Nathan Rafferty, Reece Robinson, Steven Noster and Sebastian Bialecki each picked up a Unicorn Challenge title as four events took place in Milton Keynes and Niedernhausen.

The second weekend of 2021 Challenge Tour action continued with another two events each at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes for UK-based players and the H+ Hotel, Niedernhausen for European-based players.

Three-time Development Tour title winner Rafferty, 21, claimed his first Challenge Tour crown, defeating Robert Rickwood 5-2 in the Event Ten final.

Earlier in the day former Tour Card Holder Robinson edged out USA's Daniel Lauby 5-4 in the Event Nine decider.

In Europe, there were maiden titles for Germany's Noster and upcoming Polish talent Bialecki.

Noster overcame Jimmy Hendriks 5-2 in the Event Nine final, before Bialecki edged out Kevin Doets 5-4 in the final game of the day.

The PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour continues with two more tournaments each in the UK and Europe on Sunday.

Each event features non-PDC Tour Card Holders who attended the 2021 Qualifying Schools, with the overall Order of Merit winner of each tour securing a PDC Tour Card for 2022/23 and a place in the 2021/22 William Hill World Darts Championship.
