Taylor Wins At Wembley!

PHIL TAYLOR won his second Regional Final of the 2007 Blue Square UK Open with a 2-0 win over Wayne Mardle.

Taylor took the first prize in the opening Regional Final in Wales last September, and backed that up at The Torch in London to add a further £5,000 to his prize money.

He had to battle past Darren Richardson, Martyn Turner, Andy Jenkins and Alan Tabern to reach the last eight, before heading to Wembley on Sunday.

He whitewashed Dennis Priestley in the quarter-finals, defeated Colin Lloyd in straight sets in the semis and backed that up with a 2-0 win in the final.
