Allied Hotels Cup winners the Exiles

St Ola Cup winners, The Sands.

The darts season got under way in style in the Legion last Monday night, with 8 'A' teams contesting the Allied Hotels Cup. The round robin format produced plenty of close encounters, and no shortage of quality darts as 10 180s rained in on the opening night. Eventually Exiles '2' ran out 3-2 victors over Sanday '1', with Kenny Gunn defeating Brian Moar in the nominated player decider to take home the spoils.

The 'B' boys got their season under way in the Masonic on Tuesday, again with 8 teams entering a round robin format. Once more the final went all the way, with Jamie Drever defeating Erlend Lennie in the nominated player decider for a 3-2 win for Sands over Tankerness.

This Friday sees the first open singles of the season, the much sought after Jimmy Miller Memorial Open Singles, take place in the Legion. With plenty of Jimmy's family and friends entering on the night, its always a fun way to kickoff the singles competitions for the year ahead. This is followed on Monday and Tuesday with the next of the 'A' and 'B' team cups respectively.

180s were scored by: Daryl Robertson, Billy Ward, Stevie Linklater, Kevin Peace, Kevin Sarling, Erlend Lennie (two), Kevin Gray (two) and Brian Moar (three).
