Wayne Jones is in the money on PDC tour
Two second round runs for Wolverhampton's Wayne Jones saw him bank £500 from the latest PDC Players Championship events.
Three days of darts at the Barnsley Metrodome began on Friday and ended yesterday with the third and final tournament,
Jones did not earn in yesterday's competition, missing the money stages with a 6-4 defeat to former BDO world champion Ronnie Baxter in the first round.
But 'the Wanderer' had got past the first hurdle on Friday and Saturday, first toeing the oche for a close contest with Irishman Mickey Mansell.
They were locked at 5-5 going into the 11th and final leg where Jones managed to come out on top earning himself, at least, £250 in the process.
He again had his moments against Austrian thrower Mensur Suljovic but he fell away towards the end on that occasion, conceding defeat 6-4.
He returned to the venue on Saturday to take on PDC newcomer Alan Norris for another 6-4 scoreline, this time the result going his way.
Another last leg battle ensued with Dutchman Benito van de Pas, who snuck past the Wednesfield darter 6-5 to progress to the third round.
Two-time PDC champion Adrian Lewis won Friday and Sunday's tournament, with world No 1 Michael van Gerwen prevailing on Saturday.
Jones sits 36th on the Order of Merit with exactly £64,000 of prize winnings, but 52nd in the Pro Tour standings with £8,500 so far in 2015.
