Youth prized

Cash payouts were awarded to the young players who advanced furthest in singles. $100 each went to Clover Arndt and Saul Arndt, pictured right.

Saul, the youngest player at the shoot, teamed up with the senior player Cliff Culbert to take part in the cricket doubles, a pairing with an age difference of over 60 years!

A donation was made to the SDA's Youth darts program by SDA stars John Brann and Jeff Berner, who raised $115 in a Ladbrokes World Darts pool fundraiser.

Youth of today

Twenty of our young darters made the trip to Saskatoon for the 2012 Youth Classic: too many to name in the picture above, but hey, you know who you are!

Organizer Trish Gray (bottom, middle, behind junior) says there were all levels of players involved, from several years' experience to a player that started three weeks ago.

"It was a successful day, and another big step in our youth development program," says Trish.

Winners include: Senior Boy James Walter (Hudson Bay), Senior Girl Miranda Cleaveley (Hudson Bay), Junior Boy Austin Morrison (Rosetown), and Junior Girl Clover Arndt (Regina). Full results here.

A big thank-you goes out to all the volunteers including Doug, Karsten and the others who helped tear down the boards after the shoot.

The Classic is a good warm-up for Youth Provincials coming up February 25-26 at Swift Current. Any and all youth players can take part in provincials: contact Trish Gray for details. Contact page. See a poster for Provincials

Heminger a hit

The 7th Annual Al Heminger Memorial Tournament in Saskatoon attracted players from all corners of SK on January 7 and has now had the highest attendance at any of our provincially-only-ranked tournaments for five years running.

Winner from a field of 55 men was reigning provincial champion John Brann of Regina, who defeated Curt Gamble of Moose Jaw to take first. Ladies' winner was Bonnie Lapierre, also Regina, our reigning provincial women's champ. Bonnie played Laurie Kitzul of Saskatoon in the final.

Men's doubles went to Brian Humphreys of Flin Flon and partner Jeff Berner of Regina. Top ladies' team was Dorothy Zimmer of Regina and Joan Hodgen of Midale. Congratulations to all of them.

Sportmanship awards were voted on by players. This year's recipients are Stacey Murk and Don Moleski.

See the full results. We have updated the rankings.

Zone playoffs set to start

The run-up to the Provincial Championships starts here: it's zone season once again.

SDA zones will be holding playoffs in the coming weeks. Dates will be posted here as they are announced.

Saskatoon playoffs are at the Anavets Club on Sunday February 5, starting at 9 a.m.

Regina has its playoffs at the Elks Club on February 9. Registration is at 6.30 p.m.  


Andrew Greenbank, aged 20, of Nipawin, died suddenly on January 6, 2012. Andrew was a youth dart player from 2002-2009. He played in his first youth provincials in 2004 and was part of Team Saskatchewan as an alternate on three occasions. In 2006 and 2007 he was Junior Boys runner up and in 2009 he was the Senior Boys alternate.

Andrew’s quiet demeanour and gentle nature made him a true sportsman. He had a very graceful and natural throw. Andrew was a great asset to the Nipawin Dart Club. He and his brothers helped countless times to set up for the youth and adult tournaments that the club hosted.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his parents, John and Michelle, who were always there to support their children and the dart club. Our condolences to Andrew’s brother, Tim Greenbank and Troy, Scott and Nicole Allardice, Andrew’s step brothers and sister, all of whom were youth players. S. Grassing

Icicle asks for pre-registration

The North Battleford Dart Club is asking interested players to pre-register for the singles events at the Icicle tournament March 3rd. They need to plan ahead for boards and space because of anticipated high turnout.

Saskatoon players wishing to pre-register: please contact Wayne Hudson. Players from elsewhere should make arrangements with Jason Skinner of North Battleford zone. See a poster with all the details.

Christmas spirit on show at charity shoots

A seasonal charity darts tournament collected toys for needy Saskatoon kids. Organizer Laurie Kitzul reports:

"Saturday, Dec. 3rd marked the 21st Annual Mixed Doubles Charity Toy Shoot in Saskatoon. We had 31 teams this year and well over 80 toys as some supporters brought toys even if they couldn’t play the tournament. The toys and money raised go to the Salvation Army in conjunction with CJWW’s Secret Santa.

"Our 2011 Champions are Trish and Hunch Gray from Rosetown (pictured right). Thank you to the set-up crew: Garry Schmidt, Gary (Gub) Braun, Jerry Bereza, Ron & Wendy Strohan and Doug Spearey; to Brenda McKechnie and all the people who stayed for tear down after the shoot. Thanks to our sponsors for the great prizes. Attached is a list of those sponsors - please take a minute to have a look." - Laurie Kitzul

Regina's Santas Anonymous gathered a sackful of gifts for local children. Pat Copeman has the details:

"The Regina Zone had its Santas Anonymous shoot December 13. Thirty-two players came to play darts. Approximately fifty toys were donated for the Santas Anonymous program. First place winners were Sherry Hingtgen and Shawn Solomon. I would like to thank all those who came out to donate the toys and to those people who donated door prizes.

"A great night was had by all." - Pat Copeman

That's it for SDA darts news for 2011. We'll be back with more stories from around the province and some new features in the New Year. Merry Christmas to all our readers from saskdarts.com!

Skinner cleans up at Bay


Jason Skinner of Battleford notches up three more firsts with a victory in men's singles over Brian Humphreys as well as doubles and mixed triples wins at the North East Classic in Hudson Bay. Jason's partners were Rod Swenson (twice, pictured far left with Jason) and Aspen Cleaveley.

Local player Aspen teamed up with her gold-medal winning partner from 2007 Junior girls Nationals, Letitia Grenier, to win the women's doubles event. Aspen and Tish are pictured right.

Women's singles goes to Judy Cleaveley, who defeated Lowine Binkley, both of Hudson Bay. See the full results here. Rankings are up to date.

Nipawin to host 2012 Provincials

It's official! This season's Provincial Championships will be held at the Evergreen Centre, Nipawin, on April 13, 14 and 15, 2012.

Players from all 10 zones will compete for the men's and women's championships and a spot on the team of 16 representing Saskatchewan at the Nationals in June in Northern Ontario.

Nipawin zone rep Shauna Grassing says the host hotel is offering darts players a good deal for the event. "The Northern Greens Resort has blocked 20 rooms for April 13-15, double or single rooms for $94.00 a night. They will hold them until March 13th. They are booked under Prov. Darts. If anyone is interested and needs them for Thursday and Sunday night there is no problem in extending these dates."

Maximum Exposure 2008

Final standings in our round-up of all maximums scored by our members at SDA tournaments in the calendar year 2011. Jason and Bonnie will be awarded with their prizes in January. Well done to all maximum scorers: this year saw the most 180s scored since we started ME and 6 is the women's record. Nice job Bonnie!  Curt Gamble's record of 52 (2010) will probably stand for a long time.
