We are also pleased to support any BDDA events in the future as we work together to deliver darts for everyone in the grassroots game’.

BDDA Deputy Chairman Shane Havard will be working closely with the UKDA board on behalf of all disability darters in this partnership.

Shane commented by saying ‘I’m excited that we get to work alongside Johnny and his team, and I’m looking forward to seeing our organisation grow.’
