There was a packed house at the Hemsby Village Hall for the Flegg Darts Finals.
In the first match Alkan Mehmed took on Paul Woolston in the Veterans’ Singles Final.
Alkan should have won 2-0, but failed to hit the double in the second leg, allowing Paul to hit back. In the third and decisive leg it was eventually Alkan that finished the job.
The next match was the Youth Singles Final and it was the 2016 winner Kane Read versus Luke Carpenter. Although both players know they can play a lot better it was Luke that won it 2-0.
Then followed the Mixed triples final as Kerry Jobson, Andy Mason and Rob Mooney took on Amanda Dyball, Neil Horn and Martin Seaman. Although there was a 180 from Andy, it was the Amanda, Neil and Martin team that were more consistent throughout the match to clinch a 2-0 win.
