Dynamite continues to blow up the opposition

Sheffield Darts Masters 2 got underway at Riley's in Sheffield with Mexborough's Darren Johnson showing the way against teammate DarrenWeaver in a high quality final..................

Darren Dynamite John would come through the top half of the draw as he would have a familiar foe in the 1st round winning over his big brother Richard Johnson a welcomed player to SDM tournaments.Dynamite would then shake off a scare from Tom Blagg as tom missed darts to level the game at 2-2 before Darren ran out a 4-1 victor.Nicky Bell would prove very difficult to beat as Nicky would rattle in dart after dart in the treble 20 but its was a very high standard display that got Dynamite home 4-2 and then would meet debutant Rob Farrow who had come through 4 very good games performing darts at a high standard but would be beaten by the high class and inform Johnson who recently won his tourcard on the PDC pro tour and had won a dartsmania qualifier only 3 days before this tournament.In the bottom half of the knockout Darren Weaver would kick off hitiing a selection of maximums and he beat former SDM semi-finalist Jason Brooks and quickly followed it up with a 4-1 victory over Masters Plate winner Ben Stainer also hitting a 11 dart leg.Josie Pattison a welcomed addition to the SDM circuit would prove hard to beat for Darren but he came through it 4-1 hitting another 3 maximums and then would come up against former SDM winner Nick White and would be too strong on the day as he went into the last 4 with a 4-2 victory before he and Matt Padgett would rattle off many treble 20s as they both traded maximums too but Darren Weaver came from 3-2 down to win 4-3.Darren Weaver would hit form early as he smashed in his 2nd 11 dart leg of the afternoon before Dynamite rallied to take the next 3 legs but Weaver battle his way back to 3-3 before a 14 dart leg would seal it for Darren Johnson in a high class final that had everything including 2 high finishes,4 180's and 6 sub 15 dart legs.Darren Johnson would got to the top of the points system after taking the win and Weaver would gain all 3 bonus points for the tournament with highest checkout,lowest leg and most 180's and so a good day for both Darren's and UPS team mates .In the losers plate it would be Dan Breedon who would take the spoils over Ryan Barton.

NICK WHITE BECOMES THE 11TH SDM WINNER IN CLOSE FINAL

White wins SDM 2015 as we kickstart the new season

It was the start of the Sheffield Darts Masters sponsored by Riley's Sheffield and Red Dragon and run by Projectdarts 2015 and we kicked into gear with players from all over the u.k but it went to local lad Nick Wipeout White as his form continues to grow.........


The top section of the draw would be very interesting as the first three names out was all former SDM winners as Dave Copley would Take on Darren Johnson and the win of that would go on to face last year grand champion Bob Pinder after he got past a tricky contest over Rob Bradshaw but has fate had it at the very first Sheffield Darts Masters  we had a repeat of last years grand final as Darren Johnson would take on Bob Pinder and would get revenge over him as Dynamite Johnson would go into the 4th round coming through 4-2 and there would take on Kieran Evans after he had come from behind 3 times against his opponents with the closest been against Jimmy Buttery coming back from 3-0 down but his run was to end as Darren Johnson would swiftly move into the Semi-finals with a 4-0 win.
BDO World no1 Jamie Jammie Dodger Wilson would be the opponent for Darren Johnson for the last four as he would let the maximums fly only falling short of the SDM record for most 180's in a single days comp.Jamie beat Tom Briggs 4-0 as both players hit some cracking darts and then would miss out on a 9dart leg but hit a 11 to win his game over Greg Beard and did the same in his win over Pete Bramley narrowly missing out on a 9dart leg and was pushed all the way by Pete but went through 4-2.Jamie would then hit another 2x180s as he got passed Enterprise pub champion Brian Lewis before setting up a mouth watering semi with Darren Johnson.Darren would take the 1st leg before Jammie Dodger hit back just missing out on another 9dart leg knocking in a 10 darter but it was Darren who would take advantage and go on to make the final with a very hard fought 4-3 victory to make another SDM final.

The bottom half of the draw which saw Nick White make the final was a very close fought one as nick would open his comp with a close 4-0 win as every leg could have gone either way.Nick and Nicky Bell's game was a very close 4-3 win in which Nicky would hit 2x180's and nick would hit 2x12 darts legs and a 153 Checkout which would be the highest of the day and then he would run into Matt Padgett after Matt just missed out on a 9dart leg earlier against Josie Pattison when missing double 12.Nick and Matt had a humdinger of a game as Wipeout would go through 4-3,Steve Thompson had come through against Nathan Richards,Lee Slack & Neil Beresford,Nick would go through 4-3 over Tommo and go into the semi-final where he would meet newcomer Andy Hircock after Andy had got through his quarter of the draw which involved Steve Meek,Danny Roberts,Ben Stainer,Rich Brown and Vernon Walsh to mention a few and hitting 5x100 plus checkouts.Nick would register his 5th maximum of the day and go through to his 2nd SDM final to take on Darren Johnson who was making his 4th.Both men continued to hit top form as both men shared maximums and 6 legs under 20 darts but the man from Sheffield would just edge a superb final 4-3 and takes his place at the top of the new leader board for 2015 and a possible place on the PDC tour awaits but he will also go straight into the Protege national final with that win too.
