Darts: Dove is looking ahead to John Smith’s qualifiers
STOCKTON darts player Tommy Dove has landed a chance to play at the home of arrows - the Lakeside Country Club.
The 49-year-old swooped into the finals of the inaugural John Smith’s People’s Darts tournament with a 3-0 whitewash of Stokesley’s Ronald McGinty in the North-east qualifier at Coundon.
He now goes on to join seven other regional qualifiers at the Lakeside in Surrey, with the final televised live on the BBC ahead of the BDO World Championship Final on January 11.
Dove, who also won £1,000 for his Norton-based chosen charity the Daisy Chain, will be mentored by former BDO world champion Martin Adams ahead of the tournament.
Adams was on the oche at Coundon to provide support and the England captain will visit Stockton Buffs for a coaching and exhibition night in the weeks before the final.
Dove said: “It was a brilliant day and I can’t believe I have made it through to the final at the Lakeside.
“I’m delighted to have won and I’m just looking forward to the next stage of the competition.”
Adams, who pipped Ferryhill’s Phill Nixon to win the 2007 BDO world title, added: “The Lakeside is a brilliant venue and it will be fantastic to see Tommy represent the North-east on the big stage.
“It will be a massive change in terms of atmosphere for Tommy so hopefully I can pass on some good advice that he can take with him to the final.”
Dove regularly stars on the local circuit for Stockton Buffs and will be cheered on at Frimley Green by nine guests from the club, including darts team captain Craig Turner.
Turner said: “Tommy is a cracking player.
“He has won all sorts of things for us, including three trophies in a year.
“This is the icing on the cake.”
If he emerges victorious at the Lakeside, Dove will win an additional £14,000 for the Daisy Chain and will get to play in three BDO tournaments, including the Torremolinos Open.

Taylor desperate for title
Best ever setting sights on 14th world title at Alexandra Palace

Only James Wade's success at the UK Open prevented a sweep for Taylor, while the man from Stoke also defended his Grand Slam of Darts title in Wolverhampton last week. (full story...)

Darts star Montgomery targets Masters success
Darts star Montgomery targets Masters success
Nov 26 2008 by Paul Thomson, East Kilbride News
DARTS star Ross ‘The Boss’ Montgomery is gearing up for the Winmau World Masters next weekend, but he’s not sure if his first round opponent will turn up.
The 45-year-old from Greenhills has been putting in the practice ahead of next weekend’s televised tournament and he admitted he’s not sure if his first round opponent will make an appearance.
Ross, who is due to face Indian Nitin Kumar on December 5 at the event in Yorkshire, said: “I’m quite happy with the draw I’ve got overall, but I’m not sure if my first round opponent will turn up. It sounds weird, but experience tells me that guys who have got so far to travel don’t end up making it.
“It’s the World Masters and they send out invitations to people from all over, but there’s been plenty of times when guys haven’t turned up because they don’t have the money to travel to England.
“I don’t know much about the guy, but I hope he turns up. I want to play my matches, but on the other hand he could be dangerous because he is an unknown, so I will have to be careful if he does show up.”
Ross, who is ranked sixth in the world rankings, just missed out on automatic qualification for the last 16 of the tournament and has to play four matches before making it to the televised stage.
The Winmau World Masters involves players from seventy countries, including darts champions from over 140 national and international events worldwide.
Around 300 players will attend this year’s event, which will mark the 35th anniversary of the oldest established major event in world darts.
And Ross is targeting the televised stages of the tournament after negotiating some tricky early matches.
He added: “If I win my group then I would be looking at facing Gary Robson in the last 16, but it’s going to be difficult because there’s plenty of darts to be played before I get there.
“But I’m feeling good about my game at the moment – I just won the Liberton Open in Edinburgh after beating Mike Leitch – so everything’s going well. I’ll be putting in a lot of practice before I travel and I’m hoping for a good showing at the Winmau.”
There was some other good news for Ross this week when he was announced as the number 10 seed for the World Championships at the Lakeside in January.
But ‘The Boss’ thought he might have been seeded a couple of places higher. He explained: “It’s great to be the number 10 seed, but I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t get a bit higher up than that.
“I did a lot of hard work this year and thought I might have been ranked eighth, but I’m over the moon to be at the Lakeside again and I will just get on with playing my game when I get there.
“My seeding means I won’t be playing another seeded player until the second round so that’s great. But I’ve still got a couple of tournaments to concentrate on before the Lakeside.”
Ross is currently looking for sponsors to go on his shirt for the Lakeside Competition which will be screened live on BBC television from January 3 until January 11. Anyone interested in sponsoring him should email rossmontgomery1"AT"yahoo.co.uk.

One Dart to appear at charity exhibition
Nicknamed "One Dart" for his knack of hitting doubles with his first dart, Manley, 46, is currently ranked No 13 in the world, and has been a PDC World Championship finalist three times, twice being beaten 7-0 by Phil Taylor.
This famously led to a long-running feud between the two men after the 2002 final culminating in his refusal to shake Taylor's hand at the end of the match. These days a more relaxed Manley is better liked by fans since changing his entrance music to Is This The way to Amarillo?.
During his appearance at Ludgvan, Manley (pictured), who is co-sponsored by Penzance-based Chris Sedgeman Scaffolding, will be playing a series of about 15 games against local players and all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Precious Lives Appeal. There will also be a raffle.

The Dart Board, Its History and Development
The dart board has been around for many years, the first ones were simple barrel ends. They progressed to purpose made wooden dart boards usually made of elm. Unfortunately they were prone to splitting so they were soaked overnight in water which also had the benefit of closing up the dart holes as the wood swelled.A company called Nodor changed all that and were the first company to produce the Bristle dart board, patenting the design in the 1930’s. There was a myth that pig bristles were used in the manufacture, but pig bristle was never used, instead the bristles were small pieces of rope bundled together and compressed to form a smooth surface with a natural self healing property that lasts for a very long time.
Nodor got a patent for the design and so were the only manufacturer for 25 years or so for the life of the patent. After the patent expired other manufacturers entered the arena most notably Winmau . And you thought Nodor was a funny name. Apparently the name Winmau was made up from the first three letters of the two names of the wife of the company director “Winifred Maud” hence Winmau.
Winmau and Nodor fought for supremacy in the dart board market for many years until Nodor eventually took over the Winmau brand. During this time Winmau came up with their famous Blade board with ultra thin wire separators and Nodor came up with the first staple free bulls eye dart board.
The bristle boards were used in all the big tournaments that started in the 70’s and are still used today in the prestigious tournaments like the Las Vegas classic and the British Lakeside tournament.
Then came Electronics, the electronic dart board came on the scene and changed the game overnight. The odd thing about electronic boards is they are covered in hundreds of small holes for the special soft tip darts to enter. At first glance you think how can the dart get into those holes so exactly? The answer is the holes are at the bottom of a small dimple in the board, which guides the dart tip into the hole. And it works very well with nowhere near the amount of bounce outs you might expect. Also of course those holes have sensors, which tell the electronics where the dart has landed and records the score of the dart automatically. This was a great boon to darters as they no longer had to keep score and the boards could be networked to collect all the scores from the boards on a computer, great for tournaments.
The difference with the electronic dart board are that you have to use soft tip darts, and the tips are made of plastic so as not to damage the board. (Never use normal steel tip darts on an electronic board) Also the maximum weight of dart allowed on most electronic dart boards is 20 grams.
There is now a new technology, Bristletech dart boards, which are electronic dart boards that can take steel tip darts as well as the soft tip variety, so you have the best of both worlds. The Bristletech technology is set to dominate the dart board market in the future.
The archers of old would marvel at how their game has developed and I’m sure there is more to come, especially with the development of Bristle type boards combined with electronics. The electronic game is popular in both Europe and the US and who knows, the big tournaments like the Las Vegas classic may go that way too.

Legion hopes to hit bullseye with dart fundraiser
UXBRIDGE -- The Uxbridge Legion is hoping to hit the fundraising bullseye at an event this weekend.
The legion, located at 109 Franklin St., is hosting a 'dart-a-thon' on Sunday, Nov. 30, at noon, with competitions also at 1:30 and 3 p.m. that day. Participants will throw nine darts at each number on the board, totalling 180 darts, said Councillor Jack Ballinger, also president of the Legion.
The idea is to score the highest, hitting 'triples' as much as possible, he said.
Individuals and teams of four can enter. The team with the most pledges will win four tickets to a Toronto Maple Leafs game, with prizes for the second and third best efforts as well, said Coun. Ballinger.
The goal is to raise $4,000 for the Uxbridge United Way campaign, said the councillor.
Pledge forms are available in advance at the legion, or residents can walk in with a pledge the day of for some dart fun, he said. Food will be provided by the legion, said Coun. Ballinger.
Uxbridge invited to event to benefit United Way

Phil: Blame One Dart for my wins
I WOKE up very tired and very proud on Monday morning after winning the final of the PartyPoker.com Grand Slam of Darts.
I beat Terry Jenkins 18-9 on Sunday in Wolverhampton — but the scoreline doesn’t tell you what a battle I had against him.
He had pipped Raymond van Barneveld and Gary Anderson in close matches to reach the final and that may have tired him out a little bit and caused some of his missed doubles.
But I didn’t do it the easy way either during the tournament. I lost to Andy Jenkins in the group stage — something he hasn’t let me forget since — and was 5-1 down to Simon Whitlock in the quarter-finals. (full article...)

Dart players attempt to break world record
EIGHT dart players from Mandurah, Rockingham, Harvey and Bunbury dart associations will attempt to break a 17-year-old world record this weekend.
Brothers Justin and Jamie Miles, father and son Dominic and Joe Comito Lawrence Ryder, Dave Hughes, John Kiley, Nigel Hartley are aiming to break the world record of using the least amount of darts to reach the score of 1,000,001.
The current record of 36,583 dart shots was set in America in 1991.
There is no time limit and the eight local players will attempt the new record from tomorrow night until Sunday in an industrial shed in Pinjarra.
Playing in pairs at hour and half-hour intervals non-stop, an average of between 40 to 50 darts will be shot per hour.
Under strict instructions from Guinness World Records, all players will have to keep a log book and the whole event will be recorded.
The eight players nominated to break to record all in the top 10 to 12 players in the A-grade Peel Darts Association; the age of the players range from 18 to 57 combine for more than 100 years’ experience in playing darts.
The idea to break the world record came from Mandurah Darts Association president Dave Bickley.
He originally wanted to attempt the record four years ago to raise money but due to night shifts and other reasons it never came to fruition until now.
“We’re doing it now as a challenge for ourselves,” Bickley said.
“The guys are all very keen and even if we don’t break it this time they’re already talking of making another attempt in the near future.”
Anyone is welcome to attend the record breaking attempt.
Call Dave Bickley 158 327 for more information.
The Mandurah Darts Association season will start on March 5 with team nominations to be finalised by January 26.
Anyone interested in playing darts can phone Bickley or club secretary Phil Metcalf on 9586 9739 for further details. (story source...)

Marshall moves into top spot in Irish Darts Players Championship
Wednesday November 26 2008
THERE was great joy for Tralee's Sean Marshall in Abbeyleix, Co Laois last Saturday as he won the second round of the Irish Darts Players Championship, a feat that puts in the number one position in the Player Championships at the moment on 22 points.
With over 270 players taking part in the competition Marshall had to come through eight gruelling matches to claim victory in Saturday's competition beating John Elder from Antrim six legs to one in the semi-final. Marshall then faced Kildare's Martin Murphy in the final and eventually come on victorious on a score line of 6-4. Speaking to The Kerryman, Marshall admitted that it was a tough victory for him.
"The first four legs went against the throw and I was lucky to break his throw in the ninth leg and win the tenth one. Overall I was delighted with how I played last weekend particularly hitting 10 180's in the tournament. I hope to keeps things going now heading into the next round in Tramore in January and it's a great feeling to be ranked No 1 in the championship at the moment," he said.
Kilflynn's Shane Nolan was knocked out in the second round of the competition but only after putting up a great fight against Dubliner Shane O'Connor, a player who will compete in the PDC World Championships next month. Castleisland duo Mike O'Sullivan and James Broderick were two other players to play well over the weekend as well as Milltown's Dale McCarthy and Killarney man Matt Lacey who lost to Elder in the final of his board. There are six rounds to this championship and the next round will take place in Tramore, Co. Waterford on January 11th next.
Meanwhile in other darts news it has been confirmed that top PDC professionals Terry 'The Bull' Jenkins, who won the Johnny McEvoy Gold Dart Classic at the Killarney Darts Festival three weeks ago and former two time world champion Denis 'The Menace' Priestley will play an exhibition match at the Ballyroe Heights Hotel, Tralee in aid of the Carers Association on Sunday December 7 at 8.30pm. Standard tickets for the event are € 25; VIP reception at 7.30pm with tickets priced at € 50.
£22,000 pay day for Anderson
GARY Anderson's run in the Grand Slam of Darts ended with a semi-final defeat to Terry Jenkins - but he still picked up a cool £22,000 for his efforts.
Anderson had been 14-10 against 'The Bull', but fought back to make it 14-14 in the best of 31 leg match.
However, Jenkins won the next two legs thanks to double 20 finishes to win one of the best matches of the competition.
It was a tremendous effort... (full article...)

Pacquiao darts tilt at GenSan
 |
Darters from as far as Baguio City in north and other key cities have already registered for the country’s biggest darts tournament in honor of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, himself a darter.
The GenSan fighter has already sponsored previous big darts tournaments in Digos, Davao del Sur and Gen. Santos City.
"We expect more than 500 darters to join the event. Marikina for instance is sending a contingent of 16 darters and not all of them are vying for the cash prizes even if the men’s open champion gets to receive a record P320,000 cash prize," said NDFP’s Tito Soncuya.
Others who have already signified their interest to take part are OFW darters based in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Buckeye Open results?
Isen Veljic won the 501 mens singles over Mark Neilsen. Shawn Brenneman and Jay Barlow met eachother in the mens cricket singles no clue who won (think the split it anyway).
Larry Butler and Timmy Nichol won the cricket doubles over Isen and myself. Steve Hertzfeld came back after struggles with illness to win doubles 501 with Roger Gansen. I believe they beat Butler/Nichol in the final.
any Buckeye Open results?

There are some tournaments coming up in the future, the next one being the Cabin Fever Reliever in Cooper Landing. There are fliers at some of the local bars. This tournament is set for Dec. 19th and 20th with the Masters shoot happening Dec. 19th.
To that end, I would like to try and get a couple of people qualified for the masters shoot. I have a commitment from three people to shoot, hopefully this Saturday at PJ's starting at 5pm. Okay, I will register folks at 5pm, but I want to start no later than 5:15 pm. I have an engagement later that night.
