The event, which is run by the England Darts Organisation, was broadcast on Eurosport for the first time, with the latter stages of all four events being shown live. In the mens final Gary Robson ran out a 7-3 winner over Glen Durrant, although in truth this was more about the latter’s lack of performance rather than the formers fantastic display as Robson was able to run out a convincing winner with only a 90 average. In the semi-finals both men had come past tough Dutch challengers, with Robson defeating Jan Dekker and Durrant overcoming Wesley Harms. Meanwhile in the ladies event Anastasia Dobromyslova overcame Deta Hedman 4-3 in a thrilling final that in truth could not have been more evenly matched. Callan Rydz and Casey Gallagher claimed the boys and girls events respectively, whilst there was also success for Robbie Green and Alan Norris as well as Trina Gulliver and Lisa Ashton who secured victory in the respective pairs events.
