The Defence Club, sponsored by Cardos, will host a much-anticipated Ladies 501 Singles competition at the Fiji Club tomorrow.
Edward Roxburgh, president of the Suva Darts Association, expressed excitement about the event, which signifies the return of Ladies tournaments after a hiatus of over five years, attracting 16 participants of various skill levels.
The competition will be structured into four pools, each consisting of four players. Roxburgh noted that top-seeded players, Mereoni Naikanitoba and Mable Maino from Papua New Guinea, will lead the competition.
The tournament winner will receive a cash prize of $400 and a trophy, while additional prizes will be awarded to the runner-up, semi-finalists, and pool winners. There is also keen interest in identifying the most promising new player among the contestants.
“This tournament not only serves as a competitive platform but is also instrumental in the selection process for Team Fiji,” Roxburgh added, explaining that the selected team will represent Fiji at the upcoming fourth South Pacific Darts Championships in January 2025, hosted by the Fiji Darts Association.
Additionally, the Fintel Open Teams League will further enhance the darting excitement, taking place every Monday and Thursday evenings at the Fiji Club.
With playoffs approaching in the coming weeks, the darts scene in Fiji is set to become increasingly lively and competitive.
