                        TRINA HONOURED WITH A "TRINA TRAIL" 

Trina Gulliver has been uniquely honoured in her home town of Southam, Warwickshire, with seven specially made benches to celebrate her seven consecutive BDO Lakeside Women’s World titles from 2001 to 2007.

Each specially engraved bench has been placed in sites around the town which are special to Trina – starting at the Bowling Green Pub, which was run by her parents and where she lived until the age of 4.

The benches celebrate each of the seven years in which Trina

won her titles, and an attractive colour brochure has been produced. It is entitled ‘The Trina Trail’ and describes Trina as ‘Southam’s Golden Girl’.

Darts is also a winner, because never before has a darts player been honoured in this way. “I feel completely overwhelmed that Southam has honoured me and my achievements in darts in such a unique way”, says Trina. “The town and its people have given me tremendous support throughout my career and I am proud that they have recognised me in this way.”

Not only is the trail destined to become an enjoyable walk for local people, but it is now a tourist attraction in the town.

GRAND SLAM OF DARTS 2010



Yorkshire's Scott Waites gave a spectacular performance in the Grand Slam of Darts which ended in Wolverhampton this evening. On his way to the final he came second in his Round Robin group beating Ted Hankey (5-3) and Wayne Mardle (5-0) but losing to Simon Whitlock (4-5). In the knockout stages he had excellent wins over Gary Anderson (10-9), Simon Whitlock (16-13) and Terry Jenkins (16-11). Unfortunately the high scoring and clinical finishing which had been a feature of his play all week deserted him in the final and a rampant Phil Taylor ran out an easy (16-2) winner.

Tony O'Shea also showed his class winning all three of his group matches against Colin Osbourne (5-2), Colin Lloyd (5-2) and Brian Woods (5-3). He had a narrow win over Mark Webster (9-10) in the first "KO" round before losing (7-16) to Phil Taylor.

Ted Hankey, Brian Woods, Darryl Fitton and Francis Hoenselaar all failed to progress from the Round Robin Groups.
