Puma Darts (Aim For Perfection)

Triumphant Team Puma Returns
 
The Puma NZ Dart Team or "Team Puma" as it has been affectionately named returned home on Monday after a very successful trip.
 
The itinerary for the trip was fairly full on with the team having to front up to their first match only hours after a gruelling 20 hours of travel. This however did not stop them from performing at the highest levels.
 
Firstly Bernie Smith, Robert Grant & Jannette Jonathan took out the main places in a "Soft Tip" darts tournament and along with the efforts of the other team members won the overall title.
After several more engagements and exhibition matches the team competed in the Japan "Spring Open" (Steel Tip) Darts Tournament. There was a very large field and this time it was "Australian No.1" Simon Whitlock's turn to take a title for the team by winning the  Men's Singles with other team members Bernie Smith 3rd and Robert Grant and Warren Parry sharing 9th Equal. Once again in the Ladies Singles - Jannette Jonathan showed that she has returned to top form by taking out the title while her sister Marion Morgan also showed good form by placing 3rd.
 
The Japanese Officials were so impressed with the professional attitude and standard of the team that they have invited two of its members Robert Grant & Jannette Jonathan back to Japan in July for the World Ranking Japan Open in Tokyo.
 
There is also further talk of inviting "Team Puma" back again next year.
 
Well done to all the members and a special thanks must go to Puma Darts Managing Director - Peter McCormick for arranging the tour.

Australia's Simon WhitlockTeam Puma make it two from two with Jannette Joanthan and Australia's Simon Whitlock took the Ladies and Men's Singles in the Japan "Spring Open" (Steel Tip) Darts Tournament. Jannette's sister Marion Morgan finished 3rd and Bernie Smith Finished 3rd in the Men's.

The Puma NZ Darts Team presently touring Japan has just played in their 1st "Soft Tip" darts tournament with Bernie Smith winning the Men's Open as well taking out the pairs with team mate Robert Grant. The ladies also fared well with Jannette Jonathan winning the Ladies Open singles. The entire team Bernie Smith, Robert Grant, Warren Parry, Simon Whitlock (Aus), Jannette Jonathan and Marion Morgan took out the "Teams Title" and were declared overall champions.
 
Although "Soft Tip" darts is not played in New Zealand - it has a huge following in Japan and The United States - so for NZ Team members to win at their first attempt is "another feather in their caps".
 
The teams next game on the tour is a "Steel Tip" tournament and results will be posted as they come to hand.
