Czech Open
BDO stars aplenty headed over to the Czech Republic for the
2013 Czech Open on 23rd November, but it was Scott Waites
who will have come home the happiest after the current
Lakeside World Champion claimed the overall victory.
Waites came through early round clashes with Ivo Tretera, Evert
Bergman and Peter Craig without dropping a single leg, before a 4-2
victory over Envin Kavaoglu in the last 32 saw him reach the points
paying positions.
Waitees was not done there however and he went on to defeat Martin
Atkins 4-0 in the last 16, before a quarter final victory over fellow
Yorkshireman Garry Thompson set up a mouth watering semi-final
against Daryl Fitton.
In the event Waites was able to defeat Fitton 5-2, before moving on to
defeat close friend Gary Robson 6-3 in a well contested final.
Deta Hedman meanwhile, claimed victory in the ladies event. After a
4-1 victory over Iveta Bruska in the quarter finals she went on to defeat
Ann Willkomm 4-0 in the semi-finals before completing the victory with
a 5-3 win over Aileen de Graaf in the final.
