Durrant raced into a 7-0 lead to claim a minimum of a point and despite Gurney coming back late into proceedings, he claimed victory.

After playing down previously winning the tournament, the three time Lakeside Champion and current Premier League leader now has a goal to win it.

“If you had asked me my targets before tonight I would have said just get in to the top four but now the goal is to win it,” said Durrant at the conclusion of the match.

“I’ve had a brilliant year or so but I’ve won nothing yet and that is all I want now, that one trophy to show what a good player I am.”

“I’m playing the best I have ever played and feel like I am finishing better than anyone else in the world, to top the league would be a dream come true but there is a lot of work left to do.”
