Monk claims top spot in Icons of Darts League Group Four after impressive day

Monk began proceedings with his only defeat of the day to Jarred Cole (5-3) where despite a 103 average from the former World Youth Champion, it wasn't enough with Cole himself averaging 101 in claiming the win.

From there though, he went onto claim victory over Justin Smith (5-2), Ritchie Edhouse (5-3) and Keelan Kay (5-2) finally in his catch-up game which saw him finish top and get on track after only playing one game on Wednesday due to entering the tournament as a late replacement.

Cole finished second with a defeat to Keelan Kay (5-2) in his second game after beating Monk followed up with wins over Justin Smith (5-4) and Ritchie Edhouse (5-3).

But after Justin Smith ended the run of Keelan Kay who was sat on two wins and one defeat, Monk and Cole's fate was confirmed.
