We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievements of Benjamin Smith. Ben is the wonderful son of Kathryn and Andrew and a cherished member of our Catholic family. Since picking up his darts in July of last year, Ben has progressed with astonishing speed. This is a great start to what promises to be a fantastic sporting journey. His progress is a brilliant testament to his hard work and natural talent.

Competing under the name "The Unleashed", Ben is already making massive waves in competitive play. He is firmly on the right track, currently sitting at the top of the JDC North Series 5 leaderboard. His record is truly a beacon of excellence for other young players. He has secured 14 titles from just 16 JDC Volt events entered, alongside a runner-up and a semi-final finish. Ben has also captured four ADC Vault event victories. This proves his wonderful ability to adapt and triumph across different competition formats.

His scoring statistics are deeply impressive. Ben recently recorded a phenomenal 109.98 average in a final. He frequently maintains an average over 100 across the knockout stages of his competitions and regularly produces consistent averages above 90. He has managed to unleash strong scoring bursts, frequently starting legs with scores of 140, 140, and 140. During a recent national-level JDC Foundation Tour event in Ellesmere Port, he was the only player to achieve an 11-dart leg. At that same competition, he recorded the highest checkout and finished a magnificent 12th out of 242 competitors.
