CLICK TO SEE THE FULL DRAW
RITCHIE BUCKLE BEAT KEV
BEASLEY 3-1 TO RETAIN HIS SINGLES TITLE
71 players
made their way to the Whitfield Club on Friday
the 4th September to compete for the
Dover Invitation Darts League annual Singles
Title.
The night was
combined with the presentation night for the
Summer League campaign, with many more people
packing the venue to make a cracking atmosphere
on the night.
The eventual
winner was Ritchie Buckle of the Hairy Bull, who
beat Kevin Beasley of the Bricklayers 3-1, a
result that meant that Buckle retained his title
that he won 12 months a go.
So how did
they reach the final? Buckle started the night
in cracking form beating Mark Comley of the
Sportsman 2-0, finishing in less than 16 darts
in both legs. The second round Ritchie beat
Paul Martin of the Diamond by the same margin to
set up a last 16 match against Billy Bell of the
Bull B.
Bell was the
first player on the night to take a leg of
Buckle, however a rampant Buckle won 3-1 to
reach the quarter finals.
Wayne Venes of
the Diamond was next up for Ritchie, Wayne was
also in super form, hitting two 180’s in his
previous games. He carried his form on, taking
the first leg only for Ritchie to fight back and
win 3-1 again.
One of last
weeks pairs winners, Del Palmer of the Bull A
followed last weeks super effort with a semi
final place in the singles, but this week the
final was one step for Del Boy, as Buckle beat
him 3-0 to reach the final.
Kev Beasley’s
route to the final started with a 2-0 win
against Kevin Green of the Diamond and then a
win by the same margin against Luke Blythe of
the Admiral Harvey.
In the last 16
Beasley met Jeff “Bubbles” Such of the Red Lion,
and won 3-0 to book his quarter final place
against his team mate James Warr.
James hit a
180 during the match, but Kev’s super finishing
on the night guided him through to the semis
with a 3-1 win.
Next up was
Kevan Hackett of the Bull A, who was also in
good form, beating team mates Ash Battie and Ben
Tester on route. Beasley ran out 3-1 winner, to
set up a battle against Buckle for the title.
Buckle was in
awesome form, consistently hitting the treble
and won the first leg. Beasley thought back to
make it 1-1 after Buckle missed three darts at
32. Buckle wasn’t going to make the same
mistake and went on to win the game 3-1.
Buckle
retained hit title and took the improved prize
fund of £150.
