The race for the Ally Pally may have concluded for the DPA satellite series with Ray Smith taking out the final but the race is back on across the oceanic region as the Oceanic Masters is being held at the home of DPA darts on the east coast of Australia – The Warilla Bowls and Recreation Club on the weekend of October 21 – 23.
The weekend will kick off with the DPA Kyle Anderson Memorial Trophy being played at a venue for the first time. Last year Scot Darren Armstrong, playing in London, defeated Ash Britt in the final to become the first winner.
The event was held with the cooperation of Darts Stream Live who then aided in the running of the Oceanic Masters of 2021 where Ky Smith won to join his father on stage at the World Championships. However, 2022 moves back from the screen to in-venue and with the borders opened up and NZ crowning the DPNZ number one to go to the World Champs the weekend before there should be plenty of Aussies and Kiwis making their way to Warilla.
The Oceanic Masters has that world championship position as a carrot but even to join the winners list would be an honour. Names likes Simon Whitlock, both Beau and Kyle Anderson, Mitchell Clegg, Bernie Smith, Warren Parry, Robbie King, David Platt, James Bailey, John Weber, David Platt, Koha Kokiri, Geoff Kime, Russell Stewart, and Barry Jouannet Jnr have joined Ky Smith on that winners list (it was not run in 2020) since 2002.
This year with so many players back in the swing of things, and playing regularly across Australia, the competition in venue should be a treat for people to come and watch. The Saturday will see doubles return to DPA with the DPA Australasian Pairs Championship being held at Warilla Bowls and Recreation Club
