First on the programme was the final of the Isle of Man Masters. That was won 5-4 by Copeland, after opponent Jordan Brooks had first missed two matchdarts.
The 16-year-old Littler then took the title at the Isle of Man Classic by beating Martin Atkins 5-4. Especially on the doubles, 'The Nuke' was rock solid. He needed only seven darts at double to win his five legs. Next, the Isle of Man Open was won by Turner, who beat Ryan Hogarth 5-3.
