Sudesh Fitzgerald carts off lion’s share as National Darts Championships end
National men and women singles darts champions, Sudesh Fitzgerald and Hemwattie Amyan, retained their respective titles when the curtains came down on the National Darts Championships at the Clerico Commercial Workers Union Club (CCWU), Quamina Street, Georgetown Sunday evening last.

Fitzgerald further distinguished himself after clinching several awards including the Most 180s thrown, the Fastest Game (17 darts), Player of the Tournament, and Player of the Year. Sherwyn Greene copped the trophy for the Highest Checkout (148 points) in the tournament.
Notwithstanding, Fitzgerald survived a grueling contest against first time national competitor, Christopher Fulton, en route to the acquisition of the prestigious accolade. He surrendered the 3rd game in the set of five and the championship was only decided in the final set when Fulton was first on a double but missed; the defending champion capitalized and made no mistake on a similar shot. For his efforts, Fitzgerald also carted off the John Fernandes Ltd trophy. In the playoff for 3rd place, Sherwyn Greene got the better of Lalchand Rambharose, 2-1 in the best of three games set.
The women’s final also saw another newcomer, Shondell Hyles, matching the defending champion Amyan dart for dart. Amyan utilized her vast experience and capitalized in the second game after Hyles was first on a double but missed which forced the match into a third game where Amyan prevailed, 2 nil. She also won the Dr. Terrence Joseph Trophy. In the 3rd place playoff, Christina Fulton won 2-1 from Jean De Souza.
