Wigan Wins For Reynolds & Twell

DEAN REYNOLDS and Ross Twell picked up their second victories of 2016 on the PDC Unicorn Development Tour with success in Events Nine and Ten in Wigan on Saturday.

The duo were both victorious in Germany last month, and kicked off the third weekend of the year on the Development Tour by taking a £2,000 first prize apiece at the Robin Park Tennis Centre.

Welsh-born Reynolds, 23, secured back-to-back victories as he took the £2,000 first prize in Event Nine, edging out Kirk 4-3 in the final by taking out a 161 finish for a 12-darter.

Reynolds also defeated Josh McCarthy, Scott Jackson and Ryan De Vreede before whitewashing Jimmy Hendriks in the last 16, before being pushed all the way by Callum Loose in the quarter-finals, which were followed by a 4-1 semi-final win over Nick Kenny.

Kirk - a double winner on the Development Tour in 2015 - overcame Sonny Johal, Reece Colley, Liam DeVries, Ben Oldroyd, Ted Evetts, Aaron Dyer and Adam Hunt on his way to the final.

Reynolds was defeated in the last 64 of the day's second event as he went down 4-0 to Jeffrey de Zwaan, before 23-year-old Twell - from Sleaford in Lincolnshire - went on to take the title, having previously claimed the Event Six win in Muelheim.

Twell saw off Connor Bowler, Rhys Hayden, Jack Faragher and Billy Holmes before seeing off Bradley Kirk 4-1 in the quarter-finals and Aden Kirk 4-2 in the semis, and a 4-2 win over Dutch ace Hendriks secured the triumph.

Hendriks, from Castricum in the Netherlands, has previously reached two Development Tour semi-finals but went one better this time by winning through to the final.

The 22-year-old overcame Dimitri Van den Bergh, Sonny Johal, Dean Forde, Ryan McCarthy, Greg Ritchie and Josh McCarthy before whitewashing fellow Dutchman Dirk van Duijvenbode in the semi-finals.

Van Duijvenbode had also been a quarter-finalist in Event Nine during a successful day, while Adam Hunt, Nick Kenny and Aden Kirk were semi-finalists during the double-header.

Play in Wigan continues on Sunday with Event 11 and Event 12, with a further £20,000 in prize money on offer in another Development Tour double-header.
