2022 turned out to be our biggest ever, the Grand Prix moved to our fantastic new home at Cedars Park Aviary, the venue is bigger and better in every way, good job as we had record numbers turning out every week, with 99 different players attending over the 10 weeks,.

Henry Cutting topped the points table with 4 wins over the 10 weeks and a total of 55 points, he was followed in 2nd place by 2019 champion and Mr consistency Kevin Edwards, the top 16 was made up of some serious talent including many former tour card holders, county superstars and some up and coming youngsters in the mix, unfortunately table topping favourite Henry sustained an injury in the week leading up to finals which meant he had to play wearing a protective boot, this didn't stop him making the semi finals though losing out to the ever consistent Tony Lincoln, Tony would meet Kevin Edwards in the final, after surviving a scare in the quarter finals when Jason Elvin had match darts to beat the reigning champ, Kevin then went on to beat in form Gary Butcher in the semi final, the final was a high scoring affair with Kevin showing real quality to retain his title with a 6-0 win and a 31.98 average to become the first player to defend the Stowmarket Grand Prix title. Massive thanks must go to Janine, Pete and the team at Cedars Park Aviary for making us so welcome and we look forward to a long partnership, also thanks to this years main sponsor K Levell and Sons and our board sponsors Target Darts without this support the event just wouldn't be possible.
