Garthwaite, Mitchell & McGeough Light Up the Stage
The Grand Slam of Darts didn’t just deliver drama, passion, and a roaring Deaf crowd — it delivered pure scoring power. Among the many unforgettable moments from the weekend in Leicester, one thing stood out: the relentless sound of the perfect score — 180.
Three names rose above the rest, making their presence known not just through wins, but through unmatched scoring precision:
Scott Garthwaite
Ryan Mitchell
Steven McGeough
Each of these talented players hit an impressive five 180s over the course of the tournament, lighting up the boards and electrifying the atmosphere with every flawless throw. Their ability to find the treble 20 under pressure, time and time again, had fans on their feet, signing and cheering in unison.
But there was one standout performance that had everyone talking — Ryan Mitchell, who managed to hit three of his five 180s in a single match. It was a display of sharp focus and rhythm, and the crowd responded with explosive energy every time he landed another maximum. His darts were flying true, and the buzz in the room with every perfect throw was simply unforgettable.
These achievements are not just stats; they are statements. They reflect the rising standard in DDO darts, showcasing just how competitive, exciting, and elite the sport has become within the Deaf community. It’s proof that the DDO is nurturing serious talent — players who can hold their own under pressure and ignite the stage.
As the Grand Slam wrapped up, fans left with 180s echoing in their memories, and one thought on everyone’s mind: if this is just the beginning, what records will fall next?
One thing’s for sure — the future of Deaf darts is bright, bold, and absolutely thrilling.
