In the Junior Boys competition Jaret Dion from Manitoba won his National title. This is a huge victory for his province as this title was last won back in 2003 by Clayton Downs. Making his way there Jaret took out some tough competition along the way. First Logan Crooks of Alberta took his seat as Jaret won the match 3-1 in the top 8. Next up was Ontario's own Denver Jones who took the match to the distance but could not shake Jaret out of his victory with a 3-2 score line. In the finals Jaret met up with host provinces hopeful Brayden Legge (2011 Jr Boys Champion) for another match of taking it to the max. With all the pressure for the title Jaret held his own over Brayden with another 3-2 win to become the 2013 National Champion! Way to go gentlemen!

Defending champion from Ontario, Oceanna Watson continues her dominance of the game by taking her 3rd consecutive nationals singles title.

Taking her third straight title Oceanna knocked out Brittany Lyons of Saskatchewan 3-2 moving her into the semis to meet the 2010 & 2011 Jr. Girls Singles Champ Robin Barnes of Newfoundland & Labrador. With a 3-2 match score Oceanna moved to the finals stage to play off against Alberta’s Matyna Gutfreund. There was no stopping the defending champion now, as she wrapped up the title with a 3-0 win over Matyna. Awesome darts ladies!

Dawson who has been getting his experience out there on the circuit dropped only one leg on his way to the title. Top 8 saw Quintin Hope from British Columbia move to the sidelines while Keiffer Durham of Ontario was the only player to take a leg off the champ in the semis.

Cameron wrapped up the top spot with a 20 point spread in the Men's game. Alberta's Norm Tremblay held onto second place with over fellow Albertan Terry Hayhurst with the tie breaker rule (58 points each) while Martin Tremblay of Quebec held onto the fourth spot.

K-W TRI CITY OPEN 2012 - NDFC Ranked

February-05-13

 

Mother Nature's blast of winter did not deter our Canadian darters from supporting the 10th annual K-W Tri City Open hosted by Chad & Nicole Hergott in Kitchener Ontario.

With 4 Singles, 5 Doubles, Mixed Triples & a Blind Draw event there was a lot on tap over the weekend to appease all darters along with a $9200. prize purse!

Chad & Nicole

With the Early Bird Singles kicking off the weekend, from Orangeville Ontario, David Switzer 'the 'Dolph Lungren' (Rocky IV) of darts' took his title home defeating Canada's #1 ranked man Dave Cameron of Nova Scotia in the finals.

The Men's 501 Singles was a real cracker as Canada's best (109 Men) battled for victory coming from East & West to challenge Ontario's best! Dan Olson of Ontario is no stranger at this event. Olson had no easy route to the finals as he slewed a number of top shooters on his way to the top 4 where he knocked out Peter Sawatzky to guarantee his spot in the finals. On the other side of the house Ross Snook had his work cut out for him also has he carved his way to the top four to face off against Andre Carman. Snook stayed determined and ousted Carman to face off against Olson.

In the best of 9 legs in the finals Olson was looking pretty good with a 4-1 lead. Snook turned up the heat to move back into contention winning the next two legs to set match score now at 4-3. Olson though had other plans as he was determined to not give Snook a chance at tying up the match & clinched the victory with a 5-3 score line!

Hats off to Olson but this win is not the story of this article as the big news is that this is the 5th time that Olson has claimed this very title! Way to go Dan!

The ladies were just as tough as 40 contenders stepped to the oche looking for the singles crown. Maria Mason made her way to the stage ousting Sherry Wilkens  in her semi finals while her doubles partner Christa Venedam took down Kellie Abbott (two time Team Ontario member) in a tight set to get into the finals. Mason who was on a roll over the weekend & kept the momentum going as she won the ladies singles crown over partner Venedam.

These two gals also cleaned up in the ladies doubles and ladies crickets event for three titles! Venedam had a shot at a 4th crown as she met Patricia Farrell of Newfoundland & Labrador in the Cricket Singles finals. A well battled match as these ladies went the distance with Farrell winning the bull to kick of the deciding leg. It was a back and forth tense match with Farrell closing out her bulls with a 180-120 score line over Venedam to take the match!
