Bajowski, Valentine take out graded singles titles

Both divisions were split into four groups where each player played the other players in their group in a round robin.

The top two players from each group then went into a final-eight knockout within their division.

There was a three-way play-off in one of the groups in first division as all three players, Andrew Beaumont, John Villiers and Kodye Clark, finished with the same number of wins and leg win percentage.

One leg of 501 was played by all three, with the first two pegging going through to the knockout stage. John pegged first then Kodye — Andrew was eliminated.

Michael Bajowski was dominant in the first division, storming through the round-robin stage without dropping a leg.

In the semi-finals, Darren Manners took care of John Villiers to progress to the final. Michael then played Dylan Oaff.

Dylan put up a bit of resistance, but Michael proved just too strong and then joined Darren in the final.

Michael defeated Darren in a high-quality final, which ended with a 4-0 outcome, which probably doesn’t do justice to Darren, who also played very well.

The event produced outstanding performances. Michael threw four 180s and a 13-dart leg along the way. John Villiers and Dylan both threw two 180s.

The second division, although not quite as high a standard, saw young Caylee Crilly, the only junior competing, go through the round-robin stage, also without losing a leg.

Unfortunately, however, her run ended when she lost her first game to Greg Williams in the knockout stage.

Greg then lost to Liam Clark in the first semi-final, and Shane Valentine defeated Kane Martin in the second.

The final proved to be a real nail-biter. Shane defeated Liam 3-2 with a mighty 131 peg to clinch victory in the deciding leg. Liam threw a 14-dart leg.
