Darlow & Meek Sweep Up Projectdarts Weekend

A tough weekend of darts with The Tiger on his way to Qschool and Steve Meek through to the Cosmo world series finals.......

we start the round up with the Club Qschool qualifier and with Pete Jacques winning the final of this one last year and seeing what he has done all eyes was on Rotherham at the players bar for this one.

Group 1

Tony Darlow was inspired as he had a 5-1 win over Steve Rumble hitting 3x180s in the game and in game two Owen had the same but went down 5-4 to the Manic Ryan Goffin.Tony Darlow then hit another 2x180s in a great win over Cubitt and Rumble just got the better of Ryan Goffin to go joint 2nd.The Tiger Tony Darlow hit ryans chance of getting through the group with a 5-0 win and Rumble followed him through doing the same to Cubitt.

Group 2
Tony molyneaux only dropped one leg on route to the next round recording a 5-1 win over Grreg Beard and bloodless shut outs of Sam Walker and Chris Keane.Greg would also qualify despatching Chris and Sam.

Group 3

Bob Pinder would take advantage of an error by Tom Gurran and win the opener 5-2 and with Carl Wilkinson not dropping a leg it came down to Carl and bob to see who would win the group as both men had qualified but Bob was faultless and won the group with a 5-0 win over an out of sort Carl.

Group 4
This one was a nail biter with everyone beating each other and Mark Gurran needing to beat Kieran evans to stand a chance of qualification which he did and then won a playoff to top the group and go through with Kieran and an unlucky Pete Bramley just missing out by one leg.

Last 8

Tony Darlow continued to be very impressive winning 5-1 over Evans who started well.Carl Wilkinson beat fellow Barnsley star Tony molyneaux and it was Carl back on form to go through 5-2.Match of the afternoon was Bob Pinder and Greg Beard with a 5-3 win for bob but all legs under 20 darts.Mark Gurran had a chance to level at 3-3 but eventually went down 5-3 to Steve rumble as the former Players bar man went into the last 4.

Steve Rumble

Semis

Bob Pinderhit legs of 13,20,15 but went down 5-3 to Steve rumble who was starting to look hungry for a return to wigan in January and his spot back on the pdc tour as he hit Bob with 20,21,15,15,19 to book his place in the final 5-3.The Tiger looking as keen as Steve would go through 5-3 against Carl but after been 4-0 up was made to work hard for the line winning 5-3 and thwarting the comeback by Wilkinson.tony hitting 14,14,19,18,18 and Carl 21,15,20 and them both sharing 4 maximums.

Final

Tony was at his best as he won the final 5-2 and all legs below 20 with Steve hitting a 14 and 18 and tony following his semi final exploits 14,18,20 to win the match and a place at qschool in January

Tony Darlow

We finish the round up with the Cosmo Qualifier which was very interesting contest with Steve Meek
proving a very tough nut to crack as he was in good spirit in his group qualifier winning Ryan Goffin 4-3,Mark Gurran 4-1 and Tom Gurran 4-1 but then fell 4-0 to Bob Pinder but came through the group 2nd and it would not be the first time he met the Hellraiser on the day.Steve Thompson,Jack Kerr and Owen Cubitt along with Kiron Potts and Jake Rhodes had a brilliant group for the spectator with 3 men finishing on 6 points and with owen shading it on leg difference it was left to Steve & Jack to play a one leg shootout with Jack edging the win.The first semi final would go to Bob Pinder with a decisive last leg to clinch victory over Jack Kerr and Steve Meek clearly liking this competition now as he rattled off 9 legs without reply winning his semi final 4-0 and then tottaly reversing the ealier match with Bob Pinder by winning the final 5-0 and taking his place in December in the cosmo world Series finals.Jack Kerr won the battle for 3rd and Kieron Potts won the plate final in a fine 2-1 win over Ryan Goffin.

Things are hotting up as we draw into the home straight of the Pikado Liga for 2017 with the league cut short we close in on the finish.Steve Hatterlsey still leads the way with Ben Beardmore closing in to 1point with John Lieber and Pete Bramley leading the chasing pack and with the league splitting into two division next season the top 16 places are a must fight too.
This weeks round up see a cracking game between Shaun Greenfield and Liam Johnson the 4-3 this produced was nothing short of edge of seat stuff with all legs under 24 darts and 5 under 20 and at 3-3 it is always a classic but these two produced it week in week out and clearly is game of the week.Ben Beardmore battled well to see off Owen cubit from 3-2 down and he also had good wins over Barry and Paul Brittle.Bob Lamb had performance of the week with s blistering display of a 15 dart leg and 3x21 dart legs a couple of maximums and a sublime 116 outshot.Tony Hirst continues to impress and has been a real credit to the league.Lee Slack looks set for a top half finish with the form he is in as does Double A Antony ainsworth.Player of the week is Pete Bramley who beat a inform Bob Lamb 6-1 with 17,18 and 3x22 dart legs.
