Members of the Darts World extended family were on the ground when Evolution Darts Grand Slam Pairs staged a superb inaugural event at Stonham Barns Park last weekend. A full compliment of 80 pairing took part including some of the country’s top players, including PDC tour card holders, Stephen Burton, Ryan Meikle, Keegan Brown and England International Jo Locke.
Burton and Meikle showed their superstar skill to win the tournament which was organised by Evolution Darts, with the support of Target Darts and The Darts Referee . Other, lesser known partnerships, performed superbly including Tommy and Ash Coleman who made the semi finals.
The event – with a £2000 prize fund – saw competitors coming from all over the UK to play at the community venue, The Barn.
Said Darren Moyes from Evolution Darts:
‘This was the perfect venue for the Grand Slam event and we were delighted with the way it all went.’
‘It was a fabulous tournament for the doubles players and a great opportunity for darts fans to watch some top quality matches live.’
Anthony Urmstom-Toft also enjoyed the day with his new doubles partner Andy Tucker as they prepare for an assault on the WDF tour in 2024.
A.J. added:
“Amazing Day at Stonham Barns Park for our first big doubles outing. 80 pairs stepped up to the oche! The standard was unreal all day long and everywhere you looked. Congrats to Ryan and Stephen they had the biggest target on their back and still came through to win!”
Next year a £7000 Suffolk Super Series event is being planned by Evolution Darts. With a qualifying event and the Grand Finals day being hosted at Stonham Barns Park. More details are available from Evolutiondarts.co.uk
