There’s never been a better time to sponsor our Fremantle and Districts Darts Association.
With a cool new website, plenty of traction on social media, a bunch of great results, growing membership and Perth’ most elite Premier League competition, why wouldn’t you?
Let’s not forget that the FDDA is WA’s oldest and most successful association and with the profile of the sport growing all the time, we are offering small to medium businesses and easy and affordable opportunity to get on board and help support the growth of the sport in our region.
For just $250.00 sponsors will have their logo on our home page scrolling banner and again in a dedicated sponsors page.
All logos will click through to the businesses own website
We will profile them on Facebook as they come on board and throughout the season.
All events and results are listed on the home page of our site so as traffic increases, as will sponsors brand awareness.
Please help our drive by downloading the following flyer and emailing to any small or medium business you know that might be keen.
Unlike many or probably most of you guys, I don’t know Kyle Anderson. We’ve exchanged a few Facebook messages and I had a quick chat to him back stage at last years Perth Masters but that’s about it. Having said that, you don’t need to know the guy to understand he is an amazing talent, has had his fair share of challenges on getting to where he has, absolutely loves his family, his country and his heritage. Has never forgotten where it all started and is a great ambassador for our sport and our Country.
I thought it might be nice to ask Kyle a few questions (via FB messenger) and document his answers. He’s obviously a humble guy too so I reckon the book is a way off yet but we appreciate his time and hope you guys enjoy the following.
Foreword by Graham Hunt:
Kyle the original – I remember Kyle as a junior playing at Kenwick coaching classes because he was more interested in impressing the girls than playing darts. Luckily it didn’t take long before he realized that he had some potential and started competing for real. Kyle quickly moved up to the week night games where he had to have Mum or Dad there because he was too young to be in the hotel and it didn’t take long before his real potential started to show.
I remember when I played against him and I had to be on my game and you could see the desire and passion in his eyes. I think his Mum Dayle and Dad Norm were a great influence on his darting career. Norm was a great player too but I believe that Norm never reached his full potential because like most parents he was willing to give up his dreams for his kids both Beau and Kyle.
So to Kyle don’t practice until you get it right practice until you can’t get it wrong and remember winners don’t wait for chances they take them. Good luck Kyle the Original Anderson.
So Kyle – How did you get into darts and at what age? As long as I can remember I have been involved in darts. Mum and Dad played and then Beau so I just followed the walk
What age did you start competing and where? Started playing competition from 11 years old C Grade Fremantle District Darts Assoc for the Leopold Hotel. Unfortunately at that time I wasn’t allowed in some venues
At what stage did you make your first rep side and what was the side? Junior team WA 1999, Fairfield NSW Australian Junior Championships
Where did you go from there ie which teams and what comps? Made Fremantle 2nd Division Metro Squad year after, WA juniors for 6 years straight, then to South Suburban. This was back in the days when juniors found it hard to play in associations.
How did you make the transition into PDC? Just tried my luck in the Oceanic Masters which I was fortunate enough to win and the rest is history.
What made you so bloody good? Practice dedication and the right attitude. My family gave me wonderful support and still do
Speaking about support, who helped you along the way and what did they do for you? My biggest influences would be Dad and Beau. My uncles used to come around and want to play darts so found myself on the boards a lot. The older guys such as Graham Hunt, Ossie Ford, Kim Lewis and Mick Hammond provided some knowledge on the game and how to act in pressure situations
What advice could you give to an up and comer wanting to emulate your feats? Just be dedicated and don’t rush. Take the right avenues, learn the board.
Cheers Kyle and from all the members at Fremantle and Districts Darts, good luck with the season ahead.
After many years playing under the name Hamilton Hill Darts Club, the club will now be known as the Cockburn Men’s Dart Club from 2017 on. The lads have been playing out of the Cockburn Bowling Club for a few years so in return for the support and hospitality the bowling club has provided, the committee has made the decision to change the name.
The FDDA wishes the club all the very best with their new brand.

A brilliant performance from Adam Rowe as he represented his Country for the first time at the 2016 WDF Asia Pacific Cup held this October in Osaka Japan in October. In his national team debut, Adam was successful in taking out the doubles with Victorian Justin Thompson, coming third in the singles behind fellow Australian team mates and winning the teams event to be a part of the victorious overall champion team Australia.
As a longtime member of the Fremantle and Districts Darts Association, we are all very proud of Adam and his achievements and look forward to supporting him when he’s required for National duties again.
