Top of Ghent took place on October 18th, 19th and 20th.The whole weekend went by in a kind of daze for me due to the loss of my good friend, Marc Hendrix...
On Friday night there was a warming-up tournament counting for the Belgian ranking.
Shirley Gaillaert vs Kathy Geeraerts 0-3
Peggy Van Ballaert vs Kathy Geeraerts 3-1
On Saturday the singles were played.
Danielle Geerdink vs Kathy Geeraerts 2-3
I was 2-0 up but due to lack of concentration it became 2-2. Lucky to have won 3-2.
Anastasia Dobromyslova vs Kathy Geeraerts 3-1
Could've easily won 3-0, but missed my doubles. Was on a double first every leg.
Anastasia won the tournament by beating Aileen De Graaf in the final.
Men's single was won by Ross Montgomery who beat Rick Hofstra in the final.
Sunday started with the mixed pairs. I paired with Kenny Neyens.
Kathy Geeraerts/ Kenny Neyens vs Sophie Jacobs/ Nick Mees 3-0
Laurent Toussaint/ Marie-Christine De Becker vs Kathy Geeraerts/ Kenny Neyens 2-3
This was a really tight game. We won because Kenny finished 50 after Laurent and Marie-Christine missed several darts at the double.
Kathy Geeraerts/ Kenny Neyens vs Stephen Bunting/ Anastasia Dobromyslova 2-3
I missed 62 for the match. Really close and exciting game.
Stephen and Anastasia won the mixed pairs by beating Dimitri Van Den Bergh and Casey Gallagher in the final.
In the afternoon I played the ladies pairs with Peggy Van Ballaert.
Kathy Geeraerts/ Peggy Van Ballaerts vs Elke Aelvoet/ Ludwine Desmet 3-0
Kyana Frauenfelder/ Anca Zijlstra vs Kathy Geeraerts/ Peggy Van Ballaerts 2-3
Casey Gallagher/ Lisa Ashton vs Kathy Geeraerts/ Peggy Van Ballaerts 3-0
Ladies pairs were won by Zoe Jones/ Trina Gulliver by beating Deta Hedman/ Fallon Sherrock in the final.
Men's pairs were won by Wesley Harms/ Jeffrey De Graaf by beating Davyd Venken/ Donie Michiels in the final.
I think I got 32 points by making it to the last 32 in the singles.
