A 16 member contingent of the Grand Bahama Darts Association was in New Providence last weekend where they competed in the 1987 Becks Doubles Darts Championships at the Poinciana Sporting Arena on Saturday, February 7, 1987. At the end of the tournament the group was able to bring back a total of 19 trophies, winning two events, coming in second in one, making it to the finals five times and had two quarter-final finishes.
Winning trophies over the weekend were the team of Cornelius "Cornbread" Martinborough and Dawn Sweeting, who defeated New Providence's Mike and Sue Russell 3-2 to win the mixed doubles. Sweeting enjoyed a good weekend as she also teamed with Cindy Albury to win the women's double. Albury was name the most outstanding player as she hit double tops to give them the title 2-0.
In the ladies doubles on Friday night the team of Annie Pelecanos and Mia Yates had a semifinal finish. Halina Wilson teamed up with Raynell Minus of New Providence and made it to New Providence and made it to the semi-finals.
In the men's' doubles also on Friday night Martinborough and Byron Johnson as well as Osborne Cooper and Woody Sweeting had quarter final finishes.
This event was almost won by Grand Bahamians' Arthur Nesbitt and Edison Butler, who lost to Kenrick Braithwaite and Mike Russell of New Providence 3-2. In the best of five finals Nesbitt and Butler stormed out to a 2-0 lead and needing one bull for the match fell one dart short finishing in second. In mixed doubles on Saturday afternoon the team of Nesbitt and Colleen Cooper also made it through to the semi finals.
Martinborough and Calvin Miler made a great showing advancing to the semi finals.
However the event was won by Russell and Jonathon Williams of New Providence.
Pelecanos and Yates had their second semi final finish in the ladies double with 501.
