Damon Heta will brave a midnight alarm-call to compete in the Unibet Home Tour on Sunday from Australia, as the home-broadcast event reaches new shores.
Reigning Brisbane Darts Masters champion Heta returned home to Perth in March alongside fellow Australian Kyle Anderson, having made his World Championship debut and won a PDC Tour Card during a successful opening stint in the UK.
Heta plans to return to the UK full-time once worldwide restrictions ease, but has returned to his former profession of roofing in the short-term.

That means a midnight alarm call ahead of starting play at 0230 local time (1930 BST) – matching Hong Kong’s Kai Fan Leung in aiming for a successful 5am finish on his Australian Monday morning.
