Taylor beats Wade in Belfast
PHIL TAYLOR returned to top form in condemning reigning Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts champion James Wade to a third successive defeat this season with an 8-2 triumph in Belfast.
Wade's slow start to the 2010 season continued with another below-par display, as he failed to match Taylor's impressive scoring as the World Champion piled in six maximums and a 104 average.
Taylor's display saw him warm up in style for a clash against old rival Raymond van Barneveld in Exeter next week and show that he is approaching his best after overcoming a recent virus.
Opening scores of 140 and 180 from Taylor helped him to the first leg before he hit another maximum and double 16 to break Wade immediately.
He hit another 180 in the third, as double 16 put him 3-0 up, before Wade punished four missed doubles in the next to get off the mark on double ten.
Wade kicked off the fifth with a maximum of his own, but Taylor took out 71 to regain his three-leg cushion.
Wade produced his best leg of the game with a 12-darter in pulling back to 4-2, hitting a 180 which he followed up in style with a 128 bullseye checkout.
Taylor, though, found another gear after the break to leave Wade trailing, hitting 180s in successive legs in taking a 6-2 lead, double eight for a seventh leg and then tops to wrap up a comprehensive triumph.
"
I'm over the moon to have won three from three," said unbeaten Taylor. "I'm enjoying it and feel like I'm getting back to my best after the virus I had at the start of the season.
"I'm not 100 percent yet but James didn't play as well as he can and at times I was waiting for him to kick in.
I played steady and where I was hitting 90-odd averages I'm getting up now to 100-odd averages."

Bournemouth blow for Wade
MERVYN KING maintained his winning start to the 2010 Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts with an 8-4 defeat of James Wade in Bournemouth.
King avenged his loss to the left-hander in last year's Premier League Darts final at the Wembley Arena with a clinical display, taking out eight from 13 attempts at a double in the contest.
Wade landed a 180 in winning the first leg and took out 76 for a 2-0 cushion, but missed doubles in the third allowed King in and set the pattern for the remainder of the contest.
King took out 101 to win the fourth leg and level, before stepping in after further misses from Wade to in the next three legs to lead 5-2.
A sparking 11-dart finish saw King assume a 6-2 cushion, but Wade hit scores of 180 and 171 in a 14-darter to claim his third leg of the game.
King ensured a minimum of a draw with a 120 'Shanghai' finish, and though Wade won the 11th leg the Norfolk man was swift in wrapping up victory on double 16.
"James missed a lot of doubles and it was unlike him," said King. "That wasn't the real James Wade and he let me in leg after leg after leg, but I took my chances and am grateful I got them.
"If James had hit his doubles I'd have been history because I wasn't scoring as well as I can, but I'll take any wins I can get and hopefully I can carry that on in Belfast next week."

O2 Opener ends in defeat for James Wade
DUTCH star Raymond van Barneveld condemned reigning champion James Wade to defeat on the opening night of the 2010 Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts.
Van Barneveld avenged his semi-final loss to the left-hander last season with an assured display at The O2 in London, returning to action for the first time since the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship.
Wade edged the early stages to lead 3-2, but a mid-game surge from van Barneveld saw him win four successive legs in taking a vital 6-3 cushion.
Perhaps inspired by a 180 in opening the sixth leg, he landed double ten to break throw and returned from the break to land double top and lead 4-3.
Wade then hit 180s in the next two legs, but failed to close out the eighth as double 16 allowed van Barneveld to step in, and an 11-darter from the Dutchman, including a maximum of his own, gave him a three-leg advantage.
Van Barneveld then opened the tenth leg superbly, with scores of 140, 180 and 145 leaving him 36 after nine darts - only for five missed doubles to allow Wade to land a maximum and double top to steal the leg.
Wade then missed his chance to pull back another leg when, following another 180, he was off-target on double top for a 120 finish, with double 16 ensured a minimum of a draw for van Barneveld.
Tops gave Wade hope of snatching a point, but he missed a dart at the same bed in the 13th leg, and van Barneveld posted double four to ensure the win.
"I'm very happy with the win and pleased with the performance but I know I'll improve as this tournament goes on," said van Barneveld. "I'm working hard on my fitness at the moment and am back practising well too, and that showed a bit.
"The O2 Arena is an incredible place to play darts and the level I want to perform at. It's a superb venue and I can't wait to play the next three months in arenas like this."
Wade admitted: "I started well but didn't keep up the pressure on Raymond, and it's disappointing. But there are another 13 games remaining and I've plenty of chances to put it right."
