After success locally, Chisnall then moved onto the latest PDC Players’ Championship events in Wigan with a double header taking place at the Robin Park Leisure Centre on Saturday and Sunday.

On day one the Morecambe ace reached the last 16 before a 6-4 defeat to eventual champion Steve Beaton.

Chisnall had seen off Mick Todd, 6-0, James Richardson, 6-1, and Matt Clark 6-3, in the earlier rounds.

Beaton rolled back the years to claim a third PDC ProTour win as he defeated Gary Anderson 6-3 in the final.

It was a disappointing day for Chisnall who was knocked out in the last 64 6-5 by Jimmy Hendriks.

He had beaten Stuart Kellett 6-5 in round one.
