Last weekend in Selsey, England, the EDO hosted the English Open. The four finalists in the mens and womens singles were a repeat of the BDO International Open from 2 weeks ago but this time the results were reversed.

In the mens singles Ted Hankey played Tony O`Shea and took the title with a 5 - 0 win.

Irina Armstrong won her first English Open title by beating Trina Gulliver 3 - 1. The win also secures Irina an automatic qualifying place for the Lakeside World Pro in January as well as a place in the Zuiderduin Masters in December.
