| Tom Sawford & Dave wilson |
In the first and 2nd rounds we had some cracking matches to see us down to the last 16 with none better that trevor Tye taking on 11th seed Vaughn Fairclough a match that had 3x21,17,15 and 3x180s between the players and Vaughn winning 4-2,brilliant game.Also in the last 32 Sie simmons and Ben Dulley the 6th seed had a close encounter as Ben won through 4-3 and Tom gurran and Ian Hendry did the same but say a spare for 7yo Evan Hendry who had earned his place in the finals and was unlucky going out to 2nd seed Dave Wilson and he also hit a few 140s and missed a couple of double as did Maison Wilson the Yorkshire Youth Champion who was knocked out by 13th seed Steve Hattersley.
The last 16 was when the seeded players would go at each other and with 13 left it would be tough for the qualifiers and lets start with former Champion Bob Pinder who took out Anne Lofthouse with ease 4-0 and likewise for the other Qualifier Mark gurran who went down to Brian Lewis but the last qualifier lead 3-2 against rob Holroyd seeded 7 only for Rob to fight back and nick it at the end.Tom Sawford hit a 180 on his way to a 4-0 win over 13th seed Ian Hendry to send the player ranked 5 into the last 8 and a match up with Ryan goffin who won a close match with Steve Hattersley 4-3 and down to the wire.Lester Bowers seeded 3 had a chance to beat last years R/up Trevor Burkhill but lost out 4-3 in which both men had a maximum and a 12 dart leg for Trev.Dave Wilson continued to progress going into the last 8 with a win against Owen Cubitt.
Last 8 kicked off with Brian Lewis edging out Bob Pinder as 9th Seed dethroned top Seed and Hellraiser himself Bob Pinder 4-2.Tom Sawford did the same to Ryan Goffin as he and ryan both shared maximums and Tom hitting a 116 to level the game and a 118 to win.Vaugn Fairclough went down 4-1 to Turbo Trevor Burkhill as both of them hit a 180 and 2x14s for Trev.Dave Wilson smashed in a 11 dart leg to break Rob Holroyd in the 1st and again hit a 14 to break in the 3rd and had not lost his throw all say as he went through 4-0.
The Semis started as the last round finsidh but both semi was amazingly close with Turbo trev and Dave Wilson both men not letting anything go and no one dropping throw with 6 maximmums in the game and 3x14,3x15s in a class game and Dave Wilson going into his first SDM grand Final 5-4 and a similar fate ended Brian Lewis run as he let slip a 4-1 lead only for the Shooter to climb back and win 5-4 in a absolute epic encounter .

| The very first qualifier back in 2014 with r/up Brendan Marren & Steve rumble(Winner) |
The final promised to be a great game but tom Sawford just didn't have anything left as he battled well the first two legs but then started to falter but had thrown excellent all day but Dave Wilson was exceptional all afternoon and held throw all day in a blistering display of darts he would win the final 5-0 and credit to both players and the rest who turned up for a terrific SDM finals and now Dave Wilson adds his name to Bob Pinder(2014) Darren Johnson(2015) Brian Dawson (2016) in becoming the Projectdarts/Red Dragon Darts Masters for 2018
The tournament has come along way since the very first qualifier back in January 2014 for that years darts masters
