The ever-popular Coventry Christmas Open was once again staged at the Hen Lane Social Club and produced top class darts throughout the day.
From an initial entry of seventy players the semi-finals of the singles competition saw Chris Wickenden beat Stephen Tomkins 5-2 and joining him in the final was David Davies with a 5-1 success over Noel Grant.
In the final Chris Wickenden made it an amazing third consecutive victory when he beat David Davies 5-1.
The two singles finalists then paired up in the doubles knockout and after beating Wayne Mynard and Karl Reynolds 4-3 in the semis then took on Ben Gamble and Sam Matthews in the final after they had accounted for Adam Gallett and Matt Gallett in the last four with a 4-2 result.
Wickenden and Davies scooped the top prize when they beat Gamble and Matthews 5-0 in the final.
The total paid out on the day was a fantastic £1430.
