of darts on stage, with both players averaging over 75, giving everyone in attendance a real treat to watch. 😮‍💨🔥

With the lower attendance numbers, a huge thank you to Me - Morris Electrical for increasing the prize fund to make sure that the final 4 received a worthwhile payout. 👏👏

Finally, thank you to every player, parent, supporter and volunteer who helped make the day possible.

Roll on the ODDYA JDC Academy Open 2027! 🙌🎯🏆🙌
