SCOTTISH international darts player Alan Soutar added the Bellrock Open title to his growing list of wins on Saturday at The Red Lion Holiday Park, Arbroath.

Beaten quarter-finalists were Ross Montgomery (East Kilbride), Ross McDougall (Perth); Clive Jones and Jim Smith (both Arbroath). Losing at the semi-final stage were Gary Hagan (Fraserburgh) and Kevin Whyte (Forfar)
The final was a close game between Alan Soutar (Arbroath) and Paul Fairnington (Dundee). The match went with throw for the first six legs and with the score tied at 3-3 having the throw, paid off for Alan as he closed out the game in 15 darts to win the competition. The four legs that Alan won were completed in 15, 16, 16 and 17 darts.
The ladies’ event was won by Christine Hyde (Inverurie) who beat Kate Smith (Forfar) 3-2 in another close final.
