Sharron Bale Mixed Pairs Memorial Sponsored by BTLS Hayley

Winners: Kevin Ede & Stephanie Smee £200,	The Trophy

Hampshire super stars Kevin Ede and Steph Smee deservedly won the inaugural Sharron Bale memorial but the event will probably be remembered for a superb day of mixed darts in Andover.

Nearly sixty pairs packed the Entertainer last Saturday to create an atmosphere that Sharron would have revelled in. Ede and Smee, who reached the Lakeside world semi finals this year, collected the crystal trophy and £200 winner’s cheque after defeating the father and daughter combination of Martin and Stephanie Richell from Wiltshire in the final.

There was however, much to cheer from an Andover perspective, Mark and Teresa Thorne reached the semi finals as did Lesley Perry who partnered Mark Cox the talented Swindon thrower.

All four board finalists were Andover representatives and while Andy Deavall collected the highest check out prize, there was over £200 raised for the British Heart Foundation.

Runners Up: Martin and Stephanie Richell £100.

Semi finalists: Mark and Teresa Thorne,

Semi finalists:Mark Cox and Lesley Perry

 £50. Last Eight: Andy Deavall and Dawn Smith, Paul Smith and Paula Baird, Colin Denyer and Maggie Jenkins and Chris Bailey and Heather Lane £25.
