Colin Osborne emerged as the Group Six winner of Championship League Darts, punishing opponent, Jelle Klaasen, in a 6-3 bout. He achieved victory after having tirelessly competed for the last three days in the live-streamed tournament. This enabled Osbourne to secure a spot in the winners’ group, which meets again in October.
The league phase witnessed Osborne on a winning streak with four straight wins, ending the day in overall second behind Klaasen and Wayne Jones, both of who were just one victory ahead having won five matches each. He then removed Jones from the competition with a 6-4 win and proceeded to corner first-timer, Klaasen, in the decider.
The 34-year-old ‘Wizard’ lost no time and immediately got down to business by distancing himself from Klaasen being up three legs to zero, one of which was the result of a 110 finish against the throw. However, Klaasen, refusing to back down, quickly countered with 134 and 130 finishes that brought him back into contention. Determined for a win, Osborne held his opponent at bay in the succeeding two legs by unleashing a double top and a 124 finish on the bull. Holding his own, Klaasen earned a third leg victory after a 96 finish, but Osborne landed a double five to win his sixth leg and a spot in the winners’ group in October.
