Ryan Searle's brilliant rise continues as he becomes the first player through to the final of the 2021 Players Championship Finals and reaches his first major final as a result.
Searle produced a brilliant win over Brendan Dolan sealing it 11-6 with three 180's and a high checkout of 120 en route from 'Heavy Metal' and he will face either Jonny Clayton or Peter Wright later.
The opening five legs went with throw with Searle having a narrow lead over Dolan who went on to miss double 12 for a nine-darter before a dramatic passage of play which saw him go 180, 177 in the next leg before squandering darts at doubles which allowed Searle to make it 4-4.
He followed that up with 96 using double 18, double 20 to make it 5-4 and after the break, Searle hit the gas again with an 11-darter and when Dolan missed a dart at double 20, he was there to break and make it 7-5.
It was Dolan doing all the scoring but Searle continued to finish consolidating the break before completing the feat again with a 120 checkout to go 9-5 up.
Dolan was let off the hook though after four missed darts at double from Searle just before the interval but this proved to be a momentary blip as he returned to break again and claim it on double four 11-6.
