Essex Open Championship 2012
The Winmau Essex Open Championship 2012 will take place at Colchester United Football Club on the 26th of February 2012 and will be played exclusively on the Blade 4 dartboard.
The Essex Open always receives a huge number of entrants, as it carries a good prize fund, is BDO ranked and is promoted in partnership with Colchester United F.C. at The Weston Homes Community Stadium (which is one of the UK’s most modern darts venues). The 2011 event did not disappoint as, after eight hours of darts involving over 300 players, the tournament ended up being decided on one leg of darts, and was won by England International Steve Douglas.

2011 BDO British Open Results
Posted on September 17th, 2011
2011 BDO British Open – The Spa Bridlington
Yorkshire produced two champions, with Scott Waites continuing where he left off in Hull to take the mens title and Lorraine Farlam whitewashing Trina Gulliver in the ladies competition. Waites now adds the British Open to his 2011 CV along with the Winmau Masters (pictured) and Swedish Open.
Scotty 2 Hotty needs to maintain this form, in November he attempts to defend his Grand Slam of Darts title in Wolverhampton and then again in January as he sets his eyes on winning Lakeside 2012. Success in the latter event would surely prompt a move to the PDC as Scott hinted in his recent interview with DartsMad.
Below is the official report taken from the BDO website: Read the rest of this entry »
