Verdonck and Rekinen claim victory at BDO Austrian Open in Vienna

In the men's field, the stand-out names included Michael Unterbuchner, John Scott and Francis Carragher in what was a Category D tournament.

Scott lost out early doors in a 4-3 defeat to Patrick Tringler who fell at the Quarter-Final stage. Carragher lost out in the Last 16 to József Rucska.

Unterbuchner on the other hand lost out Markus Straub who reached the final in the Quarter-Finals. Verdonck's route saw him defeat Rucska as well as Áron Böröczi.

He then saw off Straub who had seen off number four seed Jeffrey van Egdom in the semi-finals in a 6-2 victory.

In the ladies, number four seed Kaisu Rekinen saw off Jitka Cisarova in a 5-2 win after seeing off Csombok Krisztina and then Jasmin Schnier in a brilliant victory for the Finn. It was a second title of the year which should see her reach the top 40 in the BDO rolling title.
