GARETH CLEMENT
WALES
Gareth joins team Matador following qualification into the finals of the Red Dragon Champion of Champions event. The event is in the old news of the World style format with qualification played in local venues to reach the finals in Cardiff. The format throughout the tournament is a Best of 3, meaning anyone has a chance to go on a great run.
​
Gareth is a fantastic darts player and he qualified for the Champion of Champions in only his second tournament playing sober. He documents, blogs and has stories about his experience of alcohol use and recovery and is now beyond 778 days sober! He documents this on his social channels titled "Grumpy Dumpty" and has amassed over 2k followers on facebook and nearly 1k on X. Our partnership also sees a portion of money donated to the charity Let's Talk Mens Mental Health and we will be doing more work to raise money for the charity in the future!
We're delighted to have Gareth as part of the team!

Adam joins the Matador Darts team with Q School 2024 in his sights. Having followed 'Beefy' personally on twitter for a few years now it's clear to see he's a fantastic player and isn't phased whether he's playing in his house online in the GDL/Scolia or if he's playing at a tournament.
Adam attended 2024 PDC Q School gaining 3 points but missed out on leg difference of making stage 2. In his debut match he defeated major champion Robert Thornton with a 14 darter in the deciding leg.
