The Airlie Beach Darts Club held its inaugural Australia Day Champions Cup on Sunday morning, where there were a lot of new faces which was great to see.
The Champions Cup is one of seven scheduled one day competitions this year, which are new to the club, and are geared towards offering people the chance to take up darts for the first time, or for those who want to reacquaint themselves with the game.
We had 16 participants to begin with on Sunday, but by the end of the day, that number would be down to one.
Mick McCormick and Jack Todd had easy passage through to the Quarters, and not too far behind them was Kam Reason and Art McMinn. Jamie Maher and John Barry had it a little harder, with both their games going the distance to last leg deciders.
Naomi Mitchell and Jamie Maher sailed through their quarter final match ups by 5/1 scorelines, while Jack Todd and Dom Friend had to sweat it out a little, both recording narrow 5/4 sudden death wins.
In the semis, Jamie Maher had his best match of the day recording a 6/1 win over Naomi Mitchell, while in the other semi-final, Jack Todd calmly dispatched the 2023 Xmas Open finalist Dom Friend in fine fashion by 6 legs to 2.
The final was a close and tense battle between Jamie Maher and Jack Todd, Jamie was scoring heavily but struggled on the outer ring, while Jack didn’t squander his chances, and finished his doubling with great success. The final score line was 7/4 to the well-deserved champion Jack Todd.
The Celtic Cup is the next one-day event on St Patrick’s Day, Sunday March 17th. For anyone interest in taking part, you can find us on Facebook @airliebeachdartsclub, or contact us on 0405411865.
