PDC Youth Tour- 4





DIMITRI VAN DEN BERGH picked up victory in the fourth PDC Unicorn Youth Tour event of 2014, as he defeated Shaun Narain 4-2 in Saturday's final.
Van Den Bergh followed up last year's Unicorn Challenge Tour win - when he tasted success on his debut on the PDC circuit - by claiming the £1,000 first prize at Reading's Rivermead Centre in Saturday's tournament.

The 19-year-old from Antwerp put a last 16 defeat to Reece Robinson in the PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship - staged earlier in the day - behind him as he dropped only two legs in early victories over Daniel Lidgett and Conor Mayes.

He then defeated Samuel Fuller 4-2 before again dropping only one leg in victories over Mike Zuydwijk - last week's Event Three winner - Keegan Brown and Adam Smith-Neale to reach the final, where he saw off Narain 4-2.

Naran's run to the decider, which earned him £500 in prize money, was his best on the PDC's Development Tours so far, but matched his achievement in a North American ProTour event last year.

The 21-year-old from Calgary, the 2013 Canadian Open winner, had been a last 32 loser in the World Youth Championship, but matched Van Den Bergh's impressive response.

He opened Youth Tour Event Four with a whitewash of Austria's Fredi Gsellmann, defeated Ryan Hogarth and Rowby-John Rodriguez 4-2 and also saw off Matthew Dicken before edging out Shaun Lovett 4-3 in the quarter-finals.

He then overcame Welsh-born Dean Reynolds 4-2 in the semi-finals, but had to settle for the runner-up prize as Van Den Bergh proved too strong.

Reynolds and Smith-Neale took home £250 after reaching the last four, while Keegan Brown followed up his achievement in qualifying for the World Youth Championship final by joining Lovett, George Killington and George Gardner in the quarter-finals.

The Dutch quartet of Zuydwijk, Benito van de Pas, John De Kruijf and Jeffrey De Zwaan were joined in the last 16 by Matthew Dicken, Lee Whitworth, Jake Patchett and Indian newcomer Amit Gilitwala.
