Ethan Baines outlined his potential for the future with a
run to the quarter-finals of the Isle of Man Masters in March 2025.

The Runcorn teenager reached the last eight of the WDF men’s
ranking event at the age of just 15, and on the same weekend won the Isle of
Man Classic Youth title.

‘Ballistic’ is a member of the Blackburn Darts Academy and
is also part of Cheshire’s men’s and the Wirral’s youth county teams.

In February 2025, Baines reached his first final on the JDC
Foundation Tour, battling through a field of 200 players before losing out to
fellow Mission Academy player Jake Hobbs in the Event Two decider.
