Anil Lachman dethrones champion Sudesh Fitzgerald to clinch national title
Guyana Darts Association Mashramani Darts Classic
Anil Lachman employed some precision throws to register 3 games and dethroned national champion Sudesh Fitzgerald, who won just 1 game, to take the three best in five affair, when the two tangled in the Men’s Singles 501 championships in the Guyana Darts Association (GDA) Mashramani Darts Classic tournament at the Clerico Club (CCWU), Quamina Street Georgetown, Sunday afternoon last.
President of the GDA, Grantley Culbard, (right) hands over the winning prize to newly crowned men’s champion Anil Lachman.
The new champion drew first blood, winning the first two games before Fitzgerald rebounded with a win in the third. Lachman then won the third game to take an unassailable lead and duly lifted the prestigious accolade.
Lachman also enjoyed the honour of being the first to have his name inscribed on the Len’s lien trophy while carting off the $40,000 first prize. Fitzgerald received some consolation with the $20,000 second prize while losing semi-finalists Ricardo Madhoo and Anthony Bissoondyal each received $10,000. This event was sponsored by John Fernandes Limited.
Rosetta Hiralall continued the trend when she registered another upset over Hemwattie Amyan to strip her of the Women’s Singles 501 title and the $20,000 first prize that went with it. The two players engaged in a best in 3 rivalry and Hiralall prevailed 2-1
The former champion can be excused since her game might have been affected following the recent passing of her ex-husband and former national player, Ronald Amyan, who was laid to rest in Suriname recently; she had attended the funeral.
This event was co-sponsored by Dr. Terrence Joseph and Roy & Sonia Fashions of Stabroek Market. Amyan received $10,000 while the losing semi-finalists Shondell Hyles and Shabana Ali each received $5,000.
The Open Doubles 501 event, sponsored by the Guyana Oil Company Limited, was won by Anil Lachman and Lalchand Rambharose who got the better of Sudesh Fitzgerald and Rosetta Hiralall, 2 games to nil.

The winners received $30,000 while the losers got $20,000. In the play-off for 3rd and 4th places, Sherwin Greene & Anthony Bissoondyal prevailed over Colin France & Shondell Hinds, 2 games to nil. The pairs received $12,000 and $8,000 respectively.
There were also three incentive prizes awarded for special performances. Colin France registered the only maximum 180 throw in the various events and copped $5,000 for his effort.
The highest check-out to finish a game was done by Sudesh Fitzgerald (170) and he too received $5,000 for that feat. The shortest/fastest game (16 darts), for $5,000, went to Sudesh Fitzgerald and Rosetta Hiralall. Special mention was also made of Shondell Hyles who registered the highest throw (160) for women.
