TERRY JENKINS is taking nothing for granted as he seeks a play-off berth in his first Holsten Premier League Darts campaign.
The SkyBet World Grand Prix finalist has won half of his first eight matches in the Premier League and drawn two.
The second of those came in Glasgow on Thursday, as he came from 5-2 down to grab a point against Dennis Priestley.

He ended the eighth of 14 league nights in fourth place in the table, four points clear of Roland Scholten.
"I need another couple of wins to make sure of my place, but I'm not going to go up there thinking I am in the top four now," said Jenkins.
"I'm going to go up there to try and win every match that I'm in."
Jenkins made a brilliant start to take a 2-0 lead before finding himself having to fight back in the second half of the match.
"It was a battle but there was a lot of pressure on me and Dennis," he said. "We both needed to win or get a draw to stay in that top four.
"The way the game went, to be honest I'm happy just getting a point out of it.
"I started struggle big time but seemed to hit the shots when I needed them.
"The 105 finish in the ninth leg, to pull back to 5-4, was crucial moment but I still missed a lot of doubles after that."
Jenkins admitted that he is still adapting to the Premier League schedule, which saw him travelling from Glasgow to Frankfurt for Saturday's Players Championship, having reached the final of the Blue Square UK Open North-West Regional Final last weekend.
"I got off to a good start against Dennis but then I felt as though I was overheating," he admitted.
"I was a little bit hot, my shirt was sticking to me and I didn't feel comfortable.
"It may be to do with playing in the UK Open Regional Final at the weekend. I reached the final and maybe I've played too much darts.
"I feel a bit tired at the moment and we're doing a lot of travelling, but I will hopefully do well in Germany and then come back for next week.
"I can understand why Raymond van Barneveld struggles sometimes, it's a lot of travelling for him and Roland Scholten to do from Holland every week."
