Leigh Neary will soon need a bigger mantelpiece, more wall space and a larger display cabinet.
For the 15-year-old darts ace's fledgling career has already taken him to the brink of international recognition in just two shorts years picking up plenty of accolades along the way.
The teenager has a living room bulging with trophies, medals and pictures and his sporting career has already seen him take on ten-times World champion and current number one Phil Taylor albeit for charity up until now.
Leigh now competes for the Colchester senior side in the Essex Super League, as well as the youth pairs, which he has done for the past two seasons.
He also finds time to play for the Clacton seniors and since being picked for the county side remains unbeaten.
His numerous achievements have resulted in him being nominated for a place in the England youth side.
Leigh said: "It would really be a dream to play for them and maybe it will happen one day soon."
