Wayne Jones shocked in PDC Gibraltar Trophy
Wolverhampton's Wayne Jones tumbled out of the PDC's Gibraltar Darts Trophy in the first round after he was shocked 6-2 by unknown darter Josh Payne.
Nonetheless, 'the Wanderer' remains No 32 in the Order of Merit today despite his latest European Tour challenge ending at the first hurdle on Friday night.
Payne, a regular on the Youth Tour, was a comprehensive 6-2 winner after punishing poor finishing from Jones, who is having a nightmare year on the floor.
Rugeley's Mark Hylton never got started, either, as he was shot down by the clinical finishing of the in-form Peter Wright, who conceded nothing in six legs and won 6-0.
Bloxwich's Matthew Dennant endured a tough first draw against world No 12 Robert Thornton but the Scot was pushed close by the 22-year-old, who took four legs before losing 6-4.
Phil Taylor was crowned the winner of the tournament at the Victoria Stadium, claiming £20,000 prize money in the process, after beating Welsh youngster Jamie Lewis 6-1 last night.
