Singles success for Bognor's darts stars

In division one 24 players turned up and the semi-finals involved The Wheatsheaf’s Cliff Prior and Chichester’s Chris Gatford, and Royal Oak team-mates Mick Rowland and Nick Spicer. Gatford, last year’s losing finalist, couldn’t get past the might of Prior and Rowland powered past Spicer. In the final Rowland was a ton machine and took the title.

The division-two contest comprised 23 players. In the semis, Cabin team-mates Ian Dendy and Karen Wilson and Friary C’s Tim McCarthy and the BRSA’s Pete Mitchell fought it out. Dendy knocked out Wilson to take on McCarthy, who squeezed out Mitchell.

McCarthy couldn’t quite keep with Dendy who took the title.

The division-three contest attracted a disappointing number - just eight. The last four were Chichester’s Adi Linfield, BRSA’s Matt Bourner and Newtown team-mates Matt Lawler and Matt Shoebridge.

Sussex Super League players Linfield and Bourner fought hard but Linfield made it through to the final. Shoebridge got past Lawler to take the second spot. Linfield took the title with ease, adding the title to his Captains title won last week.

Tomorrow night sees the presentation and a blind trebles knockout at the Bognor Legion.
