IN the Bolton Darts League in aid of the Bolton Senior Gateway Club for Mentally Handicapped Adults, Wayne Clark has confirmed his reputation as being a class player by winning a top solo award.

He expertly captured the Men's Individuals Competition despite not being among the favourites, proving he could match the top players with some outstanding throwing and deadly finishing.

In the last 16 he beat Michael Cosgove and knocked Dave Smith (last season's champion) out at the quarter final stage. In the semi final he beat Paul Baistow, and went on to record a 3-0 win against Gary Parr in the final. Finishing the final leg in 14 dates -- 121, 125, 140, 74, 40 (two darts).

Gary, the eventual runner up, beat Dave Heyes in the quarter final and Tommy Jessop in the semis. Other matches were Paul Baistow beat Brian Daniels, Tommy Jessop beat Mick Meanley, Brian Daniels beat Dave Roe, and Paul Baistow beat Roy Neild.
