Legends Bar Suffolk Super Series 2023

Quality was the order of the day with some awesome group games including a mammoth 1st game of the day between Henry Cutting and Ash Coleman with no legs going past 15 darts setting the standard for the rest of the day, with all the top 8 seeds making it out of the groups with the exception of (6) Wayne Bugby failing to qualify from arguably the toughest group we've seen all year. The stand out tie of the last 16 would see rankings leader Kevin Edwards playing Gary Butcher, Kevin showing all experience to move onto the quarter finals where he would be joined by the top 5 seeds, tough draws for Frankie Ansell(7) and Richard Andeerson(8) meant we lost 2 more seeds before the quarters.  

Good wins for Kyle Bloomfield over Ian Plumb and Jamie Robinson over Brandon Western meant an all Stowmarket Superleague semi final, in the other half number 2 seed Jason Elvin finished clinically to see off the threat of Kevin Harris whilst Kevin Edwards kept his nerve to beat Henry Cutting(3) in a nail biting deciding leg.

In the first semi Kyle flew out of the blocks taking an early 2-0 lead only for Jamie to find another gear taking 5 legs on the trot to see off his team mate, the 2nd semi final will go down as a Super Series classic, a rematch of the Kesgrave final the top 2 seeds battled it out for a place in the final, Kevin lead from the start taking an early 3-1 lead only for Jason to come storming back to level the match at 4 all, Jasons power scoring in a deciding leg was the difference and you could see just what it meant to reach the final

Onto the final and it didn't disappoint, Jamie Robinson showing all his big stage experience to take the early lead 3-1 only for Jason Elvin to kick in and fight back to 3all the next few legs where shared with Jason taking a narrow lead at 5-4, Jason started the 10th leg with some heavy scoring and when Jamie just missed a dart for a big finish Jason stepped in to seal the win and take the title of Suffolk Super Series Champion 2023

Kevin Edwards once again took maximum points at the Suffolk Super Series event 2, but he certainly didn't have it all his own way, Kevin was pushed hard in the knockout stages with players taking him to a deciding leg in the last 32 and last 16, Kevins experience getting him through a tough draw, In a high scoring final against Jamie Robinson going 2-1 up before Kev kicked on for the win. Great run for Jamie on his Super Series debut, another debutant Mick Connolly made the most of a late spot for entry reaching the semi final, the semi finals made up by the ultra consistent Ritchie Anderson making his second semi final in 2 events, with some big names missing in event 2 there where some major movers in the points table.
