Fantastic news from the World Darts Federation that this year’s World Championships at the Lakeside will include a Girls World Championship on stage at the famous Lakeside Country Club, the “Home” of darts.
Whilst it took 23 years before the value of the Ladies in our sport was recognised, it has taken 44 years for the girls to have the opportunity of becoming a World Champion.
I would like to personally thank all at the World Darts Federation, in particular Deta Hedman who has lobbied the powers at be for this well overdue recognition, and a recognition which finally means our darts encompasses all ages and all genders of our sport.
Thanks also to Richard Ashdown and Nick Rolls, for being the liaison between the executive and the countries of which England’s feels they made a significant contribution to this “Historical and Unique” initiative.
England’s Youth Grand Prix will be a qualifier for the Girls World Championships in 2022 and with 6 events still in the calendar, and open to all and any girls under the age of 18, this really is a chance of a lifetime, and open accessible through England Darts.
The first of these events is being held this coming Sunday at Tamworth and the online entry is open through the England website goto online services.
