Development Tour Wins For Kirk & Groen

BRADLEY KIRK and Sven Groen shared the spoils in Saturday's PDC Unicorn Development Tour double-header at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan.

The final weekend of the 2015 Development Tour season saw Events 13 and 14 take place in Wigan, with two further £10,000 tournaments being held on Sunday ahead of Monday's PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship last 64.

Southampton's Kirk, 21, picked up his first victory on the Development Tour, having reached two other finals previously this year.

He defeated Aiden Cope, George Killington, John De Kruijf, George Edwards, Berry van Peer, Adam Hunt and Shaun Griffiths to reach the final, where he overcame Nathan Aspinall 4-2 to take the win.

Aspinall defeated recent Challenge Tour event winner Chris Quantock in the semi-finals and also saw off Australia's Robbie King in the last eight, while reigning World Youth Champion Keegan Brown also reached the quarter-finals.

The Event 14 title went to Holland's 20-year-old Groen, who picked up his first career title with a 4-2 defeat of Nick Kenny in the final.

Groen, from Overijssel, also overcame Shane Reidy, Joshua Richardson, Jimmy Hendriks, Wouter Vaes, Shaun Griffiths and Ted Evetts in the event.

Welsh thrower Kenny, meanwhile, defeated John De Kruijf, Josh Payne, Liam Gallagher, Stephen Rosney and Germany's Thomas Luksch during the event.

Both Griffiths and Aspinall were quarter-finalists, while Evetts and De Kruijf reached the semi-finals.

Play continues on Sunday with another double-header at the Robin Park Tennis Centre.
