It was a great weekend of darts thanks to Leah Evison, who ran the event along with Shane and Evan from the DPA (due to the rest of the committee being otherwise engaged).

Evison did a fabulous job and was to be congratulated. The committee was grateful for the time Evison put in and also a big thank you to Gordon Riley.

Twenty five of the top 50 grand slam of darts players played which was fabulous for the status of the tournament.

There were four qualifiers with the top eight from each going to the final on Sunday afternoon.

There were 32 players on the Friday night and the top eight were Simon Whitlock, Steve MacArthur, Arnel Galvez, Don Whittington, Rob Modra, Paul Neighbour, Phil Heath and Peter Asmusssen.
