Darts Association caps year with awards ceremony

The Cayman Islands Darts Association capped its year with a celebration of its champions at a brief ceremony Sunday night (29 October) to present them with their hardware.

Among the big winners was Rosyl De Guzman, who picked up five trophies including Female MVP of the league and Ladies Singles Champion at the National Championships held at the end of September. She was also selected to her first national team. Fabio Carletti was Male MVP of the league, while Earl Smith was Men’s Singles Champion at the nationals. (see full list below) On hand to present the awards was Sports Councillor David Wight.

Female MVP and Ladies Singles Champion Rosyl De Guzman had an impressive haul.

President Cassius Anglin described 2017 as a phenomenal year for darts in the Cayman Islands. “We had a lot of new players enter the league, including a full rookie team, and a team would include six to eight players, which was a big improvement from the previous year. Overall, it was a good year. We saw some good darts,” he said.

Anglin added that another plus was to have three newcomers named to the national team to participate in the Caribbean championships in Trinidad and Tobago next year.

Meantime, he said he has high hopes that the team can show its strength against top competition from other countries at the championships. “I have all the confidence in this national team. I know with some good training, I expect us to do well,” he said.

Cayman’s best placing was fourth 10 years ago, and Anglin said: “I’m looking for us to better that next year.”
