It was with great sadness that the Welsh Darts Organisation received the news of the sudden death of their former International player Ray Guthrie.
 
Ray aged 67 from Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant near Oswestry was a great character in the sports of darts, he played most of his County darts for his beloved Montgomery & Radnor, after starting his County playing days with Clwyd and Shropshire.
 
The Organisation sends its deepest Sympathy to all his family.
 
RIP Ray.

The Perth thrower defeated Ben Smith of Gwynedd 6 – 2 in the final to claim the £1,200.00 top prize, after he survived a semi-final scare when he had to fight back from 3 – 0 down for his 5 – 4 victory over last year’s Champion Eirig Rowlands (Gwynedd).

It was a perfect start for ‘The Quiff’, recording just shy of a ton average as he bounded into a two set
lead early on. Warren remained in contention going into the interval as he smashed out a superb set
of his own to set the seed of doubt in Williams’ mind.


The 58-year-old Welshman would make it 2-2 as the momentum continued to shift in his direction.
That advantage would be increased as Warren got his nose ahead for the first time as he went 3-2 to
the good.


Williams would return the favour with a whitewash set of his own, meaning the two would go into
the half time interval at 3-3. Warren would return from the break reinvigorated, finding the heavy
scoring game that had got him to this stage.


‘The Quiff’ would steal one more set before Warren unleashed his best darts. Williams has been a
front-runner throughout the tournament and for much of his career, but the chase was a hard graft
and Warren appeared to have too much in the latter stages.


Warren began to pull away after the nine-set mark, firing in 11 and 12 darts legs in front of the
packed Indigo at the o2. As they entered the final set, Warren took a two-leg advantage, a slack leg
then let Williams in with a chance.


But that would be the end of the story for Williams as Warren nailed tops to claim his first BDO
World Championship title at 57 years of age, a truly magnificent achievement.

After further victories over Andy Hamilton in the last 16 and Chris Landman of the Netherlands in the quarter finals, Wayne came up against the 2015 World Champion Scott Mitchell in the semi finals. After a bit of a slow start going two sets down Wayne pulled back to 2 sets all before taking the next set for 3-2 lead. Scott took the 6th set to tie the match up at 3 sets all but from here Wayne's continued high scoring and accuracy on the doubles saw him take the next 3 sets and win the match 6-3 to make his first World Professional Final

The afternoon session opened with a marathon contest, Wayne Warren and Justin Thompson taking us all the way into a deciding set. Welshman Warren was a quarter-finalist in 2018 and will be looking to replicate that run after a disjointed year on the tour. After an up and down match, ‘The Yank’ sealed glory with a spectacular 120 checkout.
