Bunting moves into maiden European Tour final after ending Brown's run at Czech Darts Open

It was a 7-4 victory for the St Helens ace who has played well all weekend and has now ended the run of Brown who despite not winning a first title walks away with World Matchplay qualification.

'The Needle' took the opening leg hitting a 105 checkout setting his stall out early but Bunting replied by hitting double seven to level the tie up.

Bunting broke throw though in the following leg hitting a 113 to move 2-1 ahead but in probably one of the best finishes in some time on the European Tour, Brown hit back with a 125 checkout using a 25 and two bulls.

It continued to be tied up until Bunting took a 5-4 lead and from there he went one away with a 70 finish. He finished the job hitting double nine after missing double 18 for a 36 finish and continues his return to form after a period previously in the darting doldrums.
