RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD won his fifth Pro Tour title of 2007 with a 3-0 win over Alex Roy in the final of the Welsh Players Championship.

The World Champion looked back to his imperious best at the Newport Centre, erasing memories of his first round loss in the Bullit World Darts Trophy earlier this month with a classy showing.

He dropped just two legs in the final against Roy, and was never taken to a deciding set in his seven games throughout the tournament, Van Barneveld opened with 3-0 wins over Wayne Atwood and Matt Clark, and also swept past John MaGowan by the same scoreline in the last eight.

Dennis Smith, Vincent van der Voort and Wayne Mardle all took a set from the Dutchman, but could get no closer as he claimed his ninth tournament win of 2007 and fifth on the PDC Pro Tour.
