Statement by TUV Braid Councillor Christopher Jamieson:
“I am absolutely thrilled to extend my congratulations to the Northern Ireland darts team on achieving an extraordinary victory at the 2025 World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt. In a gripping final decider, Daryl Gurney and our very own Josh Rock triumphed 10–9 over Wales, clinching Northern Ireland’s first ever World Cup of Darts title .
“As the local councillor representing Broughshane, I could not be prouder to see Josh Rock – our hometown hero – step onto the world stage and deliver such a performance. Breaking the tournament record for 180s made it all the more special.
“Josh’s return to Broughshane will be met with a hero’s welcome. I will be requesting a Mayor’s reception for him. I’ve no doubt that his achievement will inspire future local sports stars.”
