made up for their disappointing second place finish in the League’s West
Division this season, six points behind Champions Worthing, when they
took two of the major titles at the playoffs at Roffey Club on Sunday.
In the “Blue Riband”
event Jason Yates collected the £240 prize money and the “Brookes
Sports” Cup after defeating Newhaven’s Darren Woolgar 3-0 in the final.
Jason fought through the ninety strong field with wins against Simon
Smith, Dave Creasey, Kevin Downes, Reg Harding Jnr and semi-finalist
Dean Edlin, Mid Sussex. Disappointed at his defeat Darren was consoled
by his £120 finalist’s prize, his route to the final having included
wins against Craig Deeley, John Reed, James Greenfield, Ian Perkins and
semi-finalist Kevin Fishwick, Crawley.
Further success came
for the Roffey team when Ron Clarke and Neil Smith won the “Harveys”
Rosebowl and its’ £250 cash prize, beating the Hastings pairing Andy
Derrick and Spencer Ellis by 3-2 in a tense final. Losing semi-finalists
here were Dave Mansell / Dean Edlin, Mid Sussex and Rod Hawkins / Jim
Withers from Lewes & Eastbourne Rail
The Champion of
Champions event attracted a field of forty eight players, each of whom
had won a match award during the season. The winner, from the league
Champion side Worthing, was Peter Stoner when he beat Bevendean Reds
star Russell Vanner by 3-2 in a close fought final. Peter took the £250
prize after his progress through the class field had included wins
against Mark Davis, Spencer Ellis, Colin Whiley and semi-finalist Ian
Perkins, Lewes. Russell reached the final after defeating Wayne Self,
Roy Lindfield, James Greenfield and semi-finalist Dave Mansell, Mid
Sussex.
More than £4400 in
prize money was distributed to the nineteen teams in the League.

DARTS 2009 - 14th
October
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.
W ith
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.

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.

DGH clinched a place in the play-offs for the
Sussex Winter Super League Championship
title after defeating the challenge from second

Engineer.
The hospital club won the East Division by just
six points after a match which featured four
maximums and a match award winning average of
28.34 by Eastbourne’s John Ferrell. Eastbourne
met West Division winners Bevendean in the title
playoff at the Tally Ho, Lewes.
Sam Harding and Laura Mackintosh
started the ball rolling for Bevendean with a
win, but Eastbourne came back, winning both
Men’s Pairs matches thanks to John Ferrell and
Don Stone, and Paul Russell and Jim Withers.
Eastbourne’s Lisa Tanner and Mandy Perry proved
too strong for the Bevendean ladies, taking both
their Singles games to give the hospital club a
4-1 lead.
With Bevendean needing to win all four Men’s
Singles to save the match Rod Hawkins and Ian
Perkins both won for the Brighton side. With
the match score at 3-4 Mark Davis was next up
for Bevendean, but he faced an in-form Paul
Russell who won 3-0 to make Eastbourne the 5-3
