UK Darts Issue 16 - July 2014 | Page 3

Editors Intro... It has been a comparatively quiet few weeks when it comes to televised darts, but away from the big arenas and the TV cameras life on both the PDC and BDO circuits has moved on at a considerable pace. Both James Wade and Vincent van der Voort have recorded resurgent tournament victories on the European Tour ahead of this month’s World Matchplay in Blackpool and Trina Gulliver too is back in winning ways having lifted the BDO Gold Cup for a record third time. Inside the magazine we have full coverage of all of these tournaments and more, along with some great features including: A look at how the World Matchplay is set to be a battle of an incredible English record in the tournament and an irresistible Dutch dominance of this season’s major tournaments. A look at the life and times of ex-PDC pro Mark Holden and an interview with Andrew Gilding ahead of his Matchplay debut.

So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride… Mike Glover Editor: Mike Glover Contributing Writers: Mike Glover @MikeGlover180 Alex Crouch @Alex_Crouch_92 Ben Wiltshire @BenWiltshire1 Editorial: [email protected] Advertising: [email protected] Love Darts ?
