Smiddy pair Campbell and Oag are Ray Sinclair Memorial Cup winners

Ryan Campbell and Jordan Oag emerged as winners in this week's Ray Sinclair Memorial Cup competition held by Wick and District Darts League.

It was an eventful night with thrills, spills and a few laughs.

Ryan and Jordan, who play for Smiddy “2”, defeated another Smiddy Inn pair, Ian Coghill and David Miller, in the final. It followed on from Ryan's victory in the second division competition at the 2022 Christmas Cracker event.

The ladies' open pairs were won by Freda Perry and Kara Sutherland, defeating sisters Jeanette Longstaffe and Jade Jones without reply in the final.
