SUSSEX “HOLSTEN” GRAND PRIX – final week

 

Newhaven star Michael Hammond completed a highly successful month in his darts career when he scooped the top prize of £400 in the Holsten sponsored Sussex Grand Prix at the Roffey Club. Needing a win in one of the three events staged, to overtake leader Tony Ayres in the USA for the Desert Classic, Michael waited until the last competition of the day, the Flying Pairs, to hit the winning double in the final to clinch the points and the money. Michael’s other achievements in June included the awards for Best Youth player, County player of the year, selection for the South Youth v the North in next Sunday’s match and qualifying for the Winmau Masters playoffs at Tonbridge in August.       

In the Mens’ Singles Kent star Clive Barden made a rare appearance this season at Roffey to take the £150 first prize after he defeated  Brighton’s Ian Perkins 3-1 in the final. Losng semi-finalists were Gary Miles, Essex and Craig Deeley, Brighton.

 Eastbourne’s County star Lisa Tanner finished top of the Ladies table by thirty points to collect the £200 prize, despite a late challenge from Sussex County team mate Sue Bird who won the Singles and, partnered by Rhonda West, the Pairs, to put her in second place. Sue defeated Rhonda 3-2 in the Singles final with Lisa Tanner and Elaine Chapman losing semi-finalists. A disappointing entry in the Ladies Pairs saw Surrey duo Jane Johnson and Jane Lewis beaten 3-2 by Sue and Rhonda in the final.

 The Mens Pairs final featured four Essex players with Gary Miles and Paul Oakley defeating Wayne Dodd and Harry Miles 3-1. Losing semi-finalists were Ian Perkins/Mark Davis and Clive Barden/ Andy Derrick.

 Harry Miles made up for his defeat in the Pairs final by winning the Youth Singles, beating Horsham youngster Nathan Pearce 3-0 in the final and taking the top place in the Youth table by twenty points from Rob Cross, Edenbridge.

 The ever popular Flying Pairs event saw Michael Hammond clinch the top spot in the Mens table when, partnered by Eastbourne’s Paul Russell, they beat the Eastbourne duo Dave Creasey and David Weir 2-0 in the final.

The £715 paid out in prize money on the day brought the total for the series to more than £4400, plus the £1000 shared by the six top players in the “Holsten” Grand Prix tables. Organisers Sussex Super League are in negotiation with sponsors “Holsten” and the Roffey Club for staging the third in the series in 2008/9.

 With just one of this season’s “HOLSTEN” Grand Prix tournaments left to play, the battle for a share of the £1000 sponsored prize fund will go to the wire. Billinghurst’s   star Tony Ayres is at the top of the points table after completing a hat-trick of wins in the Mens’ Singles. Tony defeated Thurrock star Gary Miles in a hard fought final but, hot on his heels are County “A” players, Michael Hammond, Newhaven and Steve Lovett, Croydon, both less than forty points adrift after winning the Men’s Pairs for the second time. Brighton pairing Mark Davis and Ian Perkins were the defeated finalists. Tony will be at the Desert Classic in Las Vegas at the end of June and will miss the final Grand Prix, leaving the final outcome wide open.

 Eastbourne’s County star Lisa Tanner is virtually out of sight at the top of the Ladies table with a ninety point lead after her second win in the Singles event. Team-mates Sue Bird and Rhonda West vie for second spot after picking up twenty points each as finalists in the Pairs event, which was won by Elaine Chapman and Angela Frewin, their first success of the season.

 The ever popular Flying Pairs event was won by Mark Davis partnered by Surrey’s Tim King making his first appearance at Roffey. Tony Ayres and Paul Oakley, Essex were the defeated finalists.

In the Youth Singles previous winner Harry Miles from Essex lost to Croydon youngster Ryan Hitchen to leave Rob Cross, Edenbridge top of the table by eighteen points.

The £640 paid out in prize money on the day brought the total to date to more than £3700 and organisers Sussex Super League expect a big turnout for the final playoff on June 29th at Roffey Club.

The fourth of this season’s “HOLSTEN” Grand Prix playoffs saw Sussex players take the honours in four of the six events. Billinghurst’s   star Tony Ayres stays at the top of the points table, winning the Mens’ Singles for the second time this season. Close on his heels, just thirteen points away is Newhaven’s Michael Hammond after his second win tin the Mens Pairs event with partner Steve Lovett.

Eastbourne’s County star Lisa Tanner established a sixty five point lead in the Ladies points table after her second win in the Pairs event with Norma Self and finishing runner-up to team-mate Donna Rainsley who  made her first appearance at Roffey this season.

The Flying Pairs provided success for Surrey players Jane Lewis and Gary Miles beating Angela Frewin and Andy Derrick in the final.

In the Youth Singles newcomer Harry Miles from Essex defeated Brighton’s Oliver Sopp in the final, leaving Rob Cross, Edenbridge top of the table by nineteen points.

Organisers Sussex Super League paid out more than £620 prize money on the day and are expecting fierce competition for a share of the £1000 points prize fund over the last two playoffs in June despite these both clashing with events in Sheppey and Las Vegas.
