Plumber participates in World Darts Championship after shift
Posted: Wednesday, December 20th, 2023
Cameron Menzies went from a shift working as a plumber to winning his first-round match at the World Darts Championship, Sky News reported. Menzies, who is a plumber by trade, had to work a half-shift before facing Austrian Rusty-Jake Rodriguez at Alexandra Palace. Before the championship, he changed a waste basin, fixed a burst water main and repaired a kitchen sink before winning 3-0 to secure his place in the second round. He said: "I was working but it kind of chilled me out, it made me realise that darts is a hobby and a very lucky one, too. "I changed the waste in a basin, I couldn't get the pedestal out because it was concreted in. Then I did an emergency which was a burst water main, and I fixed it, then I went to a tenant's house to fix a bath and she wouldn't let me in.” The Scottish darts player lost to Dave Chisnall in the second round on Saturday, 16 December but was back at work on Monday at 8am.
