🎯 Garw Valley Darts – Finals Night 🎯

What a night to wrap up the penultimate tournament of the winter season!

Adam “Chin” Hawkins successfully defended his singles title, edging out Ethan Garfield in a thrilling 3–2 final. Ethan went 1–0 down, fought back brilliantly to take the next two legs, but Chin held his nerve to win the last two and seal the victory.

There were some top moments in the final – Ethan firing in a 180 and Chin producing a classy 120 checkout 👏

With 49 players entering, the standard was high all night and the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing.

🏆 Team News
