2011 Sky Bet Mobile World Matchplay Preview
Posted on July 14th, 2011
Draw | Schedule | Roll of Honour | History & Related News | 2010 Results | PDC Preview
Changes are afoot in the PDC; the major tournaments are being sponsored by ever more obscure companies (what the Dickens are Speedy Hire doing sponsoring darts?) and the names no longer roll off the tongue, as the upcoming Sky Bet Mobile World Matchplay demonstrates.
In fact several of the majors do not currently have a sponsor (the World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts, Players Championship, World Cup) which reflects the global economy and must be a continual struggle for Barry Hearn and his team to find backers. Watch out for the ‘Domino’s Pizza UK & Ireland Championship League Darts’ coming soon to a laptop near you.
That is all away from the board and regardless of any suspected financial struggles darts is reported to be booming so prize money continues to rise. £400,000 is up for grabs in Blackpool next week, with a quarter of it going to the winner.
The World Matchplay is generally considered to be second only to the World Championship and a favourite of many fans. The ornate majesty of the Winter Gardens is an unlikely darts venue but is a sight to behold and a pilgrimage that all darts fans should experience.
In keeping with the sea change away from the oche there is a strong whiff of change on it. Phil Taylor is no longer the domineering force we have gotten used to and although he still goes off 11/8 favourite with tournament sponsors, Sky Bet, now is the time to take him on in the tournament he loves.

March With A Spring In Your Step – March Newsletter
Posted on March 21st, 2009
Welcome to our Spring Newsletter! Spring is upon us and there a few darters with a spring in their step at the moment.
Phil Taylor continued his hot streak with victory in both German Players Championship events at the end of February. He didn’t travel to Scotland the following week where Robert Thornton took full advantage to claim back to back home wins, his first since joining the PDC.
In the Whyte & Mackay Premier League, Mervyn King has blazed a trail over the opening few weeks, storming to the top of the league in an unbeaten start. A recent wobble has seen him toppled by James Wade at the head of the table and with several players coming into form it’s hotting up nicely.
And Aussie chucker Simon Whitlock has joined the ever growing ranks of the PDC. Whitlock is a fine player and will hope to emulate King and Thornton but the first battle he will have on his hands may well be over the use of his Wizard nickname! Colin Osborne v Simon Whitlock in a Nickname Playoff Match??

Posted on February 11th, 2009
