PDCSunday, 09 December 2018 at 18:22
Glen Durrant has won the 2018 Finder Darts Masters. The Middlesbrough ace completed his hat-trick after winning this BDO major in 2015 and 2016 as well.
'Duzza' really had to fight for the title, as Richard Veenstra offered fierce opposition. 'Flyers' even took a 3-1 lead in sets against Durrant.
However, the Dutchman was not able to continue his strong performance from the first interval after the break. Durrant became stronger and redeemded more chances on the doubles. He won the next three sets on the spin, while dropping only two legs for a 4-3 lead.
Veenstra took the lead in set eight with a 12-dart leg, but 'Duzza' made one a piece with a fantastic 170 checkout. The two-time Lakeside champion then hit a 50 finish, followed by a 12-dart leg to claim the title at the Finder Darts Masters.
The finals of the youth and ladies tournament were played earlier on Sunday. Lisa Ashton defeated Fallon Sherrock to claim the ladies title, while Keane Barry won the youth event.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
