EASTBOURNE INTERNATIONAL DARTS WEEKEND ...
30 January-1 February 2004 - A huge Hampshire contingent always makes the short trip along the coast to Eastbourne’s Winter Gardens for its International Darts Weekend and this time, as often before Andy Jenkins was the top performer.

He featured well in both ranked singles events with a last four spot in the Professional event including a ten dart leg during the afternoon and a run to the quarter finals in the Open Singles. Ronnie Baxter got the better of him in the Professional event and Al Hedman in the Open Singles but neither were a match for Dutch Master Roland Scholten in their respective finals.

Ranking points were also earned by Aaron Turner and James Wade in the last 32 and 64 of the Professional event and by Mick Cookman in the last 16, Steve Phipps and Paul Hogan in the last 32 of the Open Singles.

Jane Monaghan continued her rise to prominence reaching the Ladies semi finals. Jane is likely to travel to some of the ranked opens this season and on this showing it will not be long before she features in the later stages of another major event.
