Van Der Rassel Wins Primus Masters

JAN VAN DER RASSEL won the Primus Masters, defeating Spain's Braulio Roncero in the final.

The Dutchman came from a set down in the final to take the title, winning nine legs from 11 to succeed Terry Jenkins as champion.

Jenkins reached the last eight on his defence of the title, going down to Patrick van Veldhoven in the deciding leg after the Dutchman had earlier seen off Colin Osborne.

Stephan de Wit also progressed to the semi-finals, while Ronny and Kim Huybrechts were among the quarter-final losers.

Andy Smith and Colin Monk picked up one ranking point for reaching the last 16, alongside Josephus Schenk, one of the Dutch qualifiers for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship.

Denis Ovens was defeated by Roncero at the last 32 stage.
