The inaugural Men's and Ladies SDA Tour continues this month with the second event in the series taking place at the Bannockburn Social Club on Sunday 3rd July, register at 10.00 am.
This second event in the series will be played on the Darts Connect system which will be available to follow remotely on the day. It’s some time since the SDA has moved events around the country in this way so it is an ideal chance for those who don’t favour travel to compete against the top players from around Scotland.
There will be a prize pot of £2000 for this event which could eventually lead to the Grand Finals on 22nd October when there will be a prize fund of £3000. This will involve the top 32 players after the four events which each cost £20 to enter and includes SDA Day Tour Membership.
Events three and four have been scheduled and will see darts move to Aberdeen on Saturday 27th August at the Dee Swimming Club, Gerrard Street and then finally to Inverness for the fourth event which is being held at SoBar, Castle Street.

At the end of the leg between Deta Hedman and Caroline Breen, the referee called game shot on double nine to England, subsequently it has been recognised that the darts was actually not in the double nine.
As Organisers we accept the referee made a genuine mistake and Deta didn’t check it.

We can confirm that on Deta’s insistence that the point has now been awarded to the Republic of Ireland and the match score adjusted.
The six nations are often referred to as the “Friendly Tournament” and we can confirm all six competing countries want to forget this and look forward to enjoying the rest of the tournament
