Yarmouth Title For Priestley

DENNIS PRIESTLEY won his second tournament of 2006 with a 6-3 triumph over Belgium's Erik Clarys to win the JR & Vauxhall 128 Plus Classic on Friday.

Priestley won January's Stan James Players Championship in Gibraltar and also reached the final of the Budweiser UK Open South-West Regional Final last month.

His form continued in Great Yarmouth as he took victory in the Category One tournament by seeing off Clarys.

He also overcame Mick Reed, James Wade and Matt Clark in the latter stages on his way to the title.

St Helens' Alan Tabern - a Ladbrokes.com World Championship qualifier in December - hit a nine-dart leg during the early rounds of the event before being knocked out by Reed in the last 16.
