Leonard Gates suffers shock first round exit at the hands of Colin McGarry before Chris Mason battles past Darryl Fitton at World Seniors Darts Championship
WSDTFriday, 16 February 2024 at 22:07
The dominant force in Seniors Darts since his arrival, Leonard Gates was expected to have a deep run this weekend at the Circus Tavern. That's not transpired however as Colin McGarry has stunned the three-time WSDT major winner in the opening round.
In a slow start to the match for both, McGarry took the first set in legs of 19, 23 and 21 after Gates had taken the opening leg. The American stepped up his game in set 2 however and thanks in part to a 15 darter and a 13 darter, Gates levelled the match. All credit to McGarry from there on though. The Northern Irishman very smartly took set 3 in a deciding leg before romping to victory with a comfortable fourth set.
In the second tie of the night, Chris Mason battled back from a set down to Darryl Fitton to take a 3-1 victory, averaging over 85 in the process and reeling off nine of the last ten legs.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
