Andy Jenkins
Andrew 'Andy' Jenkins (born 11 March 1971 in Portsmouth, Hampshire) is an English darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events. Jenkins had trials for Southampton Football Club while at school.
BDO career
Jenkins began his career playing in British Darts Organisation competitions and had some success in the open events. He took the Embassy British Gold Cup Singles in 1994, England Open in 2000, Swiss Open and Japan Open in 2001 and the Isle of Man Open in 2002.
His record at the BDO World Darts Championship was disappointing. He made his debut at the Lakeside Country Club in 1995, and managed only one win in his seven consecutive appearances. His only victory came in 1996 against Belgian Bruno Raes, and suffered defeats to Andy Fordham (1996, 1998), Sean Palfrey (1995), Ronnie Baxter (1997), Graham Hunt (1999), Colin Monk (2000) and Kevin Painter (2001).
Despite his poor record at Lakeside, Jenkins made it to the semi-finals of the revived News of the World Darts Championship in 1997, and the quarter-finals of the Winmau World Masters in 1999 and 2000.
