Rileys, Leicester was the venue for the Season 2 Redtooth Darts Regional Final.
The afternoon began with a series of group games before reaching the last eight knock-out phase. The standard, as usual was extremely high, both scoring and finishing. Special mention must be given though to our youngest competitor, Josh Longden, from the Alpine, Rotherham, who recorded the highest check-out of the day with a 151 finish in the group stages.
With three of the final eight players having already qualified for the National Final in November, the five new qualifiers will be joined by the highest placed runners-up from the groups, they are Paul Turner, Wild Wood, Stafford, Wayne Ellams, Alpine, Rotherham and Baz Pearce, Gigmill, Stourbridge.
The knock-out stage results were as follows;
Quarter Finals:
Brian Lewis (Wilton, Rotherham) 4 – 0 Edward Heyward (Wild Wood, Stafford)
Lee Cusworth (Wilton, Rotherham) 4 – 1 Gary Wilson Jr (Rileys, Leicester)
