Colin Lloyd may have lost his bid for the 2010 Players Championship to surprise winner Paul Nicholson, but he is not coming home empty handed.
That's because Lloyd beat Wayne Jones with a 6-2 display in the finals of the StanJames.com Eddie Cox Memorial Trophy, a £6,000 tournament held in Gibraltar in the opening Players Championship of 2010.
"Jaws'" quest for the trophy started in a match with Dave Ahmet and Julian Sanchez, whom he both defeated while dropping just one leg, followed by a close call against Tony Eccles in a 6-5 show. Peter Wright faltered in the last 16.
The quarter-final round saw a showdown between two Colins as Colin Lloyd and Colin Osborne traded arrows in what turned out to be a 6-3 victory for Lloyd. Osborne earlier took down Andy Hamilton in a sudden death leg.
Mervyn King deprived Lloyd of two legs in their semi-finals match, but it was not enough to beat his 5-0 lead.
The King's run to the last four included a defeat of Jamie Caven, who earlier edged out Wes Newton in his trophy bid, and of world number seven Adrian Lewis.
Canadian John Part lost 6-4 to Marko Puls and is struggling to find his place among the sports' best after tumbling to world number 26 in the PDC rankings.
Other notable encounters were those of Germany's Jyhan Artut against Paul Nicholson, who crashed in his first match since winning the Players Championship finals over the weekend.
