Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>Nichol Esparon has returned to winning ways by clinching the Association Singles Knockout competition played recently at the Happy Youth Club darts room.<\/b><\/p>\n

Clashing with seasoned darts player Terrance Hallock in the final, Esparon pulled off a nail-biting 7-6 win to go even with the former with one singles title each to their name this year.<\/p>\n

Last month, Hallock had triumphed in the Curtain-raiser singles played on a knockout basis by edging Esparon 7-6 in the final.<\/p>\n

During the Association Singles Knockout competition, Esparon beat Paul Vidot 3-1 in the quarterfinal and dispatched Patrick Radegonde on a 5-2 score in the semifinal.<\/p>\n

As for losing finalist Hallock, he met Jack Micock in the quarterfinal and won 3-1 before thumping Hans Radegonde 5-1 in the semifinal.<\/p>\n

Third place went to Hans Radegonde who whitewashed Patrick Radegonde 3-0.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if two-time player of the year Esparon could match his six singles tournament wins achieved last year. In 2021, he triumphed in six singles tournaments, namely the Curtain-raiser knockout, Association singles knockout, National singles knockout, Association League singles, Bel Air Open singles knockout, and BG Open singles knockout.<\/p>\n

The only singles competition he did not win is the President\u2019s Cup which he lost to Marc Pouponneau.<\/p>\n
