Steve loses

Coventry born Darter Steve Beaton was knocked out of the Players Championship at the Circus Tavern.

Beaton, who was the fifth seed, went down to an 8-5 defeat to Paul Nicolson in a second round match this afternoon.



Speaking after the defeat, Beaton said to Planet Darts: "I didn't get into my rhythm but at four-all I thought I was in with a chance. The 104 finish was a killer and Paul deserved the win in the end."
