Toernooizege in Crawley voor Colin Lloyd
Het tweede Players Championshiptoernooi in Crawley is door Colin Lloyd op naam geschreven. Colin speelde de finale tegen Andy Hamilton die na 8 gespeelde legs eigenlijk de beste kaarten in handen had voor de overwinning. Andy leidde op dat moment met 5-3 en was slechts 1 leg van de titel verwijderd. Colin kwam sterk terug door onder andere een 130 finish in de negende leg, en was de stand 4-5 voor Hamilton. In de 10de leg mist Colin de bull voor een tweede 130 finish en legt Hamilton aan voor dubbel 16 voor een 112 finish. Die laatste dart vindt zijn doel niet waardoor Colin er een beslissingsleg uit weet te slepen.In die elfde en laatste leg pakt Lloyd zijn allereerste kans op de dubbel vijf voor de partij en laat hij Andy met lege handen staan. Voor Co Stompé was de eerste ronde opnieuw de dremple waar hij niet overheen wist te komen. Ook Mareno Michels, gisteren nog goed voor twee ronden, ging er die ronde uit samen met de Belg Kurt Van De Rijck.
In ronde twee gingen Vincent van der Voort, Jelle Klaasen en Jerry Hendriks het toneel af en de laatste 2 Nederlanders, Michael van Gerwen en Roland Scholten sneuvelden bij de laatste 32.
Belg Kim Huybrechts kwam tot en met de halve finale, daar was Andy Hamilton hem de baas.
