Fowler & Clark Enjoy Challenge Tour Wins

COLIN FOWLER and Matt Clark claimed victory in the year's final two PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour events, but Mark Frost and Alan Tabern were left celebrating winning PDC Tour Cards by topping the Order of Merit.

Fowler followed up his April double-header of triumphs by claiming victory in Event 15, with the £2,000 prize money putting him within touching distance of the top two in the rankings going into the final event.

Fowler defeated David Copley, Matthew Dicken, Tony Richardson and Matt Clark to reach the quarter-finals, before seeing off John Burgess 5-1.

He then overcame Wayne Pepper 5-3 in the semis, before completing his 2014 hat-trick of victories by dropping only one leg against Dutch youngster Dirk van Duijvenbode in the final.

Van Duijvenbode's success earned him £1,000 in prize money, as he whitewashed Barry Tyler in his opening game and then defeated Scott Mackenzie, Mark Forman, Paul Rowley, Mark Jones and Jay Foreman.

Steve Douglas, the Event 14 runner-up to Mark Frost in September, was amongst the quarter-final losers alongside Jones, Burgess and Barry Lynn.

Frost was a first round loser to Nick Fullwell, while Tabern suffered a narrow second round defeat to Ron Meulenkamp as Fowler closed the gap to send the race for PDC Tour Cards into the final event.

The top two saw their fortunes reversed as Tabern lost in round one to Doug Thompson, who then overcame Frost in the second round - but Fowler crucially lost out to Andy Pearce in the last 64 to mean that the duo claim two-year PDC Tour Cards for their success on the 2014 Challenge Tour.

Veteran professional Matt Clark went on to take victory in Event 16 as he came from 4-2 down in the final against Steve Douglas to edge the win.

Clark overcame Tyler, Lee Palfreyman, Kevin Lane, Scott Mackenzie, Jones and Pepper as he took the £2,000 first prize to finish sixth in the final Challenge Tour Order of Merit.

Douglas defeated Stuart Holden, Stephen Gallimore, Matthew Dicken, Michael Burgoine and Nick Fullwell on his way to the final, with the £1,000 prize money helping him finish eighth in the Order of Merit.
