“I’m finally through at the fourth time of asking and it’s a big relief,” said the Middlesborough player, who has won £8,700 so far in the event. “I started off pretty well today, I was solid and got the points on the board early on and it was good just to get into the semi-finals. I played solidly against Wayne and also against Jelle in the final and I finished well.”
Osborne added, “I lost in the final on Wednesday and had to pick myself up again, but you can’t complain because you’re playing darts and have to get on with it. These are long days and it’s tough, but I’ve won one and it’s great. I get to rest now and just come back for the winners’ group!”
Joining him is debutante, Jones, who won five league matches to land a position in the winners’ group. Meanwhile, recent stanjames.com World Match play finalist, Terry Jenkins, lost his bid for fourth place by losing 6-1 and 6-0 to Adrian Lewis.
A semi-finals victory by Klaasen, however, ruined Lewis' chances of qualifying despite Lewis' early lead of 5-3. Denis Ovens and Mark Dudbridge bid farewell to the tournament after achieving just one victory on Tuesday, while Jenkins and Andy Smith will return for Group Seven on the 20th October.
