The 28-year-old overcame Northern Ireland's Brendan Dolan 8-4 in the final.

Rising star Nathan Aspinall thrashed Michael Van Gerwen en route to winning the seventh Players Championship event of the season in Barnsley.

The 28-year-old, currently ranked seventh in the world, overcame Northern Ireland's Brendan Dolan 8-4 in the final.

Aspinall averaged 93.2 as he overcame a below-par Van Gerwen 6-1 in the quarter-finals.

A 105.5 average then helped Aspinall ease past Dutchman Danny Noppert 7-3 in the last four, before taking out a high checkout of 136 in the final.

Dolan had thrashed James Wade 7-1 in the last four and, although he established a 4-2 lead in the final, Aspinall then reeled off six successive legs to take the title.

Lisa Ashton reached the second round before losing 6-5 to Andrew Gilding.
