The Dover Invitation Darts League Singles knockouts were held at the Whitfield Club on Friday, with all the winners and runners up winning the opportunity to play against either Andy Hamilton or Steve Beaton on the 24^th September.

In total, 95 players entered the knockouts and we start the round up in division one.

Jim Penman of the Archer was the eventual winner, beating Ritchie Buckle in the final.  Jims route to the final started in the preliminary round with a 2-0 win against last weeks pairs runner up, Al Terry. 

He then beat Del Palmer of the Bull A 2-1 and quickly followed that with another 2-0 win over a Three Cups player, James Warr.

In quarter finals the format changed to best of 5 legs, Penman won 3-1 against Wayne Venes of the Hairy Bull and in the semi final won by the same margin against Mel Beckett of the Phoenix Rangers.

Ritchie Buckles route to the final started with a 2-0 win against his team mate Martin Pepe.  This was quickly followed up with 2-0 wins against Chris Bent of the Archer and George Clark of the Diamond.

In quarter and semi finals he beat Wheelwrights A players, Phil Proctor and Lee Dawkins 3-0 and 3-1 respectively.

Jim Penman won the final with some fantastic darts, winning the match 3-0 and taking just 15, 11 and 13 darts in the three legs.  This is a three dart average of 115.6, which we all know is incredible.  He also hit two 180’s in the final.

Other highlights of the division one knockout were two 180’s from Mel Beckett and Ash Battie, one from Peter Fry and four from Ritchie Buckle.  Ritchie hit three in three legs against Phil Proctor.

Mel Beckett checked out on 132 and Ash Battie hit a great 128 finish.

In division two the eventual winner was Darren Hyder of the Crown & Sceptre, who beat Lloyd Clubb 3-2 in the final.

Darren’s journey was all rather smooth.  All of his opponents were from the Falstaff, he beat Jason Breedon 2-0, Andy Terry 3-0 and Shaun Breedon 3-0.  Darren hot four 180’s on the night, including three in his semi final win against Shaun Breedon.

Lloyds route included a 2-1 win against Kevin Elliot of the Oast Cottage, 3-0 win against Dean Smith and a semi final 3-2 win against his team mate and blind pairs winner Alan Humphries.

Mark Comley of the Sportsman checked out on 143 in his first round victory against Dave Wallace of the Real Diamonds.

In the combined division three and four knockout, the winner was Dan Cameron of the Admiral Harvey A who beat Dave Cassell of the Golden Lion 3-1 in the final.

Dan beat Tony Thompson of the Three Cups 2-1 and followed this with another win by the same margin against Ricky Cook.

With the change of format at the quarter finals stage, Dan won 3-0 against Kevin Thorpe of the Phoenix A and then he beat Craig Morton of the Boars Head C 3-1 to reach the final.

Dave’s route to his third divisional singles final in as many years included 2-0 wins against Ricky Edwards and Ben “Bunyip” Baldwin.  The format change didn’t affect Dave, he won 3-0 against Laura Whatmore of the Wheelwrights and by the same margin against Graham Irons of the Phoenix A.  Dave also checked out on 150 on the night.
