Thornton Takes Early Lead

Robert Thornton took the early lead on Monday, in ending Day 1 of Group A, top, after winning three of his five matches, with Week 6 of Stage 3 commencing at the Modus Super Series.

The newly crowned back-to-back World Seniors Darts Champion, Thornton, made his return to the Super Series by winning three matches from five, as he recorded victories over Lee Cocks, Sam Cankett and Richie Howson, with his two defeats coming against John Nelson and Gary Stafford. 

Elsewhere, Sam Cankett and Lee Cocks also ended the day on 6 points each, but sit behind Thornton due to their head-to-head statistic with ‘The Thorn’, whilst the remaining three players in Richie Howson ( above), John Nelson and Gary Stafford sit 4^th, 5^th and 6^th respectively on 4 points each. 

The Modus Super Series continues on Tuesday with the six players returning, hoping to boost their chances of securing a place in Saturday’s Finale, with Thornton leading the way thus far.

Play will begin at 9:30am GMT and will be streamed live on the Modus YouTube channel, Sporty Stuff TV, or via various bookmaker’s websites worldwide.
