An excellent turnout of 24 teams took to the oche over the three divisions – good considering some players were at Selsey for the 2015 England Open.

The division-three knockout saw only five teams take part.

The final saw Gary Blackwood, Gary Miller and Janet Grinstead (Claremont) take on Stuart Turner, Mick Deadman and John Stephenson (ASC).

The second semi saw Ben and Mark H Todd team up with cousin Bradley Marshall (BRSA Ravens) to beat father and son team Dave and Karl Wingate and Colin Ragless (Friary D).

The first leg of the final was secured by Aizlewood. The second leg saw Mark H Todd take out double eight with his last dart to level it up.
