WINMAU WORLD MASTERS ...
28 September 2004 - Four Hampshire players will be at Bridlington for the World Masters in October. Paul Hogan appears to have the best chance being drawn on Co Stompé's board but former World Champion Les Wallace has a tough group headed by top seeded Raymond van Barneveld.

Hampshire's two representatives in the Boys event have tough opposition. John Andrews opens against 12 year old Swede Oskar Lukusiak who hit a nine dart 501 in the Danish Open Boys Singles. Shane Clifft starts his campaign against a Gibraltarian but could then meet Mark Venema of the Netherlands who recently made the semi-finals of the Open Emmen.

Unfortunately there are no Hampshire players in either the Ladies or Girls events. The full draws are at www.dartswdf.com


BUDWEISER UK OPEN ...
26 September 2004 - Bob Crawley has an excellent day at Newport reaching the last 16 of the Welsh heat of the Budweiser UK Open. He already looks set for a third consecutive visit to the televised £124,000 Grand Finals at the Reebok Stadium next June but will be keen to cement a place in the top 32 to avoid the opening two rounds and guarantee a payday.

His remarkable run came to an end at the hands of eleven time world champion Phil Taylor who was in quite mercurial form as he homed in on the title winning five legs in 64 darts. Bob had himself eclipsed the twice world finalist Peter Manley in the previous round by the same scoreline hardly letting "One Dart" the chance to demonstrate how he got his nickname. He had also removed twice former World champion Dennis Priestley earlier in the day in a blistering match.

Andy Jenkins and Colin Monk both reached the last 32 where eventual finalist Tommy Wilson and Andy Smith snatched late wins respectively.

James Wade had tested Taylor in the last 64 and held him at 3-3 before "The Power" ran out a 5-3 winner.
