QUANTOCK SECURES SDM TRIUMPH

RED DRAGON SDM 2016 ROAD TO GLORY @ RILEYS


York ace Chris Quantock took the latest SDM at Riley's in Sheffield he won through the rounds of a tough tournament that included 5 PDC pro tour card holders and seven county players and not to mention a huge gathering of local talent.

Quantock was deadly in his opener against Huddesfield supremo Kieran Evans 4-2 with both men recording maximums and with Kezza sat on tops to level Chris took out a 123 finish on the bull.He then came up against Darren Johnson the current SDM champion and in a extreamly close game the two PDC pro's battled out all seven legs with Quantock shading the win 4-3.Chris then cam up against Steve hattersly one of the very fast improving local players and it was a close game with Chris hitting 3x180s in a 4-1 win.Carl Wilkinson would be his semi final opponent after Carl had recorded wins over Neil Bradly,Liverpools Kevin Garcia and PDC pro Darron "Rooster" Brown who had hit 7x180s in his two previous matches.Carl would level the game at 1-1 but another 2x180's and a 91av was enough to send Chris Quantock through to the final 4-1 over the Sword Carl Wilkinson.Sheffield legend Bob Pinder was the opponent in the final after he had taken out PDPA member Greg Beard in the semi finals 4-1,Pro tour card holder from York Richie Corner 4-2,Doncasters own superman Paul Ashcroft 4-1 and Luara Taylor 4-1.The final could not have been better than the darts we had seen so far today but my god it was Chris kicked off in the final with a 15 dart leg with a 180.Bob with a maximum of his own and a 15 dart leg levelled chris would then go 3-1 in front with a 13 and a 17 with two more maximums before Bob pulled one back with a 180 and a 106 C/O but at 4-2 Chris would win the game in 15 and a 129 outshot.Brilliant game by both men and a great advertisement for local darts
