ADRIAN LEWIS clinched his first ProTour title of the year as he produced a superb display to beat St Helens thrower Dave Chisnall 6-2 and win Players Championship Five at Arena MK in Milton Keynes.

Lewis kicked off the final with some audacious darts and landed a breath-taking 164 checkout to storm into a 2-0 lead.

He then moved three ahead before Chisnall got a foothold in the game.

Despite a spirited response, Chisnall was rarely in the final as the two-time World Champion produced some of his strongest darts.

A neat 122 checkout from Chisnall gave him a chink of light but he was unable to claw back against his Stoke counterpart, who missed double 12 for a nine-dart finish in what proved to be the final leg as he secured the £10,000 top prize.

Chisnall's run to the final saw him narrowly edge past Ritchie Edhouse 6-5 in the opening round, before seeing off Andy Jenkins and John Henderson to reach the last 16.

There he beat Mickey Mansell before whitewashing Mark Webster to reach the final four.

A dominant 6-3 victory over Alan Norris meant Chisnall booked his place in his first Players Championship final since the final event of 2016.
