A Co Antrim construction firm is sponsoring one of our most promising young darts stars, allowing him to travel to an international competition.

Hagan Homes in Ballyclare is supporting Craig Murtagh (17) from Larne as he prepares for the 2024 JDC World Championships and World Cup in Gibraltar in November.

Craig has been throwing darts since 2018 when he was inspired by seeing Michael van Gerwen on the oche, and has become the number one youth darts player here.

“I’m beyond excited to represent Northern Ireland and compete in Gibraltar,” he said.

“Darts has changed my life in so many ways, and I’m grateful for the support from Hagan Homes.”

Hagan Homes founder James Hagan said: “We believe in investing in our communities and nurturing young athletes.”
