OBITUARYDon Smith The Sussex County darts fraternity were stunned to hear of the death of the County Organisation’s President Don Smith who passed away last week in Lewes. A minute’s silence was observed at a packed Roffey Social Club on Sunday prior to the County Super league playoffs. Don was born in 1933 and he made his mark in the sport of darts in the seventies when he was a member of the Wealden team, which dominated the County Super league for many years. He was also a key member of the Charcoal Burner, Crawley side who won the Lord Lonsdale Trophy (The National Peoples Cup) in Manchester in 1977. On the Brighton darts scene Don was a well respected player at the Golden Cross for ten years and he was the Brighton News of the World Champion in 1978. In 1974 Don was a founder member of the Sussex Darts Organisation and played his first match in the B.I.C.C. for the county against Warwickshire in October of that year, eventually holding the team managers position for many years. He represented Sussex in more than eighty matches, mainly in the “A” team, his last at Pembroke in March 1994 and, despite a recent deterioration in health, Don continued to support his beloved County, his last appearance being at Aylesbury for the Buckinghamshire match early this month. He will be remembered with affection and respect, not for nothing did he have the nickname “God”. As his old Golden Cross team mate Terry Dyke said of him in a written tribute, “Don had a great sense of humour and was always fun to be with”. Sincere condolences go to his wife Janet in her sad loss BARRY MOODY SUSSEX DARTS ORGANISATION SUSSEX COUNTY SUPER LEAGUE DARTS 2009 Worthing won this season’s County Super League Championship in one of the most exciting playoffs for years at the Roffey Social Club, defeating the East Division winners Lewes by 5-4. The Globe team had previously won their Division by six points from Roffey and they have now succeeded in keeping the “King and Barnes” Cup in West Sussex for the second year in succession. Ken Sowerby started the ball rolling for Worthing with a 3-1 win over Paul Telford which included a maximum. John Johnston continued Worthing’s winning start beating Ricki Blay 3-1. The next game proved to be a high-scoring tussle with both players averaging 25 plus, Ian Perkins hitting a maximum but Richard Stanford winning 3-1 to give Worthing a 3-0 lead. James Greenfield was next up for Worthing and his 3-0 defeat of Daniel Sains included a sixteen dart leg with a 180. Lewes were now desperate for a win at 4-0 down and Keith Price came to the rescue of the Tally Ho side beating Steve Hart 3-0 with a 30.06 average. The Harding family continued the fight back for Lewes with Dave Harding winning 3-0 against Andy Stanford and Reg Harding Jnr. beating Chris Walker 3-0. Dave’s win in 19, 15 and 15 darts, included the best finish of the evening 120 and gained him the man-of-the-match award for a 30.67 average. With the score now at 4-3 to Worthing Paul Paice was looking to secure the match for the Globe. He took the first leg against Rod Hawkins but the County star got back into the game with a 106 checkout. Paul again took the lead going out on 68 in the third leg but Rod came back to level the score with a 16 dart leg. The match score was then levelled, to the delight of the packed Club, when Rod secured a 3-2 win with a game shot of 78. The match decider appeared well balanced with Lee Gladman taking the first leg for Worthing and Gavin Redshaw equalising for the Tally Ho with an 85 checkout. However Lee got the upper hand in the third leg, going out on in 15 darts including a 116 finish, with Gavin stranded on 160. The Worthing man then showed his scoring powers with three tons in succession to win the game in 16 darts and secure the Championship title for Worthing, for the first time in their thirty years in the League.
BARRY MOODY LEAGUE SECRETARY DARTS BUCKINGHAMSHIRE V SUSSEX OCTOBER 2009
Sussex began their campaign to regain their place back in Division One of the Inter Counties league with a trip to Aylesbury to play Buckinghamshire, who they defeated 22-14 at the Roffey Club last year. With a much changed squad from their last match in April, when they were heavily defeated in Lincolnshire, Sussex high hopes were blunted on Saturday when their Ladies “B” side went down 2-4. The four newcomers to the team were outplayed, leaving Hayley Gatford, Bognor and lady-of--the-match Laura Macintosh, with a 16.44 average, the two winners. The Mens “B” side showed ten changes from last year and soon rewarded team managers Andy Sexton and Michael Donegan for their selection with a very satisfactory 10-2 win. Man-of-the-match was newcomer Ian Perkins, Brighton with a 26.54 winning average including the only maximum of the day. The remaining winners were Andrew Sexton. Simon Morris and Gary Edgar all from Newhaven, Ken Sowerby, Worthing, Craig Deeley and Russell Venner from Brighton, Kez Botting, Roffey, Don Stone, Eastbourne and Chris Gatford, Bognor. On Sunday the Ladies “A” team kept Sussex ahead by six points overall, thanks to a 3-3 draw, with Donna Rainsley, Halland taking the lady-of-the-match award for her 20.00 winning average. Sam Harding, Lewes and Lisa Tanner, Eastbourne were both 3-2 winners for Sussex. Bucks began their fight back with six wins in the first seven games in the Mens ”A” match, Keith Price, Brighton the only success for Sussex. Paul Russell, Eastbourne stopped the rot for Sussex, winning 3-2 with a 26.08 man-of-the-match performance, including a 128 checkout in the deciding leg. Once again Bucks came back with two wins to level the match score at 17-17 but Michael Hammond, Newhaven and Jason Yates, Roffey both grabbed 3-1 wins to ensure that Sussex had gained the bonus points for their 19-17 win. Despite going down 4-8, the Mens “A” team equalled the home side’s average and outscored them with 91 tona plus maximums from Geoff Taylor, Brighton, Darren Woolgar, Newhaven and Keith Price. Sussex next match is at the Roffey Club at the end of the month when Norfolk are the visitors, fresh from their 14-22 home defeat at the hands of Berkshire.

SUSSEX LADIES SUPER LEAGUE 2009 Its congratulations to the Lewes ladies team for their first ever championship in the Ladies Super league. They dominated the league this summer going through all ten matches unbeaten finishing with a 5-4 win over previous champions Littlehampton Coconuts at the TallyHo to take the title by more than thirty points. Lewes joined the league in 2001 and have always been a threat to the nine times League Champions Littlehampton but never quite making the top spot. Their team provides six of the County’s Ladies squad and has five of the top six in the singles averages, unbeaten this season Sam Harding, Donna Rainsley and Elaine Chapman, together with Rhonda West, Sue Bird, Brenda Sains, Zoey Spooner and Charlotte Broadway. The League’s Pairs and Singles and Champion of Champions playoffs will be held on Sunday October 11th at the Roffey Social Club. The format and fixtures for the Winter Super League will be decided at a meeting during that day.
