Darters off to B.C.
Two Brussels Legion members
will fly to British Columbia Friday
to take part in their first national
Legion dart championship.
Eric Ross and Bob Richardson
won the Ontario Provincial champi
onship April 27 in competition at
the Winston Churchill Branch in
Toronto against 36 teams from nine
districts in Ontario. They were
undefeated in six rounds of best-
ttvo-of-three play never needing to
go to the third game until the cham
pionship game against a team of
Ajax.
That won them the chance to
play against teams from nine other
provinces and the territories this
weekend in Vernon, B.C. They'll
arrive Friday and stay until Tues
day, playing their particular part of
the competition on Saturday.
They're looking forward to a trip to
the beautiful Okanagan Valley
community in the spring. Some
people have told them once they
see the valley they'll never want to
come home, Bob says.
It's the farthest either of the men
has gone in Legion competition
although they have done well in
numerous tournaments over the
years. Both started playing in 1977.
Bob moved to Drayton from Brus
sels in 1985 but still remains a
member of the Brussels branch and
returns for branch activities.
Shooting for the win
Rob Richardson and Eric Ross have been practicing their darts in preparation to take part in
this weekend's national Legion dart championships. The two won the provincial title in April
and will journey to Vernon, B.C. this weekend tor the national tournament.
