FITTON & O’SHEA WIN DUTCH OPEN PAIRS

Darryl Fitton and Tony O^Shea Claimed the 2012 Dutch Open Pairs Title from a fiercely contested field.

The Dutch Open Pairs plays a unique 701 format and the final saw Tony O’Shea and Darryl Fitton taking on the two teenagers from Belgium - the very impressive Dimitri van den Bergh and Kenny Neyens.

The youngsters had taken some big scalps en route to the final, and knew they would have to play their best to defeat Darryl and Tony.

It was the youngsters who made the first breakthrough, taking the first set 3 legs to 2 with Kenny Neyens taking out a cheeky 60 – D20 D10 to secure the set.

The second set was more one-sided in favour of the Englishmen, as they strolled through to tie the match up at 1-1.

It was all to play for in the third and final set, but it was Darryl and Tony who went up a gear to become The 2012 Dutch Open Men’s Pairs Champions.
