A young Kilcullen darts player is heading to the JDC World Championships in Gibraltar for his second time, this November.

Jack Courtney (left above), son of Marian and Derek of The Spout, plays with Carlow County Youth Darts and along with fellow member Jamie French has made the JDC Ireland B Team.

The annual event sees 128 players from 16 nations competing, the finalists heading to the PDC World Darts Championship taking place at the Alexandra Palace in London in December.

Jack competed at Gibraltar for the first time last year. The premier event of the Junior Darts Corporation is sponsored by Holiday Inn Express. In addition, the week-long festival of darts includes the Winmau Gibraltar Open and the MVG Masters Open.
