Gemma selected for Wales

The meteoric rise of Cardigan darts player Gemma Bowen continued when the 14-year-old was last week selected for the Wales girls’ team for the Europe Cup in July.

Cardigan Secondary School pupil Gemma has played just four games for Pembrokeshire Ladies B but has thrown superlative darts, which brought her to the attention of the Welsh selectors.

She and Kimberley Lewis of Newport in Gwent will represent Wales in Veldhoven, Holland, (July 9-12).

Welsh Darts Organisation youth officer Sue Getty said: "Gemma is currently playing as well as any girl in the world and has earned her call up.

"I’m sure she will do Wales proud," she said.
