Pat Gallacher Honoured

At this year’s State Teams Championships, long-time Fremantle member and Committee man Pat Gallacher was presented with Darts Western Australia’s highest honour by being awarded Life Membership.

Pat has been a well-known identity within the darting community for many years, not only as a player but a mentor and administrator and is highly respected by the entire WA darting community.

In an emotional presentation after the Championships, newly appointed DWA President Ricky Pickett spoke highly of Pat’s darting achievements over the years along with the contribution he has made to the game.

Congratulations Pat…..very well deserved.

Darts WA State Teams Championships ‘Round Up’

The Belmont Sports & Recreation Centre was at full capacity last weekend with 241 players from all over the State taking part in the Darts WA State Teams Championships. It was a ‘Who’s Who’ of the WA darting world with the cream of the States players all in action.

Pat Gallacher and his chargers reigned supreme in Division 1 and after dropping only one game all weekend were rewarded for their efforts with ‘Gold’…….well done to Pat and the boys on a brilliant win.
