UK Open Double For Barney

RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD won his second successive UK Open Regional Final with a 2-0 win over Barrie Bates in the final at Scotland's Magnum Centre.

Van Barneveld took the honours in Ireland a fortnight ago, and repeated the feat with a quality display in a repeat of the 2006 UK Open Final.

Bates won the final's opening leg, before van Barneveld hit back to level the set, break the Welshman's throw with a 13-darter and then land double eight to go 1-0 up.

He opened the second set with seven perfect darts, missing treble 19 in his bid for a nine-darter before taking the leg in 11.

A two-dart 80 finish broke Bates' throw again before he wrapped up the win in 13 darts to add a further £4,000 to his winnings - and move closer to the world's top 32 with 20 ranking points.

The Dutchman had earlier avenged his loss to Dennis Priestley from Saturday's PDPA Players Championship by winning their semi-final without dropping a leg.

Bates came from a set down in his semi-final against Mick McGowan to take victory with a 3-0 whitewash in the final set, wrapping up the win with a 160 finish.

Saturday's champion, Adrian Lewis, went out to Colin Lloyd to see his hopes of a second successive Scotland double dashed.

Local player Robert Thornton had a fine run to the last eight, where he lost in a deciding leg to Bates.
