29 July 2000 - FINALPhil Taylor beat Alan Warriner - 18 - 12
The only PDC title to have eluded the eight times World Champion, Phil Taylor for the past two years, was handed over tonight. The Stan James World Matchplay was last won by Taylor in 1997 when he beat Alan Warriner in the final and it was "The Ice Man" who once again faced the power of Taylor on the stage at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
Taylor opened the match with an impressive 11 darter against his throw and it was the start of a match that saw Taylor score 9 180's, two ten-darters, two eleven dart legs and all but five were 16 darts and under.
In the second leg, Warriner capitalised on Taylor missing double 10 and took the second leg to equalise the opening score. Warriner took the fifth leg to lead for the only time in the match before Phil took the game to an even higher level with his second 10 dart leg and a lead of 5 - 3.
By the thirteenth leg, both Taylor and Warriner had scored 6 180's each and Taylor was sitting on an 111 three dart average but despite a spirited comeback from Warriner to trail just 7 - 10, the elusive trophy was in Taylor's sights.
At 14 - 8 down Taylor missed 9 darts at double 10 to hand the leg to Warriner, but the pressure was obviously too much for the Lancastrian and he himself failed to finish with nine darts at a 5.
Out of the final five legs, only two went to "The Power", but that was all he needed to take the match and the title 18 - 12.
Speaking after the match, Taylor said, "This win means so much to me, but it was hard to get. Alan played superbly but I found it so tough to keep up the pressure. I can't keep going on like this, perhaps another three or four years, it is getting too hard. The new players coming through are better than ever before."
Warriner said that after matches such as these it made him all the more determined to improve his game. "I might start practicing now as I am the only player who doesn't - I have to work as a living [as a psychiatric nurse]. This match was all to do with being strong in the mind, Bristow had it in the 1980's and Taylor has it now. I really dug in deep both in the semis and in the finals - but there is more to come. This is the beginning of the Ice Age."
Taylor collected the Matchplay trophy for the third time and a cheque for £14,000.
23 July 2000, Semi Final
Phil Taylor (1) beat Richie Burnett - 17 - 9
- Alan Warriner (6) beat Ronnie Baxter - 17 - 6
Phil 'The Power' Taylor will meet Alan Warriner in the final of the Stan James World Matchplay in Blackpool tomorrow in a repeat performance of the 1997 Matchplay final, after eventually overcoming a brave challenge from Welshman Richie Burnett in tonight's first semi-final.
While the 17-9 scoreline may sound like a stroll for Taylor, Burnett pushed the eight times World Champion's game to the limit and pressured him to hit top scores and finish cleanly in all legs. Taylor made a slow start to the match as Burnett set up an early 4 - 1 lead, but he eventually lifted his game to finish with a three-dart average of 102 and set up a meeting with the sixth seed Alan Warriner.
Burnett, 'The Prince of Wales' cruised into a 4-1 lead thanks to a mixture of some excellent scoring and poor Taylor finishing. But, the world number 1 stepped up a level and his scoring average increased as he won four of the next five legs to level the match at 5-5. The challenge was well and truly on now and the players traded legs to take the score to 8-7 in Taylor's advantage.
But, the world's best player surged ahead winning five of the next six legs with a 123 checkout in the 21st leg to lead 13-8.
Burnett was playing well - he threw nine 180s in all - but Taylor was moving into a level of performance that has put him in a class of his own during the last eight years at the top of the sport.
The Welshman won just one more leg in the match as Taylor finished the match with a 130 out-shot in the penultimate leg for good measure.
Taylor admitted he was happy to have had a tougher workout before tomorrow night's final after breezing through his first three games.
He said: "I could have done with a tough game in the first or second round - that was my hardest game of the tournament. The way Richie started, I thought I was going to have to do a nine-darter to win a leg. I've just got one more to go and maybe I could be taking that trophy home with me to Stoke-on-Trent."
Taylor's three dart average was 102.15 and Burnett's was 97.08.
Alan Warriner played some of the best darts of his career in the second semi-final match of the evening against fellow Lancastrian, Ronnie Baxter. Baxter, finalist here in Blackpool two years ago, put up a spirited comeback after Warriner had won nine consecutive legs in a row to lead 10 - 2, however the "Ice Man" froze his opponent out, losing just five other legs to take the match 17 - 6.
Baxter did not register a three dart maximum throughout the match as Warriner tactically slowed Baxter's game down, throwing him off balance and taking a stranglehold on the game.
Speaking after the match, Warriner said, "I feel I could go ten rounds with Mike Tyson. I was so psyched up for the match and my concentration was spot on. Phil knows he has a hard game tomorrow. I am pleased with the result, but more so, with my performance over the week."
Warriner's three dart average was 97.87 and Baxter's was 90.44.
The final of the Stan James World Matchplay starts at 7pm on Saturday night.
26 July 2000, Quarter Final
Ronnie Baxter beat Steve Brown 16 - 5
- Alan Warriner beat Alex Roy 16 - 10
Number 3 seed Alan Warriner ended the tournament hopes of 26 year old Alex Roy in the Quarter Final of the Stan James World Matchplay. Roy was called up to take the 32nd place in the tournament after American Paul Lim dropped out after experiencing immigration difficulties in the US.
Warriner set up an early 3 - 0 lead in the first quarter-final match of the tournament, but Roy fought back, winning four legs in a row to lead "The Ice Man" 4 - 3. The next three legs went to Warriner, then three to Roy before Warriner stepped up the pace and won three more to lead 9 - 7.
Roy, however, kept the pressure on Warriner, taking advantage of missed doubles, however only three more legs went to "The Ace of Herts" before Warriner won five legs in a row to take the match 16 - 10.
Warriner's three dart average was 88.20 and Roy's was 80.60.
In convincing style, Ronnie Baxter knocked American Steve Brown out of the tournament to set up an all Lancastrian semi-final against Alan Warriner.
The match was one of the quickest so far due to the fast playing styles of both players. After setting up a tight 3 - 2 lead, Baxter went on to win 8 legs in a row before Brown could win two legs thanks to poor finishing by Baxter. Just one more leg went to Brown before Baxter took the match 16 - 5.
Baxter's three dart average was 91.66 and Brown's 86.48.
The first quarter-final of the evening session will be between eight times World Champion Phil Taylor and former World Champion John Lowe. Twice-defending Champion Rod Harrington will then face up to another former World Champion, Ritchie Burnett.
27 July 2000, Quarter Final
Phil Taylor (1) beat John Lowe 16 - 4
- Richie Burnett beat Rod Harrington (4) 16 - 13
Twice defending champion Rod Harrington crashed out the 2000 Stan James World Matchplay following an outstanding performance by his opponent, former World Champion Richie Burnett. The two professional players gave the capacity crowd at the Winter Gardens a formidable display of agonisingly tense play as they edged towards the coveted semi-final place.
Harrington was the first to set up a lead to move 3 - 1 up, but Burnett clawed his way back into the game and, taking advantage of Harrington missing key finishes, went ahead to lead 4 - 3. An 11 dart finish in the 11th started Rod on a run taking three legs in a row, however Burnett won the next five, with Rod missing every chance given to him to level and score and he trailed 6 - 9.
Burnett extended his lead to 11 - 7 when Harrington started to return to his recent form which won him the World Matchplay title for the last two years. With Harrington trailing 9 - 12 Burnett gave his opponent every opportunity to get back into the game, however all Burnett required was one more leg, which he took in the 24th leg to win 13 - 11.
Speaking after the match, Burnett, ranked number 28 in the World said, "A few times, I thought I was going to lose it however I was determined not to let him dominate. Rod's a tough player and every time I looked up at the board there was a treble 20 there."
Burnett has had three tough games to reach his semi-final place defeating Les Fitton 10 - 7 in the first round having trailed 4 - 0 at the start. In the second round Burnett beat number 4 seed, Dennis Priestley 14 - 12 in the best of 25 leg match.
"I haven't felt this good since I was World Champion and I am looking forward to my match with Phil Taylor. It will be a pleasure to get up on stage and play him. I'll just take each game as it comes and I won't be in awe of him," promised Burnett.
Eight times World Champion, Phil Taylor, demolished former World Champion John Lowe in the first match of the evening in the largest ever win in the tournament's quarter final history.
Despite not playing to the best of his natural ability, Phil Taylor won the first six legs in a row before Lowe could take two legs, capitalising on his opponent's sudden lack of form. A comeback it wasn't to be, the next four legs went to Taylor, the fifth to Lowe, thanks to Taylor busting his score and leaving him with just six on the board as Lowe checked out with any easy double top. Five more legs to the eight times World Champion and despite a final leg for Lowe, the tournament was over for him. Taylor took the final leg with a 116 checkout and the match 16 - 4.
Taylor's three dart average was 95.93 and Lowe's 83.53.
The first semi-final match tomorrow night at 7pm will see Phil Taylor take on Burnett and following immediately afterwards Lancastrians Ronnie Baxter and Alan Warriner step up to the oche.
26 July 2000, Round 2
Ronnie Baxter beat Denis Ovens 13 - 3
- Alan Warriner beat Mick Manning 13 - 8
- Alex Roy beat Shayne Burgess (3) 18 - 16
Alex Roy, the Wild card entry to the 2000 Stan James World Matchplay has knocked out the number 3 seed, Shayne Burgess in a dazzling display of grit and determination. Roy received the call-up just 48 hours before the tournament was to commence to take the place of American Paul Lim who pulled out following immigration difficulties. No-one, including himself, would have anticipated he would have a place in the quarter-final.
Before the match, Roy said that he didn't expect to win even one leg against "The Bulldog" from Hastings, Shayne Burgess. Roy, just 25 years old, started the match aggressively setting up an impressive 6 - 2 lead before Burgess settled into his stride and with consistent finishing and high scores, including an attempt at a nine dart finish in the 10th, levelled the score 6 all.
As the game progressed, the scoring style by the two players could not be separated. When one scored badly the other did and the game inched along in an agonising fashion for the capacity crowds at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. In the 20th leg Roy attempted a nine-dart finish himself, but the eighth dart missed the spot and the additional £25,000 in prize money eluded him. Despite his obvious disappointment, the miss did not throw the young man from Watford, and he took the leg to lead Burgess 11 - 9.
At 13 all, the best of 25 leg match went into a tie-break situation with the winner requiring to be two legs ahead to take the match. In the 34th leg, Burgess missed double sixteen with four darts to level the match at 17 all and the match and quarter-final place was Roy's.
An obviously stunned Roy speaking after the match said that he could not believe the game tonight. "Someone wake me up, I must be dreaming. At 8 - 6 up I said to myself, I don't care if I don't win another leg, I have made my mark here, but I kept on edging back into the match and Shayne couldn't shake me off. As the match went one way and then the other I knew that if I hung in there, I could do it and I did. I am amazed."
Roy will face the number 6 seed on Thursday afternoon, Alan Warriner who beat Mick Manning 13 - 8 in the afternoon session.
Roy's three dart average was 90.29 and Burgess's was 89.39.
The first match of the afternoon saw Lancastrian Ronnie Baxter move through to the quarter finals with a convincing dismissal of newcomer Denis Ovens in a 13 - 3 drubbing. Baxter, finalist here two years ago, in his typical fast and un-relenting playing style consistently hit the top scores to book himself in against American Steve Brown. Two of the three legs he dropped were due to careless missed doubles when he had the chance to win the leg, but unassuming Ovens, slipped in to leave the tournament with some respectability.
Baxter's three dart average was 94.27 and Ovens' was 88.09.
The remaining match of the afternoon was between number 6 seed, Alan Warriner and Mick Manning, from Letchworth, Herts. The match opened with the first six legs going against the throw, before Warriner took charge of the situation and moved into a narrow 5 - 3 lead. Manning fought back and levelled the score in the tenth leg, however Warriner took advantage of missed doubles and moved onto an 8 - 5 lead.
As Manning's head and shoulders visibly drooped, his game also slipped. Warriner pushed the World Ranked number 13 into forced errors and dropped just three more legs before he took the match 13 - 8.
Warriner's three dart average was 93.39 and Manning's was 89.84.
The first quarter-final match is on Thursday at 1pm when Baxter takes on Steve Brown, Warriner versus Roy immediately follows. The evening session opens with a display of vintage darts as John Lowe tries to knock out the number 1 seed and eight times World Champion Phil Taylor before the two times Matchplay champion Rod Harrington meets Welshman Ritchie Burnett.
23 July 2000, Round 2
Phil Taylor beat Nigel Justice 13 - 3
- John Lowe beat Chris Mason 13 - 11
Former World Champion John Lowe gave a vintage display of pressure darts at the 2000 Stan James World Matchplay knocking out Chris Mason in a surprise 13 - 11 defeat.
In the opening rounds of the match Mason dominated play with impressive high scores and clean finishes to set up an early lead 3 - 0. Lowe clawed back a leg, but Mason was racing towards the finish line 6 - 2 in the best of 25 leg match. However, Mason's head dropped and his inspiration left him and Lowe, taking advantage of Mason's lack of finish finesse took the next three legs to narrow Mason's lead to just 6 - 5. The next six legs were traded three apiece before John took another two on the trot to settle the score at 11 - 9.
Helped by a 116 checkout in the penultimate leg, Lowe saw the end in sight and the match and place in the quarter final was his 13 - 11.
Lowe, who will face eight times World Champion Phil Taylor, on Thursday in the Quarter Final said of the impending match, "Taylor is not going to walk all over me". When questioned whether he could beat Taylor, without hesitating he replied with a determined, "Yes I can."
Earlier in the evening, Taylor knocked out Nigel "Slow Hand" Justice in the opening second round match by an easy 13 - 3. Justice, making a comeback to the sport following an industrial injury which nearly severed his playing hand, had surprised the bookies with his first round defeat of Colin Lloyd. Taylor, however, powered his way through the match setting up an early 7 - 0 lead and sacrificing just three legs on his way to the quarter-final showdown.
25 July 2000, Round 1
Shayne Burgess (3) beat Martin Adams 15 - 13
The final Round 1 match of the 2000 Stan James World Matchplay saw an epic performance by two of the best professional darts players in the World. Shayne "The Bulldog" Burgess, seeded number 3 for this tournament and Martin Adams the Captain of the England darts team both had everything to prove.
The longest match so far in the tournament saw the match tie at 9 all and the players moved into a tie-break situation when the winner must be two legs ahead. The tension mounted throughout the capacity crowd at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool as the players crept forward each winning their throw until the match was tied again at 12 all. Adams was the first to lose his darts, but broke back immediately taking Shayne's in reply. Burgess, finalist at the PDC World Grand Prix last year, hit a 121 check-out against the darts to give him the confidence to take the final leg and the match 15 - 13.
Speaking after the game, Burgess commented on what he described as the most 'fantastic' game of darts. "I knew that it would never be easy and it is a shame that one of us had to lose. The luck, or not, of the draw. Martin is an excellent player and when I lost the plot in the middle of the match I thought that it was all over. I had to claw my way back inch by inch as Martin barely gave me a look in. I am so glad it is all over."
Burgess will meet Alex Roy in the second round on Wednesday night, the replacement for American Paul Lim who was unable to attend due to immigration difficulties.
25 July 2000, Round 1
Dennis Smith beat John Part (7) Canada 10 - 8
- Alan Warriner (6) beat Reg Harding 10 - 8
- Alex Roy beat Peter Evison 10 - 4
- Ritchie Burnett - Wales beat Les Fitton 10 - 7
Alex Roy thanked his lucky stars at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool today, as he knocked out former World Matchplay champion Peter Evison in a dazzling display of confidence and effortless darts.
Roy was called up on Thursday of last week to play in this prestigious tournament after American Paul Lim was forced to give up his place due to US immigration difficulties. Roy, ranked number 33 in the World, in this World top 32 field, stepped up to the oche to face Evison, the World number 9.
Evison set an early 2 - 0 lead with an impressive 158 checkout, but Roy immediately retaliated winning the next 7 legs in a row. Evison took the tenth leg but Roy was determined to move through to the second round and checked out the 11th leg with a top scoring 170 finish, the highest of the tournament so far. The two players traded the next four legs but Roy was too far ahead for Evison and Alex Roy took the match 10 - 5.
Speaking after the game Roy said, "I played the best performance of my life today, I took chances and they paid off. When I moved 3 - 2 up as we went into the first break [for Sky TV], I kept saying to myself 'keep going' and I did. I am determined to make full use of my place in the tournament and go all the way to the final."
Roy will have a tough second round match against the winner of the first match this evening. Shayne "The Bulldog" Burgess, seeded at number 3 for this tournament will take on the England Darts Captain, Martin Adams at 7pm.
Roy's three dart average was 85.71 and Evison's was 83.96.
There was another shock defeat this afternoon as the number 7 seed crashed out of the tournament to unseeded Dennis Smith. Despite setting up an early lead with excellent and consistent finishing, former World Champion John Part lost his finishing finesse and Smith grabbed the advantage and took the final three legs in a row to win 10 - 8.
Smith's three dart average was 86.54 and Part's was 93.57.
Alan Warriner stared defeat in the eye in the first match against grandfather Reg Harding. Harding, who reputedly plays with darts bought from a car boot sale 20 years ago, raced into a 6 - 2 lead before Warriner, seeded number 6 for this tournament, stepped up the pace to lead with a narrow 1 leg margin at 7 - 6. At eight all, Warriner won his leg and broke Harding's darts with an impressive 114 check-out to take the match 10 - 8.
Warriner's three dart average was 92.09 and Harding's was 83.69.
Final pair up to the oche was former World Champion Ritchie Burnett against Les Fitton ranked number 30 in the World.
Fitton set up a remarkable 6 - 1 against the Welshman who clawed back four sets to trail just 5 - 6. Fitton won the 12th leg, but Burnett was determined to win the match and took the final 5 legs in a row to win 10 - 7.
Burnett said of the match, "The first battle up there on stage was against myself and I had to be patient. Patience was the name of the game and as I wasn't even playing badly it was frustrating. One I started scoring well, they all started to go in and I knew that I could win the match."
Fitton's three dart average was 83.22 and Burnett's was 86.69.
24 July 2000
Round 1
- John Lowe beat Keith Deller 10 - 7
- Ronnie Baxter beat Peter Manley (2) 10 - 6
- Phil Taylor beat Jamie Harvey 10 - 2
Number 2 seed Peter Manley was dismissed in convincing style at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool this evening by local player Ronnie Baxter. Baxter, ranked number ten for this tournament set up a 6 - 0 lead despite Manley hitting the high scores. Manley looked to be staging a come back when he won three legs in a row before the pair traded legs to settle the score at 8 - 4 to Baxter. Manley, dubbed "One Dart" by his fans, didn't live up to his name, requiring two darts to finish the next two legs to trail just 6 - 8, but Baxter was determined to improve on his first round defeat by Phil "The Power" Taylor in last year's tournament. The final two legs went to Baxter to win 10 - 6.
Baxter's three dart average was 94.65 and Manley's was 90.86.
Two former World Champions faced each other across the oche in the first match this evening. Keith Deller, World Champion in 1983 and three times World Champion, John Lowe, last met at the Skol World Championship at Christmas in the second round when Lowe beat Deller 3 - 2 in sets. Both were set for a fight to the end. The first ten legs were traded, five apiece, without either player breaking his opponents darts. In the eleventh leg, Lowe took advantage of Deller's lack of high scores to take the next three legs and lead 8 - 5. All Lowe was required to do was hold his darts which he did, to take the match 10 - 7.
Lowe's three dart average was 81.24 and Deller's was 80.47.
The third match of the evening was dubbed "Mission Impossible" for Jamie Harvey by Sky Sports Commentator, Sid Waddell as he stepped up to the oche to face eight times World Champion, Phil "The Power" Taylor. 180 was the first score on the board for Harvey and despite winning the first and third legs, he was left trailing in the wake of the Stoke-on-Trent Champion. Taylor won the next nine legs in a row to finish the tournament as the first player to score over 100 for a three dart average in the tournament so far.
Harvey's three dart average was 88.71 and Taylor's was 101.03.
The final match of the evening saw twice-defending Champion, Rod Harrington face Dutchman, Roland Scholten in a tense match fought to the bitter end.
As Harrington sweated under the intense heat on stage Scholten kept him, and the second round match against Bob Anderson in sight, replying to every high score thrown at him. At nine-all the match entered a tie-break situation with the first player to lead by two legs taking the match.
Harrington, dressed in his customary waistcoat and tie powered his way into the second round, winning the final two legs and the match 11 - 9.
Harrington's three dart average was 87.65 and Scholten's was 84.65.
The remaining first round matches will commence on Tuesday 25 July at 1pm with the final five matches before the second round games begin.

Chris Mason eased his way into the second round of the 2000 Stan James World Matchplay at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool dismissing Canadian Gary Mawson 10 - 4. Mason set up a comfortable lead at 5 - 1 before Mawson took advantage of "The Ace" missing three darts at double eight to take the leg and trail 2 - 5. The next four legs went to Mason as the Canadian attempted a comeback winning the next two legs, but Mason could see the end in sight and closed the match 10 - 4. Mason's three dart average was 84.39 and Mawson's was 76.86.
Dennis "The Menace" Priestley was the second winner of the afternoon with what looked to be an effortless win over Steve Raw. Priestley opened the match with a 128 checkout and dominated play throughout. It was only in the penultimate leg that Raw saw an opening and took advantage of Priestley leaving 10 on the board and took his one and only leg of the match. Dennis closed the game in the 11th leg with a double top checkout. Dennis' three dart average was 90.68 and Steve's was 80.22.
It was an afternoon of clear wins as Bob Anderson matched Dennis' dismissal of Steve Raw with a 10 - 1 win over Geordie Graeme Stoddart. Despite poor finishing by Anderson, who often missed the doubles required to finish the leg, Anderson was soon ahead with a 7 - 1 lead. Stoddart took the eighth leg with a single dart, double eight finish but Anderson cleared the final three to win the match 10 - 1. Stoddart's three dart average was 75.73 and Anderson's was 86.63.
The final match of the afternoon saw two newcomers to the PDC stage, "Diamond" Dave Askew against Denis Ovens of Stevenage..

23 July 2000
Round 1
- Nigel Justice beat Colin Lloyd 10 - 7
- Steve Brown beat John Ferrell 10 - 2
- Mick Manning beat Andy Jenkins 15 - 13
Nigel Justice of Slough, Berkshire, opened the millennium Stan James World Matchplay with a cool win over Colin Lloyd. Lloyd, the favourite going into the match, fought back after Justice had set up a comfortable 4 - 1 lead to trail just 3 - 4 with a bull-finish. The two professional players battled it out for the next seven legs to even the game at seven all.
Lloyd, dubbed "The Jaws" for his sharp and attacking playing style was determined to improve on his quarter-final defeat last year by Peter Manley, however the doubles and trebles eluded him in the last three legs to hand the match to Justice 10 - 7. Lloyd's three dart average was 87.95 and Justice's was 84.34.
Next up to the oche was American Steve Brown against "The Joker" John Ferrell from Godstone in Surrey. Brown dominated throughout the match setting up an initial 5 - 0 lead with treble after treble hitting the spot and quickly finishing the match 10 - 2. Brown is determined to reach the quarter-finals this year after his second round epic defeat by Chris Mason 13 - 11.
The final pair to step up to the prestigious oche was World Ranked number 13, Mick Manning against Andy Jenkins at number 16. Jenkins last appeared at a PDC tournament in 1998 at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool when he narrowly lost in the first round 14 - 12 to eventual losing finalist Ronnie Baxter. Manning faired slightly better with a second round defeat, however he was trounced by an on-form Shayne Burgess 13 - 1. Both players were determined to put the losses behind them and the game was played out to the bitter end.
At 9 - 6, it looked to be curtains for Manning, but with an impressive display of finishes he levelled the score at 9 all to start a tie-break situation.
The two players, under temperatures on stage reaching the 100's, traded legs until Manning, taking advantage of Jenkins losing his opening darts, won the match 15 - 13 winning three legs in a row.
Manning's three dart average was 83.76 and Jenkins' 87.92.
