Andrews marches on at Trinity Venue
Barton-Upon-Humber darts ace Ian Andrews became the fourth amateur player to take his place at the YDP Pro-am Grand Finals in York in October 2014 winning Knockout 4 at the New Trinity Club in Hull.
Andrews declared his early intentions with 2 x 21 dart legs in his first round win over Charlie Houghton which were soon followed by 15 and 16 darters en-route to his final match against former County player Gavin Lewis. Lewis who was playing in his first competition since coming back from dartitis threw a 108 finish for 18 and 18 as he impressed in his semi-final win over Shaun Hoodless and was unlucky in missing a 153 finish to take the final, leaving Andrews to win a close encounter 2-1.
Andrews beat Colin Mason 2-1 in the other semi-final with Mason earlier posting a 16 and the fastest leg of the night 13 darts. Other legs of note came from James Tennyson 14, with Dean Spendlow 16 and 19, and Graham Coult 19 darts.
180^s were recorded by Karl Houghton, Mason, Carl South whilst Dean Spendlow closed on 108.
The Blind Pairs event saw Hoodless make amends for his singles semi-final defeat when being drawn with Neil Hart and winning the final 2-1 against John Cook and Adrew Hanks.
Losing semi-finalists were Graham Coult/Kev Ayrey and Pam Mason/Eddie Firth.
