Leg-By-Leg

0-0 Justin Pipe wins the bull, at the fifth time of asking!  and will throw first.

0-1 Newton starts superbly by checking out 146 on double 13 to break with a 12-darter.

1-1 Both hit 180s, but Newton misses double 18 to take out 99 and Pipe lands double 16 for a 12-dart leg to break back.

2-1 Pipe is first to a finish, initially missing double 16 for a 101 checkout before returning to hit double eight.

2-2 Pipe hits three ton-plus scores but cannot take out 126, leaving 28 onto to see Newton finish 61 by following up a bounce-out with a treble 11, double 14 combination.

2-3 Newton hits three 140s to be first to a finish, and takes out 81 for a 12-darter to break throw.

2-4 Newton again scores the heavier but misses two darts to take the leg before Pipe is just off-target on double 12 for a 104 finish, and the Fleetwood ace returns to land double eight with his third dart.

2-5 Newton hits a 180 to leave 60, and when Pipe misses double 16 for a 111 finish he returns to land tops for a 14-darter to move a leg away from victory.

2-6 Newton takes 5 consequetive legs to take the title
