With the first round group stages of the 3rd Dartsmania qualifier we thought we had seen it all until now.......
Group 1
Carl Moorhouse swept all before him to continue to continue his recent form when getting to the autumn open final but Carl winning wasn't the story from G1 it was the match to decide who else went through as Christopher Edwards took on Kirst Nixon and it was a battle and half as it lasted just under two hours with the Ghost Chris edwards going through.
Group 2
Daz Johnson made quick work of the rivalry with Mandy Slack meeting her for the fifth time this year and then beat Carl Wilkinson in a tight game.Carl then went on to take 2nd spot and go through.
Group 3
Turbo Trev Burkhill got the better of a close game with John Daniels and then never dropped a leg as he topped the group and it was John Daniels that also went through beating all in the group after the first game.
Group 4
Lee Cushworth made it into the last 16 topping this group with Kenny Hoult following in 2nd but both pushed all the way by 12yo Owen Cubit.
Group 5
Craig Tango Splash Barrat enjoyed an easy path through by defeating Michael Slack and then the Dark Night himself Dave Copley Leaving the PDO no2 with a mountain to climb to get through but a 4-0 victory over Michael Slack was enough to send him through.
Group 6
The Group of death as Joey Woodcock,Brian Lewis & Tom Sawford filled the top 3 spots with only 3 legs between them but Joey and Brian advancing to the knockout stages.
Group 7
Tom Briggs Had a close 4-3 win over Lee Slack to get the runner up spot for the group but it was Matt Padgett flying in the 180's that won the group for the PDC star.
Group 8
Taylor Greaves and Pete Walsh proved far too good for everyone else in the group as both men looked set to go far after both taking out rising star Lewis Nota.
Last 16
Taylor Greaves was unable to continue as was Matt Padgett for diffrent reasons which we send out our humble apologies for.so Carl Wilkinson and Carl Moorhouse sat in the last 8 and they was then joined swiftly by both Trevor Burkhill and Dave Copley as both men beat Joey Woodcock and Lee Cushworth to set up a mouth watering last 8 tie.Craig Barrat and John Daniels set up another last 8 match as both men got through beating Brian Lewis and Kenny Hoult.Daz Johnson beat Tom Briggs and Pete Walsh set up a tie with CarlWilkinson after another 45min battle with The Ghost Christopher edwards.
Last 8
Daz Johnson went into the semi finals after edging out the Rock Carl Moorhouse and Carl Wilkinson had his task made easier as Pete Walsh failed to finish his game giving the Sword a semi final spot.The last two matches of this round could not have been closer as Trevor Burkhill raced into a 3-0 lead only for Dave Copley to claw his way back for a 4-3 win and the same in the other game as Craig Barrat let slip a 3-1 lead as John Daniels pulled his way into the semi finals also winning 4-3.
Semis & Final
Daz Johnson just missed out on a final spot as he went down 4-3 to the Dark Knight in the all Castle Club battle and another 4-3 in the other game as Carl Wilkinson went through in the all darfield game against John Daniels.With both men booking a place in the grand final of Dartsmania it was a matter of pride and money as Dave Copley rattled off 4 straight legs to win a terrific game 4-1 after Carl Wilkinson had took the 1st.
Dave Copley and Carl Wilkinson now join Sheffield's Trevor Burkhill & Bob Pinder,Rotherham's Lee Cushworth and County Durham's Callan Rydz who had already qualified for the grand final in march.
