THE WILTSHIRE County Darts Open at the Ferndale Club Swindon was a huge success, as 92 entrants from as far afield as Wales took to the floor to try to win the £500 first prize.
The winner was Steve Alker from Pontyberem in Wales, who beat Stuart White from Banbury 6-4 in the final. White picked up £200.
The two losing semi-finalists were Swindon’s Chris Aubrey and Berkshire’s Jason Heaver.
Eight ladies entered and Stacey Day progressed the furthest and picked up £25 for her efforts.
The organisers of the event are hoping to run a separate ladies event next year.
A spokesman for Wiltshire Darts said: “The committee would like to thank the Ferndale Club for hosting the Open and the appreciation from the players for a well run competition.
“We also want to thank our sponsor at Wiltshire Darts would like to thank the following sponsors: Wiltshire Concrete, Photon Imaging Cirencester, Salisbury Snooker Club, Jill Little, Dave Lewis, Jo Hooke, Jaine Telling, Terry Smith and Mick Duggan, as well as Beatmaster Roadshow for supplying the PA system.”
