Dyson Parody Wins Carmelo Ellul Trophy
The Gibraltar Darts Association recently held the third of seven ranking tournaments of the darts season, the Carmelo Ellul Trophy.
A statement from the Gibraltar Darts Association follows below:
This tournament was named in honour of the Late Carmelo Ellul who along with Dave Obee formed the GDA back in 1958, and served on the Committee for many years.
35 players registered to attempt to gain Ranking points and gain the opportunity to represent Gibraltar in International Competitions.
Early rounds of this seeded tournament are played as best of 7 legs and played over 8 boards, with 8 seeded players.
All of the seeded players reached the Quarter finals, except Nº4 seed Roy Asquez who narrowly lost to Carlos Muñoz 4-3 and Nº7 seed Justin Hewitt who was knocked out by Daryl Vassallo 4-1. Seed Nº5 Christian Tosso had an early scare in his board final when facing Manolo Vilerio Sr, but he was able to come out on top 4-3
Following some high scoring matches the quarter final line up was as follows;
Dyson Parody 4 – 2 Sean Negrette
Carlos Muñoz 4 – 2 Christian Tosso
David Francis 2 – 4 Craig Galliano
Antony Lopez 4 –1 Daryl Vassallo
SEMI-FINALS
Carlos Muñoz seemed to run out of stream against a strongly scoring Dyson Parody who got his spot in the final with a 4-0 win.
Antony Lopez had a much tougher contest against Craig Galliano but was able to keep him at bay with a 5-4 win.
FINAL
Dyson Parody V Antony Lopez
Dyson won the Bull throw and both players started with good scoring. Dyson hit D20 with his 1st dart, leaving Antony trailing on 135.
Dyson also claimed the 2nd leg in which both players hit a maximum 180. Antony had several misses at double which allowed Dyson to clinch it with a D10.
The 3rd leg went all Antony’s way, checking out D10 leaving Dyson with 61 on the scoreboard. 2-1
Dyson then pulled ahead getting himself a 5-1 lead with some clinical finishing. A maximum 180 from Antony in the 4th leg and some strong scoring by him wasn’t enough.
In the 7th leg Antony showed he still had some fight in him by checking out on D20, hitting 2×100 scores along the way.
Dyson followed up with another 180 maximum in the next leg, followed by a 140, and finished on D20, leaving Antony some way behind on 191.
A good final by two great players.
