Jamie Hughes has won the BDO British Classic after defeating Jim Williams in a nailbiting final which went to a deciding leg. The Tipton native has not won a BDO event since the Isle of Man Classic in March so it is a welcome return to the winners circle for the player ranked 4th in the BDO rankings.
Glen Durrant, Wayne Warren, Jeff Smith, Jim Williams,Kyle Mckinstry were some of the names through to the Last 16 as well as a player who missed out for the first time on getting to the PDC Euro Tour, Krzysztof Ratajski who lost out to eventual finalist Jim Williams but it was Hughes who prevailed in the final.
On the Womens' side it was Aileen de Graaf who prevailed. Ranked 3rd in the BDO rankings, de Graaf added to her World Trophy, Polish and Belgium Open triumphs defeating World Championship runner up Corinne Hammond 5-4. de Graaf defeated 6 time event winner this year in Lorraine Winstanley 4-2 in her semi-final to reach that stage and Hammond whitewashed Deta Hedman 4-0 but de Graaf like on the men's side won in a decider.
Attention turns tomorrow to the BDO British Open before the World Masters next week all at the Spa in Bridlington.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - 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
