THE fifth PDPA Players Championship tournament of 2005 takes place next Saturday at the Citywest Hotel in Ireland.
Phil Taylor won his second successive Players Championship when he came from 2-0 down to defeat Colin Lloyd 3-2 in the last event at Newport recently.
Lloyd and Ronnie Baxter are the other winners following their successes on the Isle of Wight in June, but they will again face stiff competition, with 116 players entering for the Dublin tournament.
