Champion Paul Cook being presented with
prize money and crystal trophy by John and
Roger Smith – directors of Transplus and MC
Dave Dempsey. |
Paul Cook of Swindon produced a superbly consistent
display of darts to emerge as the Classic winner from a
quality field of 64. At a packed Entertainer last
Saturday, Cookie condemned Mark Walsh to a second
successive runners up spot by 3 sets to 1 in an
entertaining final that included 5 maximums and 61 ton
plus scores.
The eventual champion dropped just 9 legs all day
accounting for Andover’s Paul Reidy and Arron Monk, then
Dave Askew and county colleague Johnny Haines in the
board final before defeating Peter Evison in the semis.
Walsh too was in fine form all day typified by his 13,
14 and 3 eleven dart legs against Andover’s Sean White
for a three dart average of 125. His other wins came
against Gary Penwarden, Berkshire’s Dan Woodcraft the
talented Sam Rooney from Southampton in the board final
before overcoming Hampshire’s Nillson Pritchard in the
second semi.
The other board finalists were Colin Monk and last
year’s champion Dennis Smith who included a 155
checkout. That however was not enough to claim the £350
prize as Monk and Ron Atwill both closed with a 156.
Nearly £5000 in prize money and trophies were presented
by main sponsor directors John and Roger Smith of
Transplus and the event MC Dave Dempsey.
