Carrickfergus Junior Darts Academy, County Antrim

The only club of its type in Northern Ireland, Carrickfergus JDA offers the best possible platform for their members to develop as young darts players; to improve numeracy (counting and mental arithmetic being key skills); and grow in a safe environment (meeting new people, making friends on common ground).  Always looking to upgrade their facilities, they applied for funding towards equipment (dart boards, surrounds, lights and purpose-built oches) and academy “uniform” (darts shirts).  A grant of £500 from the Clothworkers’ NI Fund was endorsed.
