Dobey wins in Rotterdam
Western Daily Press
|April 19, 2025
CHRIS Dobey came out on top as night 11 of the Premier League in Rotterdam turned into a battle of the bottom two.
Northumberland’s Dobey took a 6-2 final victory over Stephen Bunting, who had edged out Luke Littler 6-5 in the semi-finals.
After avoiding a scare to beat Rob Cross 6-5 in his opener, 18-year-old Littler recovered from 5-2 down to Bunting to level at 5-5, but it was the Liverpudlian who took the deciding leg.
