SCOTTISH YOUTH OPEN TO BE SPONSORED BY RILEYS

The Scottish Youth Committee are proud to announce a new sponsorship deal with Rileys to host the Scottish Youth Open. The 2010 Open will be held in Rileys Bridge Place Aberdeen on Saturday 28th August with the 2011 event will be held in Central/South Scotland in a Rileys club which will have a Darts Zone put in at a later date in 2010. The event will then alternate between these two venues.

Cheshire’s Robbie Green topped the March averages in the Rileys BDO Inter-Counties Championships with what is believed to be a record-breaking BICC single dart average of 42.94 (which equates to a 128.82 three-dart average).

Not surprisingly, this won him the BDO’s March award for the highest average in the Premier Division of the BICC.

Robbie, who was runner-up in the 2009 Winmau World Masters, will be in the England 12-man team which will compete in the 2010 BDO British Internationals at The Spa, Bridlington on April 10^th and 11^th.

As further confirmation of the standard of play (and players) in the BDO County system, Micky Reed (Beds) topped Division 1 with a 31.31 single darts average, and by an amazing coincidence the Division 2 Award was shared by Paul Hogan (Berks) and Daniel Willimott (Suffolk) with identical 31.31 single dart averages.

John Elliott of Northants ‘B’ claimed the Division 3 Award with a 32.67 single darts average, and congratulations go to Paul Rowley (Shrops) with a 33.40 single dart average to win the Division 4 top average award, and not to be outdone Alan Norris, playing for East Stirlingshire recorded  a 32.67 single darts average to win the Scotland North top average award, and Ross Montgomery (E. Renfrewshire) hit a magnificent 34.95 single darts average to win the top average award for Scotland South.

The women’s averages for March were equally impressive, with Olive Byamukama of Lancashire recording an impressive 29.47 single dart average to top the Premier Division averages.
