ELECTRODARTS HAD TO DECIDE WHETHER TO CARRY ON WITH THE RUNNING OF THE HULL OPEN OR LET IT GO AND GET BIGGER WITH NEW IDEAS AND PRIZE MONEY. THE SAME DECISION HAD TO BE MADE WITH THE FOSTERS CLASSIC AND GUINNESS MASTERS. THIS DECISION WAS MADE FOR THE GOOD OF LOCAL DARTS AND THIS WILL MEAN BIGGER PRIZEMONEY FOR THE PLAYERS. GREAT NEWS FOR THE HULL OPEN THAT JOHN CATER PAINTING & DECORATING WILL BE THE SPONSOR OF THE 2010 HULL OPEN. WITH SPONSORSHIP SO DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN AT THE MOMENT THIS NOW MEANS THE FIRST PRIZE WILL BE £300. THE DATE OF SATURDAY, MAY 22ND WILL BE THE ONLY QUALIFIER WITH 16 PLAYERS GOING THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINAL. ANY DART PLAYER CAN ENTER ON THE DAY WITH REGISTRATION CLOSED AT 12.45. THE QUALYFYING ROUND WILL NOW BE PLAYED AT MANOR CLUB. PLAYING DOWN TO LAST 16 FOR THE GRAND FINAL ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 2ND
IT WAS CLAIMED IN THE SEPTEMBER 2009 ISSUE OF DARTS WORLD MAGAZINE THAT JOHN "BOY" WALTON HELD THE RECORD FOR THE FASTEST LEG OF 501 ON THE YORKSHIRE DOUBLE BOARD. THIS HAS BEEN FOUND NOT TO BE TRUE AND HERE IS THE REPLY FROM ELECTRODARTS WHICH WAS PRINTED IN THE NOVEMBER ISSUE OF DARTS WORLD. IN THE OCTOBER ISSUE OF DARTS WORLD IT WAS SAID THAT THE FASTEST LEG ON YORKSHIRE DOUBLE BOARD WAS BY JOHN WALTON. THIS INFORMATION IS INCORRECT, AS THE RECORD TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IS HELD BY JOHN WALKER OF HULL, WHO COMPLETED HIS LEG IN 14 DARTS. HE SCORED: 130, 100, 85, 110 & 76 GAME SHOT WITH DOUBLE 18 & DOUBLE 20. THIS WAS ACHIEVED IN THE HULL JUPITER CUP WHILE PLAYING FOR THE WOLDS HOTEL IN 1974. JOHN WAS AN ACCOMPLISHED PLAYER, HAVING REACHED THE SEMI-FINALS OF THE NEWS OF THE WORLD IN 1972. HE WAS MAN OF THE MATCH FOR THE NATIONAL DARTS ASSOCIATION VERSUS SCOTLAND IN 1975 WITH AN AVERAGE OF 106. SADLY, HE PASSED AWAY IN 2008. THE 18 DARTS WAS ALSO BETTERED BY JOHN PICKERING WHEN WINNING THE NEIL EDMONDSON MEMORIAL IN 1994 WITH GAMES WON IN 15 & 17 DARTS, RESPECTIVELY. STEVE BURWELL ALSO HIT A 17 DART LEG IN THE 2005 IDEAL STANDARD CHARITY CHALLENGE ON STAGE FOR THE ALAN BURGESS LEGENDS TEAM. MARSTONS SMOOTH BITTER LEAGUE MIKE ATKINSON(GOOLE) HAS WON THE MARSTONS SMOOTH CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS WITH A 3-2 FINALS WIN OVER BEN MALTON. LOSING SEMI FINALISTS WERE STUART JENNINGS AND KEVIN MOONEY STEVE TRANMER WON THE MARSTONS 701 CUP WITH A FINAL VICTORY OVER MIKE ATKINSON. STEVE TRANMER ALSO LIFTED THE MARSTONS SMOOTH HULL MERIT LEAGUE TITLE FOR 2009 FOLLOWING VICTORIES IN THE FOSTERS CLASSIC AND ELECTRODARTS CLASSIC Mike Atkinson recieves his trophy and £100 prizemoney from Electrodarts organiser Tom Edmondson.
