Brendan Dolan Beats Jamie Robinson in Barnsley to Claim Second ProTour Title

Northern Ireland star Brendan Dolan secured his second ProTour title following a convincing 6-1 victory over Jamie Robinson in the final of the last Players Championship of 2013.

'The History Maker' backed up early victories against Connie Finnan, Keith Stephen and Mark Jones with a tense 6-4 success over Wes Newton to advance to the quarter-finals at the Barnsley Metrodome.

He then overcame Scotland's Gary Anderson 6-3 before putting a together a run of four straight legs in his semi-final against Terry Jenkins to win 6-2 and seal a spot in the final.

Colchester's Robinson produced a remarkable run, beating Shaun Griffiths, Ronny Huybrechts, Joey Palfreyman, Andy and Jamie Lewis to reach the last four where he snatching a dramatic deciding leg victory against Ricky Evans to reach the final.

Dolan quickly established a 3-0 lead in the final, landing double 16 and then breaking again with a 180 in another 13-darter.

He then hit double 16 to win the fourth leg before Robinson took out 62 to get a leg on the board, but the world No 15 took the next two legs and completed the win in style by converting a 90 finish on double ten for a 12-darter to collect the ￡10,000 winner's prize.

"It feels brilliant and I'm chuffed to bits," said Dolan, who won his maiden ranking title at the start of November in Wigan.

"The class of players on the tour now is so great that this is the best place in the world to play darts, and it means so much to win another tournament.

"I'd like it to become more of a habit now and the dream is obviously to go on and win a big TV event now. This is a great platform for me to build on going into the Players Championship Finals and World Championship.

"I'm playing well and I know that I can beat anyone if I get my concentration right. I'm really positive about my game at the moment, I'm confident and I know I'm playing well."
