Projectdarts Sheffield Darts Masters
We got SDM nine underway and it was a big one for the big guns as several PDC players Darren Weaver,Darren Johnson,Matt Padgett,Dave Copley,Paul Redfern & Trevor Burkhill all trying to make the top 16 would try there best to give themselves a chance and players already in the top 16 would try and hold on to the spot they had worked hard for.......
Tom Briggs,Chris Keane,Nathan Richards and Jimmy Chojnowski was the unlucky players as they had to play in the pre-lim games....

ROB SMEATHERS 3-2 CHRIS KEANE
JOHN BOWLER 3-1 NATHAN RICHARDS
RYAN GOFFIN 3-1 TOM BRIGGS

Semi-Finals
CHRIS GILL 3-1 MATT PADGETT
in the first of the semis Matt Padgett went into the lead 1-0 with a nice little finish only for Chris to hit back with the next leg firing in a maximum also and then stretch his lead 2-1 ,Matt then kicked off with good scores in the next but a 13 dart leg would be enough to send Gill into the final.
DARREN JOHNSON 3-2 DARREN WEAVER
a lot of history between these two but level at 1-1 it was the man from Mexbrough that got the decisive dart to take the lead only for the Armthorpe player to level again but a good finish in the last leg sent Darren Johnson into the final to meet his long time friend.
Final
DARREN JOHNSON 3-2 CHRIS GILL
What a final with Dynamite taking the lead with 17 dart leg and Chris to level with the same darts.and both players again held throw in legs three and four and in the last Darren with the arrows away kicked off with a 60 and Mont would reply in his 2nd throw with a maximum and pull away but two hundred plus scores from Dynamite pulled into a finish and with Chris having first stab at the finish after some high scoring he was to miss and Daz who took out the double with his first dart and both men averaging over the 90 mark.
Again SDM tournament proving how hard they are to win as Darren Johnson becomes the 9th name to win one and making it 9 different winners from 9 tournaments,no player lifting it twice as to date but well played to all and well played to Dynamite and a deserved victory which was rounded up after winning the pairs comp with the finalist Chris Gill.
The 1st round losers comp was won by Paul Redfern for the 2nd time beating Rich Beck.
