American Darts Organisation – National results

Darin Young, ADO National champion 2010

There’s been some big darts matches over in America, so I thought it would be good to bring you the results, especially as some of the names will be known to most PDC darts fans, and some names will be ones to look out for!

Congratulations go to…

Womens national champion

Stacy Bromberg wins her 11th ADO 501 Championship and 14th total overall!  That goes on top of her recent PDC Womens world title – well don Stacy!

Mens national champion

Darin Young – ‘Big Daddy’ wins the mens title – another player who has had some success and time on our TV screens in PDC tournaments in the past.  Darin beat Christian Haggmark in their final.

Youth national champion

A big congratulations to Miles Gallagher, who not only won the ADO youth championship, but also had to beat his own brother in the semi-finals to get there.  I know their dad is extremely proud (He posts on The Stars of Darts forum).  Miles beat Tyler Meares in the final

Rileys Croydon qualifier Tricia beaten in world title final

Stacy and Tricia after their world Final

Darts ace Tricia Wright was pipped 6-5 by Stacy Bromberg in the first-ever final of the PDC Unicorn Women’s World Championship.

Tricia, 51, from Mitcham, Surrey, who battled to the final after qualifying at Rileys Croydon, was 4-2 and 5-3 ahead before Bromberg came with a late burst to claim the title.

Tricia, who collects £5,000 as runner-up, said: “The final was very exciting, and although I didn’t win, I really enjoyed myself!

“Both Stacy and I didn’t play as best we can, as the nerves set in, and the game was a close one.

“The atmosphere was amazing.  I am going to bounce back, and hopefully you will be seeing a lot more of me.”

Following her great show in the final at the Blackpool Winter Gardens, Tricia, who has career 50 titles, will get a PDC ProTour Card for 2011 and a place in the Grand Slam of Darts at Wolverhampton in November.

Rileys held qualifying heats in their Darts Zones across the UK, with 20 lady players going through to the second stage of the competition.

Rileys Chief Executive Maurice Kelly said: “It is so near and yet so far for Tricia. What a great match for the players and the fans. I’m sure Tricia will be back next year.

“Rileys have been delighted to host the regional rounds for a world-class competition like this.

“Over 500 lady players entered through our Darts Zones. We very much hope to be involved again.”

Rileys, the UK’s largest pool and snooker operator, are opening Darts Zones across their clubs 120 nationwide offering quality facilities for darts players of all levels.

The Darts Zones feature six to eight throwing lanes, championship-quality boards, hi-tech electronic scoring and specially-focused lighting.

World Match Play Semi-final results

Barney watching the Taylor vs Whitlock game in 3D

Well I managed to sneak home earlier than I thought, so managed to start watching the Barney vs. Wade game before the end.  So the great news is, it is the REAL BARNEY – he is back!   The game actually looked a little one sided, Barney pretty much destroying James Wade.

So we’re possibly going to have a very interesting final depending on how the Phil Taylor vs. Simon Whitlock game goes…

Game 1: RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD 17-8 JAMES WADE

Game 2: PHIL TAYLOR 16 – 4 SIMON WHITLOCK

Oh dear – Phil is kicking bottom early on in his game vs. Simon Whitlock… it’s serious stuff, and Whitlock needs to pick up his average big time now.

Simon continues a low average, and Taylor is beating him up big style here.  I thought that Simon would do more, but couldn’t see him beating Taylor as I said in my preview earlier today.

Taylor ran away a winner in the end, leaving Whitlock way behind.

So our finals is the ‘old firm’ clash, of Taylor vs. Barneveld.

PDC Unicorn Women’s World Championship Final

Stacy Bromberg 6-5 Tricia Wright
Best of 11 legs (first to six, no tie-breaker)

Nerves are playing a big part in tonights game between Tricia and Stacy – both missing darts they’d normally easily hit.  It can’t be easy coming up late after two big games, and with a crowd so large.  Tricia is not scoring well, but Stacy has missed important doubles to keep the game with throw.

Tricia breaks Stacy, and goes 3-2 up.. if she can hold her throw.. WHICH SHE DOES.  4-2!  Two more and we have an English world champ!

Well done Stacy – who took the last two legs to win the match, and to become the 1st PDC Womens World Champion!

Best of British luck to you Tricia! Rileys Qualifier to the Ladies World Darts final

Darts ace Tricia Wright, through to the Final of the Women’s World Championship, has had a ‘good luck’ call from top pro Anastasia Dobromyslova.

Tricia, 51, from Mitcham, Surrey, is one big game from collecting the £10,000 first prize.  She started on the road to the Final by winning an amateurs’ qualifying event at the Rileys Croydon Darts Zone.

Tricia, nicknamed The Wright Stuff, won through four more rounds to reach the Final at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, on Sunday July 25.

I really appreciate the phone call I got from Anastasia.  Anastasia’s call has really helped me get myself together for the big game.  She is a great player and an inspiration to me, and I have taken all her advice on board. - Tricia Wright

Former World Champion Anastasia went out of this inaugural PDC Unicorn Women’s World Championship to Stacy Bromberg – who Tricia now faces in the Final!

Anastasia said: “I phoned Tricia to wish her good luck and pass on some advice which I hope will help her do well.  It is great to see one of the Rileys’ qualifiers in the Final. I have my fingers crossed for Tricia to be named champion!”

Tricia is already guaranteed the £5,000 runner’s up prize if she falls to Bromberg.

Rileys, the UK’s largest pool and snooker operator, are opening Darts Zones across their clubs nationwide offering quality facilities for amateur players.  The Darts Zones feature championship-quality boards, hi-tech electronic scoring and specially-focused lighting. (Krispy: I’m chuffed to say that my local Rileys in Peterborough now a darts zone, so I better get there!)

Womens World Championships – Results from Barnsley

I did get to see some of the ladies play – I must say I did feel for Annastasia, who must have been feeling the pressure heaped on her – if she won through to the final it would have been ‘yeah but of course she did’..  so I think that must have preyed on her mind as she went out in the semi-final.  I had a nod early on that Tricia Wright would make the final – as other male pro’s told me she was a cracking player.

Both Tricia Wright & Stacy Bromberg made the final, winning some not insignficant prize money, well done ladies.
