Michael van Gerwen beaten in Players Championship event final

Benito van de Pas gained revenge for his Players Championship defeat to Michael van Gerwen on Friday by beating him in Saturday's final.

The Barnsley Metrodome was painted orange once again as the Dutch rivals again battled their way through the field to meet for a second time in 24 hours.

Van Gerwen, fresh from a 117.95 average in Thursday's Premier League, was victorious on Friday but it was the turn of 23-year-old Van de Pas to take the plaudits on Saturday with a 6-5 victory.

After the pair traded 13-darters to kick off the game, Van Gerwen produced legs of 12, 13 and 14 darts to pull into a 4-1 lead in a high-quality contest.

Van de Pas hit back with an 11-darter before Van Gerwen took the seventh leg to move to the brink of victory at 5-2, but the youngster hit back with three successive legs to level the contest before a 12-darter in the deciding leg gave him victory.

Van de Pas ended the final with a brilliant 110.24 average after landing seven 180s and a 106 checkout, with Van Gerwen averaging 111.72 in defeat as he hit four maximums and a 134 finish.

Van de Pas' route to the final began with a 6-2 win over Nigel Heydon before he then defeated Jason Wilson and Mark Webster.

The Dutchman then whitewashed Chris Dobey, picked out by Phil Taylor as one to watch, in the last 16, Dobey having overcome James Wade and Steve Beaton on route to the last 16. Alan Norris and Gerwyn Price completed the Dutchman's path to the final.

Van Gerwen saw off Mark Frost, Stephen Willard, Matthew Dennant, Simon Whitlock and Jelle Klaasen during his run before knocking out world champion Gary Anderson 6-4 in the semi-finals.

Sunday sees the ProTour weekend conclude with a third Players Championship tournament, as 128 players compete for £75,000 in prize money.
