Priestley Takes Victory On The Rock
DENNIS PRIESTLEY has won the Stan James Players Championship in Gibraltar with a 3-2 victory over Terry Jenkins in the final.
Priestley, whose last tournament win came in Montreal last May, took the £5,000 first prize and 20 ranking points for the triumph.
Jenkins had defeated Wayne Mardle and Colin Lloyd during the new tournament, but was edged out in a deciding set in the final by the Yorkshireman.
Lloyd reached the latter stages for the second successive event, while Jason Clark overcame Andy Jenkins and Alan Warriner-Little on his way to the semis.
Dave Honey defeated young guns Wes Newton and Adrian Lewis in a run to the last eight, alongside Ronnie Baxter, Mark Walsh and Mark Robinson.
Manolo Vilerio, Roy Rogers, Nicholas Cumbo, Amos Bassano, Juan Asquez, Francis Taylor, Eric Segui and Owen Phillips won places in the main event from a qualifying tournament for local players.
