WOMEN URGED TO SUPPORT THE MANX
EVENT
Women players are being urged
to support the popular
Isle of Man tournament.
The three day Ł20,000 event runs from March 7-9 ,and the Women’s
Singles offers a prize fund of more than Ł6000 - with
Ł3000 on offer to the winner - plus
|
|
important BDO
and WDF rankings points.
Tournament director Les France of LF
Promotions said: ”Twelve months ago support
for the women’s tournament was disappointing – despite the prize
purse on offer – so we hope the ladies will turn out in force
this year and repay the sponsor’s loyalty for backing the
women’s game.
“This year I have restructured the prize
listing, so that the women’s singles, like the men’s, pays down
to the last 64. However the future of this kind of support for
the ladies event does depend on the support given to the
competition.”
Welsh skipper Julie Gore will defend her
title, with double Manx champ Trina Gulliver keen to get back to
winning ways after her defeat at Lakeside.
It is hoped that the first ever East
European winner of the Lakeside Women’s World Darts Championship
– Anastasia Dobromyslova – will return to the impressive
seafront Villa Marina complex and improve on her Semi Final
placing 12 months ago.
2008 Lakeside World Pro Champion Mark
Webster is a confirmed starter, and keen to build on his
success. And there will be no shortage of players keen to claim
the scalp of the new prince of Welsh darts at
the 23rd staging of the Manx tournament.
Top prize in the prestige men’s singles is
Ł5000 and the event is expected to attract more than 500 title
hopefuls, eager for a share of the Ł9000 prize fund and rankings
points.
The three day tournament starts on Friday
March 7 with a warm-up mixed singles event.. Saturday sees the
Men’s and Women’s Singles, with the Men’s and Women’s Pairs,
followed by the finals of all events.
There will also be a play-off for the
Winmau World Boys & Girls Masters, with the winner earning a
place in the World Masters finals in Bridlington later in the
year.
Venue for the event is the showpiece Villa
Marina which overlooks the coastal town of Douglas, and up to 1000 darts players are
expected to attend, with players from Switzerland and Holland already confirmed.
Tournament director Les France added:
“There has been a lot of interest in the tournament and hotels
are rapidly filling up.”
