Dean Winstanley sets up Go Fund Me page to raise more prize money for youth finalists at World Masters
BDOFriday, 25 October 2019 at 12:53
The youth players at the BDO World Masters had to pay £10 to enter the boys and girls events, but now it appears that the finalists have not been rewarded with a huge prize money cheque.
Keane Barry and Katie Sheldon claimed the youth titles on Friday at the BDO World Masters. For this, they were presented with a trophy, just like players who lost in the semi-finals and quarter-finals.
Former Lakeside finalist Dean Winstanley decided to help the youth players and started a Go Fund Me page to raise money for the finalists. Winstanley, who also reached the World Masters final in 2011, hopes to raise at least £1000 to give the champions and runners up something they can use to help better their career opportunities

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
