Limbert (20) pulled a leg back before Atkinson regained his three leg advantage with another twenty dart leg. Limbert then closed in 18 darts to reduce the deficit only to see Atkinson take a further three legs on the bounce with 19, 20 and 17 darts and win the title 7-2, where Atkinson won six of his seven legs closing the game on forty.
