Sunday 25th September Broken Cross Open Darts Competition

Sunday saw the 2nd running of the Broken Cross Open Darts Knockout at The Broken Cross Club, Macclesfield, which had an impressive total prize purse of £1000.

The event had an entry of 84 players battling it out for the £500 first prize.
The event seems to have gained credibility by the attendance of many county players, including the England international Darryl "The Dazzler" Fitton, and even attracted players from as far away as Oxford.

The event started at 11.30, and ran for just over 6 hours, with a packed room of darts enthusiasts being treated to a feast of high quality dartistry. Favourite on the day Daz Fitton did not disappoint and stormed through to the final showing some very impressive form. Daz did not have it all his own way in the final where he came up against a very worthy opponent in Ian Hunter.
Ian took the first two legs in impressive style but although he continued to throw very well, Daz stepped up a gear and took the next five legs to win 5-2. The final was high calibre and a credit to both players.

The ladies competition was won by local lady Mel Bailey who, as in the semi-final, recovered from two legs down to defeat Rita Carus 3-2.

Phil Taylor moved a step closer to darting immortality as he won his twelfth world title and tenth at the Circus Tavern by beating Mark 'Flash' Dudbridge 7-4 in the final of the 2005 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship.
Taylor won the match in style with two successive 100+ checkouts in the final set just as it looked as if Dudbridge was going to force the game in to a twelfth set.
In a match that never quite lived up expectations, and certainly not the height's of the last two finals, it was all about which player took advantage of their opponents misfortune. And more often than not it was The Power who punished the Bristolian in key legs early on in the contest. Dudbridge can not claim to have had no chances against Taylor and Phil certainly wasn't at full power and the key dart seemed to come in the fourth set when Mark had a dart for a 3-1 lead in sets but Taylor duly stepped in to punish. That moment seemed to play on Mark's mind but to his credit he fought to the end and even equalled the record for the amount of 180's in a match at the Circus Tavern (14).

The first set was littered with missed doubles from Taylor but even still he had enough scoring power behind him to take the set against the throw. (Taylor won the bull but handed the throw to Dudbridge.) The second set was also a case of what might have been for Taylor as he missed darts in every leg of the set for the legs apart from the one that mattered as Dudbridge took out 121 to draw level, a finish he was to also take out later in the match.
One of the decisive factors of the match for Dudbridge was that whenever he broke The Power's throw, he seemed to lose concentration and Taylor would hit straight back, something that happened in the fourth set just as Dudbridge was looking for a 3-1 lead. He had won the third set despite Taylor taking out a massive 161 but in the deciding leg of that fourth set he missed double top and Taylor, as is his want, punished him.
As Bob Anderson had said after his semi-final defeat, any half chance that you get against Taylor you have to take and unfortunately for Mark, he was just falling short on the killer doubles. Taylor raced through the next set 3-0 as Dudbridge seemed to be mulling over what had gone before but he did fight back to win the following set against the throw. Missed doubles again from Dudbridge allowed Taylor to take the seventh set 3-0 and the eighth set went Taylor's way in the deciding leg.

A plethora of maximum's and a 121 checkout followed by a 144 finish was still not enough to take the ninth set for Dudbridge and we were in the middle of one of those familiar Power Surges. Dudbridge did manage to take the tenth set against the throw but Taylor quashed any hopes of a Dudbridge comeback by breaking Mark's throw in the very first leg of the next set and even though Dudbridge broke back again, those two ton plus finishes finally broke Dudbridge's brave fight. Yet another title for Taylor, who much longer can this darting phenomenon go on? "It's getting harder every year," said Taylor afterwards, "I kept breaking his throw but he just kept coming back at me. "I cannot speak highly enough of this young man, he is the future of darts and if he carries on improving at this rate he will be lucky enough to win the world title, without a doubt. "I'm over the moon though.

Even though the scoreline doesn't suggest it, this was harder to win than last year. I was lucky to get through against Bob because he outplayed me and the only reason I won tonight was because I hit my doubles a bit better than Mark." For Dudbridge it was the end of a highly successful week, but just as in Blackpool there was just one man that he couldn't pass. "I'm absolutely shattered," said Dudbridge, "I've put a hell of a lot into this week and I've practiced harder than I ever have done for any other tournament before. "I wasn't at my best tonight but the annoying thing is neither was Phil. But what can I say. I came up against the greatest player to ever walk the planet."
