A Very Merry Airlie Beach Darts

With the Premier League not too far back in the rear view mirror, the 2022 Xmas Open for Airlie Beach Darts club got underway at Mika on Sunday morning with groups A and B.

Group A featured the runner up of this year’s Premier League: Jamie Maher. Joining him was Jayden Lloyd, Lorraine Woods, and Adrian Wickham.

Jamie advances to the quarterfinals after topping group A unbeaten, with both Jayden and Lorraine going through to the qualifiers after finishing in second and third place, respectively.

Group B had a Premier League champion in the group: Andy Peel. He was joined by the father son combo of Dick and Nathan O’Hara, as well as Seumas Rose.

Seumas topped the group unbeaten on nine points, with the remaining three players all finishing level on three apiece.

Nathan was the unlucky player to miss out on advancing to the next stage of the comp with Andy claiming second and Dick claiming third place in group B, courtesy of better leg difference.

Both Jamie and Seumas hit 180s during their victories on Sunday.
