DEAN REYNOLDS and Reece Robinson both picked up £1000 winner’s cheques on Saturday as the pair were victorious in the PDC Unicorn Youth Tour double-header in Coventry.
It was a first PDC Unicorn Youth Tour title for Reynolds and a second for Robinson, three years after his maiden win in 2011 when the development circuit was introduced.
In the first event of two held at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday, Welshman Reynolds ended his wait for a first Youth Tour title as he defeated two-time World Championship qualifier Max Hopp 4-2 in the final.
Cardiff-born Reynolds - who also qualified for March's Coral UK Open - began his run to a maiden title with a 4-2 victory over 2013 World Youth Championship quarter-finalist Dean Finn and a comprehensive 4-0 win against another Irishman, Liam Gallagher.
Reynolds then saw off strong opposition again in the last 16 as he edged a tight encounter 4-3 against Sam Hewson, who won the fifth 2014 Youth Tour event in Wigan earlier in the year.
A 4-1 win over Jack Tweddell and a 4-3 victory against James Thompson followed for Reynolds, setting up a final showdown with German teenager Hopp.
Hopp had enjoyed an impressive run to the last two himself, defeating PDC Unicorn World Youth Champion Keegan Brown and Youth Tour Event Six winner George Killington en route to his place in the final.
However, it was Reynolds who managed to hold his nerve in the final as he built up a 3-0 lead and then survived a brief comeback from Hopp to take the game 4-2 and secure the title.
In the second event of the afternoon, Hull-born Robinson won 4-2 in his final against Belgian Dimitri Van den Bergh, who moves to the top of the PDC Unicorn Youth Tour Order of Merit despite the defeat.
After receiving a first-round bye, Robinson squeezed past Daniel Lidgett 4-3 in round two before easily defeating James Young 4-0 in the third round.
Back-to-back 4-3 victories against Ryan de Vreede and Nick Kenny respectively then set up a semi-final clash against two-time PDC Unicorn Youth Tour winner Adam Hunt.
An impressive 4-1 win over Hunt sent Robinson through to the final alongside Van den Bergh, who had beaten the day’s earlier winner Reynolds and World Youth Champion Brown on his way to the last two.
However, it would be Robinson who managed to secure victory as he recovered from losing two consecutive legs to the Belgian before taking the game 4-2.
The PDC Development Tour weekend in Coventry continues on Sunday, when a double-header of PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour events will be held at the Ricoh Arena.
The PDC Unicorn Youth Tour will return following a summer break with a double-header in Coventry on September 27 and the year's final two events at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan on November 1.
The events are open to players aged from 16-21, with entry available through the PDC Online Entry System, with new players needing to register their details before entering, while existing players can enter as normal.
