Scotty’s Reports 2010/11 Season Sponsors Tel: 01202 433360 Mobile: 07885 372308 Scotty’s reports from this season will be found here . BDO British Classic - Kettering Scotty unfortunately just missed out of points after being defeated in the Last 32 by Peter Boughey of Cheshire. England National Singles and England Masters 2011 Blackpool’s Norbreck Castle Hotel proved to be a fantastic setting for the latest leg in the BDO invitation tour, with a number of Open Events coupled to the England National Singles and the Ranking England Masters. Scotty progressed well through his group and into the Last 8 of the England National Singles finally being defeated by Gary Robson 3-2, with Gary going on to take the title. The England Masters proved to be a great day of Darts with Scotty progressing agin well through his group with wins against Paul Bailey, Jimmy Summers, David Adshead, Jim Withers before playing Gary Robson for the second time of the Weekend in the Last 16. This proved to be Scotty’s day as he triumphed 3-1 and moved into the Quarter Final on the TV Lane to play John “Boy” Walton in a game which was streamed Live to the World. A very Close game, with John moving ahead into a 2-1 lead, before Scotty levelled at 2-2 after a few missed doubles from both players. Unfortunately Scotty couldn’t find the Win in leg 5 he needed and John progressed into the Stage  Semi Finals. Another 12 points towards Lakeside Qualification, so a very satisfied Scott for the Weekend. Bicc County Championship Scotty started this years county championship well with a Man of the Match performance. This season we see 7 Leg matches in the A teams, and Scott ran out 4-0 Winner with a 29.91 Average and taking the 4th Leg with a 164 out shot. Scott also won the £100 prize for Highest Mens average over the weekend. So a good winning start for Scott and also a winning start for Dorset beating Derbyshire 21-15. Scotty made a great start to the Next Qualifying campaign by reaching the Quarter finals of the Tops of Ghent. On his way to the Quarters he defeated fellow Lychett Superleague Team mate and Dorset County Team mate, Richard Perry (4-2), Angelo Hermans (4-2), Stephen McNally (4-3), Welsh International Jamie Lewis (4-2) and Stefaan Deprez (4 -3) before finally losing out in a 9 leg match 5-4 to Jeffrey de Graaf of the Netherlands.

Left to Right Richard “HIHO” Perry Mark “Potty” Porter and John “HighTower” Clark Scotty’s Red Dragon Blog from Ghent Tops of Ghent 2011 I travelled with a couple of my Dorset county team mates to Tops of Ghent, where the venue was fantastic. We were playing in an indoor Athletics area that was so well suited too us darts athletes!! I had a good run in the singles but drew one of my mates Rich Perry 1st match, which is ironic after travelling all the way to Belgium with him. Luckily I scraped by him 4-2 and then ended up playing and beating ex England international Steve McNally in last 64 4-3. In last 32 I played Belgian International Stefaan Daenekint and won 4-3, which was great as I came back from 3-1 down. In last 8 I played young Dutch lad Jeffery de Graff, and I got myself to 4-2 up on a 1st to 5 and then was hit by a whirlwind of 12, 13 and 12 dart legs to loose 5-4. What made it worse was that on the 13 dart leg I'd left tops after 12 darts, so what a talent for the future Jeffrey is. Overall really happy to get my 1st points for Lakeside 2013 qualification. I'd like to say a massive thank you to the event organisers for a fantastically run tournament, and lovely meal in the Ghent Irish Bar Patrick Foleys. The BDO Tour moves n to Czech Open in a couple of weeks in our quest for more points.
