🎯 Meet Huw Ware, the trailblazing darts referee who’s taking the world by storm! 🌟
From shaky legs on his debut to the centre stage at the 2025 World Darts Championship, Welsh referee Huw Ware’s life transformed overnight. He made history alongside 17-year-old Luke Littler, the youngest ever world darts champion, by becoming the first openly gay referee to officiate a World Championship final. It was a moment that catapulted him into the media spotlight, but Huw stayed true to himself, embracing the visibility that inspires many. 🌈
Huw’s journey hasn’t been without challenges, including tackling unsporting behaviour. A viral clip of him calling out disruptive fans in Germany showcased his no-nonsense approach, earning respect across the darts community. “Visibility breeds visibility,” Huw says, emphasising the power of being seen.
Since his early days, he’s become a respected figure in the sport, even launching ‘Out on the Oche,’ darts’ official LGBTQ+ group. The aim? Making darts as inclusive as possible. With the sport booming globally, his vibrant podcast, Tops and Tales, is set to expand its reach, bringing in personalities from various fields.
Huw’s passion for the game and his role in it is unmatched. “It’s amazing to be at the forefront of darts,” he says, looking towards a future where the sport soars even higher. 🏆
