17-year-old Thomas Banks takes weekly title on MODUS Super Series
MODUS
Thomas Banks has crowned himself the winner of the latest week on the the MODUS Super Series last weekend. The 17-year-old darter proved too strong for Conor Heneghan in the final of the eighth week of play.
A new competition is played each week in the MODUS Super Series. The best six players from the first five days of play met Saturday divided into two groups during the final day of the eighth week of play. In the thirteenth week of play, the 12 weekly winners will take on each other.
The top six players from Monday through Friday's group matches were allowed to compete in Saturday's final day, which consisted of two groups. In Group A, Heneghan managed to win both of his matches against Moreno Blom (4-0) and Scott Mitchell (4-2), while Mitchell finished second after a 4-2 win over Blom.
Banks remained unbeaten in Group B after victories over Tom Lonsdale (4-0) and Mike van Duivenbode (4-2). Because Van Duivenbode did win 4-0 over Lonsdale, the Dutchman did advance to the semifinals.
In the first semifinal, Heneghan eliminated Van Duivenbode (4-3). Banks then became the second finalist by defeating Mitchell 4-3. So in the final, Heneghan and Banks faced each other. Banks then managed to claim the title and the top prize of 5,000 pounds by defeating Heneghan 4-2.
Tom Sykes, Jim Long, Richard Rowlands, Jimmy van Schie, Neil Duff, Paul Hogan and Adam Paxton were the first seven weekly winners, which means we will see those men back later during finals week in late August.

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
