The Defence Club, sponsored by Cardos, will host a highly anticipated Ladies 501 Singles competition at the Fiji Club tomorrow. According to Suva Darts Association president Edward Roxburgh, this event marks the return of Ladies tournaments after a break of over five years, with 16 participants showcasing a range of experience levels.
The competition will be set up in four pools, each containing four players. Roxburgh highlighted that the top seeds include well-known players Mereoni Naikanitoba and Mable Maino from Papua New Guinea.
The tournament winner will receive $400 along with a trophy, and there will be additional prizes awarded to the runner-up, semi-finalists, and the winners of each pool. Among the participants, there is growing excitement about discovering the most promising new player.
Roxburgh noted that this tournament serves not only as a competitive platform but also plays an essential role in the selection process for Team Fiji. The selected team will represent Fiji at the upcoming fourth South Pacific Darts Championships, scheduled for January 2025 and hosted by the Fiji Darts Association.
In addition, the Fintel Open Teams League will complement the darting excitement, taking place every Monday and Thursday evening at the Fiji Club. As playoffs approach in the coming weeks, the darts scene in Fiji is poised to be both thrilling and engaging.
