Well done Matt. You made your first step. Getting past the nerves is a big step, some players can never get rid of them. The more you play in person, the more comfortable you’ll get, and the faster you’ll improve. Good luck for the future.
Thanks Ash, appreciate mate. Our game scheduled up for Thursday 8th to go live 👀 Appreciate your support of the channel bud, thanks for the note and I agree, great experience! Play again soon!
Love seeing someone getting into and loving the game. I've been playing for the past 4 years and just started getting competitive a year ago, and strongly support anyone wanting to give this game a shot. Never too young, never too old. Tournaments over here in America tend to be a bit different (we usually cram as many events into our tournaments as possible) but I remember losing everything in my first few tournaments. Kept at it and now I'm a state champion with several tournament wins. But that first step is always the most important! Looking forward to seeing your improvement!
Jimmy, thank you for your kind words and sharing your experience. It gives me great inspiration! I would love to play in the US and do the soft tip and cricket games a go! Good luck with your year ahead, keep in touch!
Oh, if you ever want to learn cricket let me know! I know the game isn't played all that much across the pond but it's a wild game once you know how to play and I would love to help spread the game more! @@Darts_Matt
Seen some of your videos, and this one shows you are on the right track. Never doubt your styl and grip. Really steady, continue practising, it'll come. On the long run it looks solid.
Yeah buddy, great to meet you and thanks for looking after me 😂 definitely see you again at a tournament or locally! Yes, I am on Twitter as DartsMatt or email is arrowsmatt@gmail.com if you wanted a game online some time. I'd be well up for that bud, cheers
Great video matt as always. I see u pickin up subscribers on a fast pace as u should. Keep up the good work. And do as many tournaments as u can. That ups your game 🦾🎯
Thanks Griga, it's nice people can relate to my game/journey and I try to just be me. Whether thats good or bad I don't know! Thanks for commenting and supporting, I definitely want to be back soon at the oche! Take care!
Just happened across this video, great first tournament experience. Like others have said, playing against other people in leagues/k.o’s is the best way to get experience. Looking forward to seeing how you progress.
Thanks Jay, that is very kind of you to say. I was nervous but it was much better in my 2nd vlog on my channel I defo played better! Where do you play?
@@Darts_Matt I’ll have a binge watch of your channel later today. I don’t really play anymore (not competitively anyway) due to a persistent elbow problem. But do still like to have a throw now and again at home.
@@Darts_Matt It’s tennis elbow, and even though I did all the physio the drs said it still flares up unexpectedly. It’s okay at the moment though, but it’s been a problem in every day life since 2016, lol. I look forward to a possible game in the future.👍
Haha 😂 I'm not surprised mate, could easily have been me 😂 I did actually chalk his game after I lost. The grouping and consistency was pretty nuts tbh. Where was this, what region?
Good first effort Matt. Familiarity in that kind of environment will definitely raise your level. The more tournaments you enter the more comfortable you’ll feel 👍 Where do you stand on pre match lubricant? 😂 I know I play better, particularly under pressure after a couple of pints but it’s not something I want to rely on. Tricky one 🤔
I might be remembering wrong, but did you go to a place in Milton Keynes to have a practice with good setups? I’m there on the weekend so I’d love to know where that was as I’ve not found anywhere in MK with good setups
@@itmakessens5155ah I'm gutted I'm in Worcester until Sunday night. Best of luck mate. Seriously though, if your back in July and need a room and a practise facility, my spare room, facilities and the darts shed is yours. No charge 🤙🎯
Thanks Glen, it was £10 to enter and pay on the day. Where are you based? Youre basically going to take the step I did 👍😁 I did score and funnily the game I got was Joshua Richardson, and he lost 4-3 and exited stage left quick time! So my brain was working double busy as they were rapid, he averages 98 first 9! It is all electronic tho, so add em quick and type them in. Easy 😁
@Darts_Matt I'm up in the North East - I've had a look and there's plenty nearby, it's just that thought of averaging 38 and looking a bit daft. Ah yeah electronic scoring definitely makes life easier. I can usually do the adding up, it's the taking away that I struggle with 🤣
It's tricky isn't it. I know exactly what you mean. Perhaps start at a pub tournament, rather than a ADC supported one! But either way, I was one of the worst there but still enjoyed it and will only be better for it 👍 just go for it!
Haha, yes it was probably that aswell! Sure, be great to connect. My twitter is DartsMatt or email me and we can set up a game! arrowsmatt@gmail.com 🎯👍 thanks for the support and comment pal! Appreciate it 😁
Thank you very much for the game, was a pleasure to meet you
Top man Juan, you will beat me next time for sure! Send my regards to your father 👊🎯

Thanks Neil, uploaded attempt 2 last week. Also, found out I've been promoted on GDL. Possibility we play eachother soon. Will be fun 🤙👊
Great video and well done for the win. This experience will help so much for your game. Keep up the good work 👍🏼🎯

Loved the lads throw in your second match, 🎯 on point.
I need to get out there and crack on.
I enjoyed watching it, proper Rickie Fowler, Garcia vibes for the golf fans. Thanks mate, enjoyed our game also!
@@Darts_Matt it was emotional 😂
@@AnthonyHitmanFiore let's get that maths sorted buddy, your game is sharp!!!
@@Darts_Matt 😂 1, 2, 10 🤣

That first leg though under that 1st tournament pressure! Fair play bud! 👍🏻
Mate, honestly, I thought I was about to complete it 😂😂😂

@@Darts_Matt yeah you are a nice guy that makes good content. And people see that 🦾🎯

@@Jays_choonz thanks Jay, that's rough and hopefully.
Good to see you playing a tourney, keep it up. Ahh Josh Richardson battered me at ADC regionals a while back 6-0
Haha 😂 I'm not surprised mate, could easily have been me 😂 I did actually chalk his game after I lost. The grouping and consistency was pretty nuts tbh. Where was this, what region?
@@Darts_MattI was playing in the ADC regionals for the Midlands
Absolutely class mate. I Was also at this tournament. Keep up the class videos 💪
Thanks Jack, appreciate the kind words mate. Without me looking, how did you go!?
@@Darts_Matt lost 4-3 in the first round to Danny Humphries
@@jackwoods7716 ah got ya buddy. Unlucky there
Good video mate keep up the practice you’ll get further in no time 🎯🎯
Thanks Jamie, we gotta way to go but here for the journey! Appreciate your support.
No worries bud bit of positive reinforcement never hurt anyone lol 😂
Hoping this channel is for all abilities my man! And a place just for that 👊
Yeah will be good to see you grow hopefully I’ll get a bit of time and have a game against you soon
You fancy trying the uk open qualifier on Saturday in Harlow?
Good first effort Matt. Familiarity in that kind of environment will definitely raise your level. The more tournaments you enter the more comfortable you’ll feel 👍 Where do you stand on pre match lubricant? 😂 I know I play better, particularly under pressure after a couple of pints but it’s not something I want to rely on. Tricky one 🤔
Haha, mate, I gotta tell you I have ALMOST completed dry January but this Saturday was really hard.
Hi Matt nice darts.from Hattie😊😁😃😎
Thanks Hattie! Here's to hoping Darren can mould her into the next Fallon Sherrock! 😅
Well played mate
Thanks again mate! 😁👊
Enjoyed the vid 🎉
Thanks buddy, see you soon for our game! 👍🎯
@@Darts_Matt look forward to it 🤙🏻
I might be remembering wrong, but did you go to a place in Milton Keynes to have a practice with good setups? I’m there on the weekend so I’d love to know where that was as I’ve not found anywhere in MK with good setups
Hi mate! Yea for sure, I'd go for MK Sports Bar in Newport Pagnell! I'll come for a chuck if I can!
@@Darts_Matt cheers mate I’ll most likely be going there sometime later this week
@@Darts_Matt I’ll most likely be there tomorrow, travelling down for Dev tour
@@itmakessens5155ah I'm gutted I'm in Worcester until Sunday night. Best of luck mate.
Seriously though, if your back in July and need a room and a practise facility, my spare room, facilities and the darts shed is yours. No charge 🤙🎯
@@Darts_Matt I appreciate that mate I’ll keep it in mind 🎯
Good effort Matt 👍 how much was entry and did you have to mark any games? That's probably what I'd be most nervous about having only played online.
Thanks Glen, it was £10 to enter and pay on the day. Where are you based? Youre basically going to take the step I did 👍😁

How do you find tournament to enter?
Hello, I typically use the ADC website and Facebook Groups for finding tournaments.
Thanks Matt. 👍
Where was this tournament?
This one was RAF Brize Norton. An ADC ranking event 🎯👍
First tournament is never easy! Congrats on winning a game!
Thanks Mathias! Where do you play?
@@Darts_Matt so i started playing in july and now i have done 7 tournaments and im in a pub league. Im from belgium btw!
Awesome, that's great. You're ahead of me then in your journey. Sounds like you are also really enjoying it.
@@Darts_Matt yes i am and thats the most important thing right? Just having fun!
I wish u goodluck!
what app is the man typing it
I actually don't know the name, sorry. It's used by the ADC. Which you can Google and perhaps do some digging. Thank you
Man the audio is bad.....for the rest congratulations
Developing Darts Player and TH-camr 😅 thank you!
Well played mate
