The mere fact that a complete WDF year with a World Championship, and now a World Masters, under their belt has been delivered post-Covid, can only be good for the global reach of darts...
Beau Greaves dominated many weekend headlines, whilst after a wait of 16 years, when a certain MVG claimed the crown, the Men’s Winmau World Master is a Dutchman.
Pratnemer won his second ranking title of the year and fifth overall, in the Men’s World Open, coming through a bumper field of 358 players and beating Leung in the final.
The World Champion won her round-robin group without dropping a leg and she continued the trend on day two, winning all four knockout games to nil to reach the semi-finals.
Day one saw the round-robin phase take place, with 290 players spread over 64 groups with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout rounds.
Despite the various difficulties which seem to have beset the return of the oldest of the modern era events all dart fans will wish them well as the final post covid jigsaw piece is replaced in the WDF jigsaw.
Guernsey were formally granted full Membership status of the WDF, which is a real boost to darts in the region, with Jersey already having that level of affiliation.
