ARRON MONK and Michael Smith took victories in the opening two events of the 2012 PDC Unicorn Youth Tour in Derby on Saturday.
The double-header at the Moorways Centre kicked off the £60,000-plus Youth Tour with the first two of 21 tournaments to be held throughout the year.
Over 140 players took part in the two tournaments held on Saturday, with a third event to be held on Sunday as the opening weekend comes to a close.
Arron Monk, the 2011 Under-21 World Champion, took the £500 first prize in Event One, defeating James Hubbard 4-0 in the final with a fine performance, which he kicked off with a 150 finish to win the first leg and also included a 14-darter in the whitewash.
He also defeated Chris Aubrey, Michael Smith, Jamie Green, Martin Heneghan, Jamie Lewis and Adam Hunt in a high-quality display.
Monk went on to reach the Last 16 of Event Two later in the day, seeing off both Green and Heneghan again as well as one of last year's Youth Tour event winners, Ricky Evans, before losing out to Daniel King-Morris.
North London's King-Morris, though, went down 4-2 to St Helens' emerging star Smith in the Event Two final, as the 21-year-old followed up his second PDC ProTour victory earlier this year by claiming a Youth Tour triumph, which included him hitting seven darts towards a possible nine-darter for the third time in the day.
Smith was also victorious against Hubbard and Aubrey on his way to the title, as well as defeating Daniel Wood, Ryan Herrington and John de Kruijf in the event.
Norfolk's Hubbard, who will contest the PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship final against Michael van Gerwen at The O2 in London next month, picked up £300 as the Event One runner-up and also reached the semi-finals of Event Two.
Swindon's Aubrey, who has also picked up experience on the professional circuit alongside Monk and Smith in the past 18 months, reached a semi-final and a quarter-final on Saturday, while Brandonn Monk and Ireland's Paddy Meaney reached the Last 16 of both events.
Sunday sees Event Three take place at the Moorways Centre, with a further £3,000 in prize money on offer.
