Speedy searching for a champagne moment!

The Machine might have won the UK Open, but who will win the Speedy champagne moment?!

After launching a sparkling array of activities for darts fans at the UK Open in Bolton, sponsors Speedy Hire is calling on supporters to bring the curtain down on the tournament in style – courtesy of a champagne moment award.

The bubbly new initiative is designed to give fans the chance to vote for their favourite moment from the four days, across the boards.

It could be Speedy qualifier Ryan Murray’s stunning 4-0 win over Colin Monk in round one, or James Wade’s winning dart against Wes Newton in the final itself.

The champagne moment could be a starring performance in a certain round, or an outstanding competition for a relative outsider.

A random fan who voted for the winning player will win a pair of tickets to the World Matchplay in Blackpool on Wednesday July 20 and a chance to present the triumphant player with his award, courtesy of the PDC.
Speedy’s group marketing director Steve McIntyre said: “There were so many memorable performance across the four days that we wanted to create an award to commemorate them.

“We want the fans to help us with the award and vote for their favourite moment from a list provided on our official darts website.”

Steve said that the interaction with supporters over the four days was the highlight of Speedy’s sponsorship, which saw around 1,500 people join the Speedy’s twitter page, while 9,000 fans logged onto the official Speedy blog by the end of the competition.

Speedy’s Facebook site has also attracted 550 friends in a further show of success.

Matt Porter, chief executive of the PDC said: ““It was great to have the Speedy Group on board for the UK Open.

“Their pro-active approach to their sponsorship ensured a great connection with darts fans and we look forward to having them as part of the PDC family in the years ahead.”
