Damon Heta claimed victory in Brisbane last weekend in one of the biggest surprise stories of the year in darts and speaking ahead of the next event in Melbourne, he admitted that he hopes to inspire other players.
He added that in his opinion Australian darts is getting bigger and better and that there will be more and more like him who try to make it and 'take over'.
“Hopefully that (winning in Brisbane) can give much belief to anybody,” said Heta.
“They will hopefully be saying ‘if he can do it, what’s stopping anyone else.
“Australian darts is getting bigger and better. There is going to be a wave of Australians over there (on the PDC tour) and we are going to take over."
'The Heat' said that it was always his goal to do well in the triple header of tournaments and after failing in the past he wanted to give it another go and of course it came with brilliant results.
“I am aging pretty fast,” he joked. “That was my aim from the start to do well in these tournaments.”
“I have been there once and to myself I failed."
“I wanted to give it another go and my mind is set and that’s it.”

- Yes, she is extremely beautiful, sure she went out with Webster(Mark) so doesn't have much taste in men for someone so stunningly beautiful. Aileen is very attractive as well, she kisses every time she throws.richieburnettrocks29-11-2024
- I am attending most of the week and quite looking forward to it. Not sure it has any TV coverage and that won't help. I haven't seen Paul Lim at Lakeside since 94 when John Part completely blitzed him. I would like to see Gary Stone win, talented but not had much success at the championship.

- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
