Birmingham Weekend of Darts Triumphs As Borland Claims Title

The tail end of 2022 Saw a second Birmingham Weekend of Darts at Weoley Castle WMC. Huge credit must go to Stephen ‘Spag’ Pasetti who has built these events from the ground up over almost a decade. The resultant effort ensures that the weekend now awards more prize money than many ranking events and a superb time is had by all.

There were men’s and ladies’ knockouts for both Saturday and Sunday with a strong line-up in all four events with a total pay-out for the weekend of £7880.00.

The semi-finals of Saturday’s men’s knockout saw Luke Woodhouse lose 6-2 to William Borland and Adam Warner beat Jonny Haines 6-4. In the final William Borland lifted the title and the top prize money beating Adam Warner 6-4.

In the Ladies’ knockout the semis saw Trina Gulliver MBE chalk up a convincing 5-1 win over Evonne Taylor and making her way into the final from the other half of the draw was Paula Jacklin who won 5-3 against Jenny Shail. The final turned out to be a very close affair with Paula Jacklin narrowly losing 5-4 to champion Trina Gulliver MBE.

In the men’s Sunday knockout, Jonny Haines made his exit once again in the last four as he lost 6-2 to Lee Evans. Local Tipton man Jamie Hughes won the second of the semi-finals when he won 6-5 against Reece Colley. Lee Evans continued his unbelievable form in the final beating, Jamie Hughes, 6-1.

Warwickshire and England player Natalie Gilbert had a straight 5-0 win her semi-final against Sarah Roberts while the second of the semis was a repeat of the previous day when Trina Gulliver MBE and Yvonne Taylor squared up to each other but on this occasion, the result was reversed as Yvonne Taylor progressed to the final with a narrow 5-4 victory. Yvonne Taylor carried her fine form into the final beating Natalie Gilbert 5-3.
