The Harlow Darts Grand Prix at The Venue, Harlow Stadium
Posted on January 29th, 2012
Here is an interesting idea from Gary and the team at GB Darts Promotions, a series of Grand Prix and Open darts tournaments over the course of 2012, culminating in a Grand Final where the top 64 players from the 
Order of merit and 8 wildcards compete for the extra special first prize. What’s so special about it? Well the eventual winner will recieve sponsorship to play either the BDO or PDC Circuit in 2013.
At the time of writing it is unclear what this level of sponsorship will be, and those who elect to take on the PDC boys will have to go through Q School if they are not already a tour card holder or PDPA associate member. Still it’s a great opportunity, and each individual event has a decent prize pool so tungsten excellence will be rewarded throughout the year. Read the rest of this entry »

Lakeside 2012 Christian Kist is The BDO Darts World Champion
Posted on January 15th, 2012
Mens Final Result
Congratulations to the new 2012 Lakeside World Champion Christian Kist, the trophy heads back to Holland for the first time since Jelle Klaasen won the event in 2006.
At 6-2 ahead the Dutchman looked to be cruising to victory, however O’Shea drew on 11 years of Lakeside experience, going for broke he clawed it back to 4-6 to make a game of it, and Kist something to think about.
And perhaps he did, Kist proceeded to miss both doubles and big numbers allowing the Silverback to take the eleventh set without reply, including a brilliant 116 checkout under pressure in the third leg.
The 25 year old debutant hit back though in the twelth and final set, reeling of 2 quick legs and eventually taking out double 16 for the match, the £100k cheque, trophy and title of Lakeside 2012 Champion.
First to 7 Sets,
Tony O’Shea 5 v 7 Christian Kist
