Australia’s premier dart players contest a fantastic last few rounds at the Pacific Masters Darts Championships in the Chan Building Darwin today. Three of the final four Men’s players have represented Australia at World Cups and other international events around
the world.

Tony David (pictured above) won his first Pacific Masters title when he defeated fellow Australian Team Representative Steve Duke in a fluctuating final. Duke started strongly winning the first two legs before David got on his wining way winning the next two. Duke responded strongly to take the next two to take a 4-2 lead. Tony David is renowned for his fighting ability and longer games go, the better be plays. He fought back to win the next four legs and win the title 6-4.

It was great to see Northern Territory player Kathleen Logue make it through so far into this event. Kathleen is a junior player and will represent Australia in Epinal France at the World Cup late in September.

Final averages: Carol Forwood 20.483 – Kerry Jacobs 19.765

Today’s competition highlighted how strong and even the darts competition is at
this level.
Some of the big names that you would expect to come through to the finals were early casualties in gaining some of the prize money and international ranking points.

Both the Ladies and Men’s events hold World Ranking Points, and both winners have gained an invitation into the Winmau World Masters being played in the U.K. late in October by winning this event.
