"Walk in the park for Doggy”
Brian "Doggy” Dawson produced seventeen legs of 21 darts or less en-route to victory in Ranking Stage 1 of the 4th Streamline Taxis York Open Darts Championship sponsored by Red Dragon Darts. The event which now consists of Ten Ranking Stages, with the best eight sets of points counting towards each players ranking position, saw 78 players from across the region entering the Huntington WMC based event.
York’s Chris Mathews (20-20) went 3-1 up against Dawson (20) after taking advantage of missed doubles from the Yorkshire County star. Dawson then conjured up legs of 14-21 and 15 to take a 4-3 lead with Mathews then replying with 19 to take the match to a decider. Scores of 140-100 and 180 in 13 darts gave Dawson a very valuable 5-4 win and 20 Ranking Points.
The Semi-finals had quality written all over them with Mathews hitting 3 x 180’s in legs of 14-14-15 and 21 to defeat York’s John Quantock (16-21) 4-2 whilst Dawson (14-15-17 and 18) put an end to Cleveland’s Peter Maws hopes of a first victory at a York Darts Promotions event.
