Excitement

Dylan Williams, from the Darts Cymru website, said:"It’s exciting to see competitive darts coming to S4C. With the excitement and passion surrounding the sport at the moment, there’s never been a better time for the channel to show its support.

"As a supporter of Welsh darts, being able to watch top-level darts in the Welsh language is something I never thought I’d see."
