Gilding set to face Jansen in final of Players Championship 9, first time ranking winner to be crowned in Barnsley

There will be a first time ranking winner crowned shortly in Barnsley with Andrew Gilding set to face Danny Jansen in the final of Players Championship 9.

Both players came through Q-School in January and have been super impressive since sealing their Tour Cards.

In the case of 'Goldfinger', it was a return to the tour and he capped off a quality day of action by seeing off the UK Open champion, Danny Noppert. A previous ProTour finalist, he will go in as favourite.

But in Jansen, a potential future hope for Dutch Darts has emerged with 19-year-old making his maiden PDC final after seeing off Dave Chisnall.

Chisnall came from behind to send it all the way with 'Menum Power' producing a quality leg when it mattered most on the throw of the St Helens ace to book his place.
