Wayne Jones was victorious on Saturday as he was crowned the winner of Week Nine at the Modus Super Series. The Wonderer defeated Mareno Michels in the final to secure a place in Champions Week and winning the weekly £5,000 top prize.
Jones, who entered the finale having finished 3rd in Group B on Thursday and Friday, began the night by winning just one of his two group phases, as he narrowly suffered a defeat to Mareno Michels, before defeating Kevin Painter to edge through to the Semi Finals.
The Wolverhampton star next came up against Mark Dudbridge. In a battle between two veterans of the sport, it was Jones who came out victorious to book his place in the final.
In the decider, Jones was pitched against Dutchman Mareno Michels who’d defeated reigning MSS Champion Jim McEwan in the last four and ended the Scotsman’s hopes of reaching Champions Week and defending his crown.
As for Jones, he got his revenge over Michels, as he defeated the Dutchman 4-1 to seal his place in Champions Week and picked up the £5,000 weekly first prize.
The Modus Super Series returns on Monday for the start of Week 10, with the first of three days of Group A commencing, as the field includes North American star Alex Spellman.
Play will commence from 9:30am GMT and will be streamed live on the Modus YouTube channel, Sporty Stuff TV or via various bookmaker’ websites worldwide.
