Red Dragon Welsh Open titels voor Glen Durrant en Lisa Ashton
Het was dit weekeinde druk op de internationale dartsvloer want ook naar Noord Wales was een groot aantal nationale en internationale spelers afgereisd voor deelname aan het Red Dragon Welsh Open. Onder de deelnemers ook een aantal Nederlandse toppers zoals Michel van der Horst, Willem Mandigers, Richard Veenstra, Jeffrey de Graaf, Wesley Harms en Danielle Ijpelaar. Danielle wist in het sterk bezette damesveld de laatste 16 te bereiken. Daar strandde ze op de latere winnares van het damestoernooi, Lisa Ashton. Jeffrey de Graaf werd de beste Nederlander van het toernooi. Hij kwam tot en met de kwartfinale waarin hij verloor van darts routinier Martin Adams.
Maar Adams bereikte de finale niet want in de halve finale werd hij geklopt door Scott Waites die dus goed hersteld lijkt van schouder operatie. Tegenstander van Waites in de finale werd Glen Durrant die de Ier David Concannon met 5-1 klopte in de halve finale.
Scott Waites kwam moeizaam opgang in de eerste leg maar een met twee goede beurten wist hij toch het eerste punt te pakken in de finale maar had daarna geen antwoord meer op het zeer sterk spel van Durrant die 6 legs op rij won voor de titel. Gemiddelde van Glen Durrant 35,58 per pijl tegen 31.78 voor Waites.
Lorraine Winstanley verloor met een gemiddelde van 23.49 de finale van de regerende Lakeside World Professional Darts Champion, Lisa Ashton. Het werd een nipte overwinning (5-4) met een gemiddelde van 25.28 per pijl.
Hieronder de uitslagen van de laatste 64 heren en laatste 64 dames.
