Ferryhill Club can boast of having two of the top four singles darts players after Roy Brown won through his semi-final to join Phil Nixon, who had already qualified.

Brown entertained Jez Porter from Leicester in front of a very good crowd, who saw some great throwing. The first leg of the best of five went to Brown when he checked out in 11 darts.

The second leg was taken to a replay after the players drew because of the equal darts rule. However in the re-run, Brown got on top and went on to take the leg in fourteen darts. Brown completed a whitewash success when he took the third leg in 13 darts.

During the match, Brown hit three 180s, whilst Porter found the maximum twice.
