The line-up is now complete for The Blue Bell Hotel Invitational Darts Championship which takes place on Saturday 19th April 2014 at the Burton Agnes venue and the four selected professionals will certainly not have it their own way in this highly competitive event. The competition, which boasts a total prize fund of £5,510, was devised by owner Alan Wilson and organised in association with York Darts Promotions and sponsored by Fosters and Heineken.

 

Stage 3, played on Saturday 8th March, saw PDC player David Copley defeat Cleveland's Kenny Dobson (19-19-18-20) 5-4 in the best of nine leg final with legs of 18-19-21-18 and 18 darts.

 

Copley won 4-1 over Kevin Samuels in the semi-finals whilst Dobson's 117 finish for 18 was the highlight in the second semi-final as he whitewashed Andy Wheeler (Bridlington) in the second semi with all four players moving forward to the Grand Finals. Dobson also included a 117 finish for 18-17 and 16 in ending Mark Lawrence's run at the π final stage. Wheeler won 3-1 over Bill Hague, Samuels came back from 2-0 down to beat Jason Day 3-2 whilst Copley (13-15-16) beat Neil Hart (17-15).

 

Other legs of note at stage 3 came from Samuels 15, Jason Day 15, Hart 18 and 19, Darren Johnson 15-15-19, Dobson 18, Mark Lawrence 14 and Hague 19. Dobson also added a further 120 to his trio of ton plus finishes with Hart 106 the best for the rest. Further 180's scores were recorded by Shaun Day and Johnson. 

 

Several players returned the following day for the last qualifying Stage which saw Scarborough's Graham Usher whitewash PDC's Mark Lawrence with 16-15-15-16 and 14 darts with a 98.88 average. 

 

The final two places were taken up by Harvey Rodgers who lost 4-2 in the semi-finals to Usher (180 score for 17 and 118 finish for 18) with Bill Hague going down 4-1 to Lawrence ( 2 x 180's in 2 x 15 dart legs).
