Brian Fox & Bob Anderson Snr Memorial Events 2009

BRIAN FOX / BOB ANDERSON Snr MEMORIAL COMPETITIONS REPORT 2009


The Brian Fox Memorial Singles and Bob Anderson Snr Memorial pairs dart competitions took place at the Rugby Club in Basingstoke on Saturday 20th June 2009, in aid of the Heart of Darts Charity.

The Bob Anderson Snr Memorial pairs saw Kev Ede from Winchester and Kevan Merritt from Basingstoke, win £80 plus trophy and memento, beating Robbie Hare and Nick Popham, both from the Isle of Wight, 4-3 in the final, who took away £40. The losing semi-finalists were Nillson Pritchard from Southampton and Steve Barnes from Andover and Brian Bennis and Les Gibbs, both from Basingstoke, each pair receiving £15.

Nillson Pritchard from Southampton won the Brian Fox Memorial Singles, winning £80 plus trophy. He beat Graham Hardy, from Basingstoke, 4-3 in the final, who took away £40. The losing semi-finalists were Robbie Hare, last year’s winner from the Isle of Wight and Kev Ede from Winchester, each receiving £20.

John Bartlett, the organiser, said the event was a great success in the new venue, with a lot of support from both players and spectators, raising just over £400 for the Heart of Darts charity. This money was raised from 50% of the entry fees, donations from the dart players, a raffle and from selling the heart of dart pins.

John would like to thank the families for their contribution and support and for all those who entered to make it such a memorable day. Thanks also to the Rugby Club for holding the event this year.

This was the 4th year of holding these events and the Rugby Club have confirmed they are happy to continue with this event the same time next year, with a provisional date arranged for 19th June 2010.
