🎯 David Munyua's Journey - From Kenya to Ally Pally
Andy Robson is sponsoring David Munyua at the PDC World Darts Championship this year.
David is the first ever Kenyan player to qualify for the tournament, and remarkably, he picked up a dart for the first time just 3 years ago. It's been some journey.
David's first match of the tournament gets underway at around 3:40PM on Thursday, 18th December.
He's playing against Mike de Decker in Round 1, and you can tune in to support David on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Darts, as he makes history for Kenya.
David has never travelled outside of Africa until now, and he's documented his 4,000 mile journey from Kenya to London - you can follow David's trip below, through photos and videos.
