Rob Hawker continued his rich vein of form with another victory to take him to the Lakeside International play offs later in the year. Rob defeated Ian McFarlane in the final. Ian had defeated Steve Giddings in his semi final which really never got off the ground with both players missing doubles at crucial times. Giddings had previously beat Tommy Ryan 3-2 in a match which produced 6 180s and both players achieving 100+ in the their three dart average. Rob had defeated Antony Allen in his semi final with a 3-1 victory but it could have been over for him in the first round with Mark Sidgwick missing 6 darts at doubles to win. Rob will take his place amongst the International elite on October 9th in Hull. We hope that he is joined by our qualifiers from the Winmau World Masters.
