CAMMY QUITS PLUMBING JOB!

By Aaron Nijjar

CAMERON MENZIES has quit his plumbing job to pursue his dream of being a full-time darts player.

World No. 36 Menzies picked up his second PDC senior title this year.  

‘Cammy’ defeated former World champion Peter Wright 8-3 in the final of the Players Championship 11 in Leicester earlier this month.  

The Ayshire thrower wrote on X: “Officially done with the plumbing game for at least 2 years.” 

Menzies has been in terrific form this year reaching THREE ProTour finals.  

He also reached the quarter-final of a European Tour tournament for the first time since 2019 at the European Darts Trophy last month. 

Former Grand Slam quarter-finalist Menzies announced his intention to leave his daytime trade after beating fellow Scot Wright.  

He said: “I’m leaving my job soon to take up darts full-time.  

“It is genuinely crazy, my darts career is kicking off, it’s my dream. 

“I’m not as good as I’d like to be yet, but I’m heading in the right direction. This means a lot to me because it proves the title I won last year wasn’t by luck. 

“I know how well I’ve been playing and I wouldn’t have been disheartened if I hadn’t won another title because my two previous years on tour have been nowhere near this standard. 

“That’s two finals, two wins and a couple of semis. I don’t know what to say because I thought the first one was lucky to win.  

“To win two, I’m buzzing. It wasn’t luck, if that makes sense.” 

Menzies returns to action today (Saturday) and faces Kevin Doets in round one of the German Grand Prix.
