Elsewhere, Ross Montgomery also progressed through to Saturday’s finale, after finishing 2nd overall on 12 points, whilst Jamie Kelling finished 3rd on 10 points, Dennis Van der Ende in 4th on 8 points, with Dan Nicholls and Darren Barton finishing 5th and 6th respectively on 6 points each.
In Group B, Robert Thornton topped the group overall, after winning three of his four matches on Friday Evening, as he recorded victories against Martin Adams, Mike Warburton and Justin Smith, with his only defeat coming against Tommy Morris, to end on 12 points from a possible 16 overall.
Elsewhere, Justin Smith and Mike Warburton also progressed through to Saturday’s finale, after the pair finished 2nd and 3rd respectively overall, with Smith ending on 12 points and Warburton on 6 points, edging out Tommy Morris, who also ended on 6 points, but missed out in 4th due to leg difference, whilst Martin Adams finished bottom on 4 points.
The Modus Super Series continues on Saturday with the conclusion of Week Two with the six players battling it out for just one spot up for grabs at Champions Week, with the action commencing from 7:30pm BST. Play will be streamed live on the Modus YouTube channel or via various bookmaker’ websites worldwide.
