DartsLive- The World- Stage 5

The latest stage of DARTSLIVE - THE WORLD, the world's biggest soft-tip darts tournament, saw players from over 20 countries taking part, including PDC stars Mark Webster and Adrian Gray, as well as Japanese ace Morihiro Hashimoto and leading female player Anastasia Dobromyslova.

Ilagan edged out Lim in the final in a deciding leg of the Cricket format as he claimed the Stage Five win, which followed up his victory in the DARTSLIVE IDF World Cup Team event 24 hours earlier.

"I feel so happy to have won, and proud for my country," said Ilagan, a two-time Ladbrokes World Darts Championship qualifier.

"It's my first stage win this year, and I had to prepare very hard for this event. I wanted to prove something. Playing against Paul, I always feel pressure as he always plays so well."

Lim, the 2011 DARTSLIVE - THE WORLD Champion - sits at the top of this year's rankings following his run to the final of Stage Five, ahead of Japan's Takehiro Suzuki and two-time event winner Ronald Briones, with American Scott Kirchner and Croatia's Boris Kcrmar tied for fourth.

Following the eight Stages, the top 100 ranked players will travel to Hong Kong in December for the Grand Final, with Stage Six to be held in Las Vegas on September 21 before Hong Kong hosts Stage Seven on October 13 and Stage Eight on November 3.
