LLOYD TAKES BLACKPOOL GLORY - AGAIN! |
|
 |
COLIN LLOYD gained a second successive
victory in Blackpool, with an 8-5 defeat of Ronnie Baxter
giving him victory in the 2005 Bob Anderson Classic.
Lloyd took home the Stan James World
Matchplay title on his last visit to the north-west, and
warmed up for his defence of the Sky Bet World Grand Prix in
style this time around.
The world number one threw a total of 17
maximum 180's in his 7-2 semi-final win over Wayne Mardle
and the final against Baxter, which he won 8-5 and averaged
almost 103. |
|
"It has been a good weekend for me," said
Lloyd. "It's a major event, all the big names were here and
I am pleased with how I played. |
|
"The World Grand Prix will be different with
the double-start, but this has filled me with a bit of
confidence because I know I'm playing well."
|
|
In-form Baxter averaged 102 in the final, but
was unable to take the killer blow against Lloyd after
edging out Adrian Lewis in a gruelling semi-final, which
went down to the final leg. |
|
Lewis himself ended the hopes of mentor Phil
Taylor at the quarter-final stage, while Roland Scholten and
Mark Dudbridge lifted their confidence ahead of the World
Grand Prix by reaching the last eight. |
|
Bolton's Steve Coote also made the
quarter-finals, losing to Lloyd after an impressive win over
Chris Mason. |

BIG GUNS UNSCATHED |
|
The big guns from the Professional Darts
Corporation progressed unscathed to the second day of The
Bob Anderson Classic in Blackpool. |
|
Saturday's first two rounds were split
between the Thornton and Fleetwood Clubs, with only Denis
Ovens the absent John Part not progressing to the last 32
from the top ten seeds. |
|
World number one Colin Lloyd will take on
Steve Maish in their third round contest on Sunday after
progressing at Thornton, while a tasty clash sees Andy
Jenkins meet Chris Mason. |
|
Alan Warriner dropped just two legs on his
way through, while Roland Scholten overcame Colin Monk and
Rod Harrington to set up a clash with Sky Bet World Grand
Prix qualifier James Wade. |
|
Another World Grand Prix qualifier, Gary
Welding, was in good form at the Fleetwood Club, winning his
games against Chris Allen and Erik Clarys 6-1 to earn a date
with Peter Manley on Sunday. |
|
Reigning Bob Anderson Classic champion Terry
Jenkins is also in the hunt, as is another former champion,
Kevin Painter, and World Champion Phil Taylor.
