Monk Completes Youth Tour Double

ARRON MONK ended the PDC Unicorn Youth Tour season by completing a double of wins on the final weekend at the K2 Centre in Crawley on Sunday night.

The former World Youth Champion had ensured that he will top the 2012 Order of Merit with victory in Saturday's £3,000 event against Chris Aubrey, but defeated Matthew Dennant in the final 24 hours later to add gloss to the success with his sixth win of the year.

Monk overcame Jack Morris and Aden Kirk before whitewashing his rival at the top of the Order of Merit, Michael Smith, to reach the quarter-finals, where he also failed to drop a leg against Brighton's Joe Davis.

Monk then edged out Dutch youngster Wouter Vaes 4-3 to reach the final, where he defeated Dennant 4-0, sealing the victory with a 112 checkout.

Walsall-based student Dennant, 21, overcame Shaun Griffiths 4-2 in the semi-finals to reach his first final on the Youth Tour, having been a quarter-finalist three times previously this year.

Griffiths and Vaes took home £200 each for reaching the semis, while Lewis Venes, Curtis Bagley and Brandonn Monk joined Davis in reaching the quarter-finals of the event.

Monk ends the year with £4,900 on the Youth Tour Order of Merit, with St Helens ace Smith second on £3,925, current World Youth Champion James Hubbard third on £2,850, Wales' Jamie Lewis fourth with £2,125 and Swindon's Chris Aubrey in fifth with £1,675 prize money won.

The top 32 players from the final 2012 PDC Unicorn Youth Tour Order of Merit will now qualify to compete next spring in the Last 64 of the World Youth Championship alongside a series of qualifiers from the UK and overseas.
