On the back of winning on his JDC Advanced Tour debut, Ryan Branley returned to the North=East a
feared man as he took on the Blutcher Open. Branley has been making a name for himself in his local
area over the last year or so, and captured a win over PDC tour card holder Ryan Joyce in his
quarter-final clash. He would go on to defeat Andy Parks and then Davey Gradwell to claim the
trophy.
Adam Dee capitalised on a journey to Vienna by winning the WDF singles and under 23 pairs event in
Austria. The maximums were flowing for the young Irishman who hit 180’s in every game he played!
His standout performance came in a whitewash quarter-final win with an 86 average as Dee would
later win the final 4-1.
Following an ADC Vault win days earlier, Dee would also capture the singles title in convincing
fashion. After recording several back-to-back whitewash wins he would squeeze past Bance Horvath
in a decider. He would be back to his dominant performances in the final, a 5-0 win over Peter
Keleman.
Cori Wiltshire and Fabian Tapner were in action on the JDC Foundation Tour as the roadshow came
to Scotland for the first time. Bristol based Wiltshire would reach two last 32’s on the opening day to
get his Foundation tour underway. Tapner had to be patient through the weekend, waiting until the
final event of the weekend to record his best result, a last 16 after defeating fellow Team360 star
Wiltshire.
There was local action for Cayden Smith and Jack Nankervis who both hit high averages, Smith
hitting an 89 before losing out in the next game with an 82 average. Nankervis raised the standard in
his local comp by averaging an incredible 92, the youngster will be one to watch in the coming
months.
