TERRY JENKINS produced a sensational finish to grab his second win of the 2007 Holsten Premier League Darts with an 8-5 defeat of Peter Manley.
Jenkins produced his best display in the tournament the previous week to draw with Raymond van Barneveld, and backed that up in style against Manley.
The former Las Vegas Desert Classic champion gave as good as he got during an exciting contest.
However, the Ledbury star took three in a row at the end of the tournament to surge into the top four of the event.
"I'm very pleased," said Jenkins. "When Adrian Lewis lost I knew it was my chance to get into the top four, and I'm working my way up the table.
"I think I've settled into the Premier League pretty steadily really and I'm very happy with the way I'm playing."
The first ten legs went with the throw, including a brilliant ten-darter from Jenkins in the third and a 118 finish from Manley to respond in leg four.
Manley also had six perfect darts in leg eight, and the pair were locked at five-all soon afterwards to leave the huge Sheffield crowd captivated.
Jenkins held his throw under pressure in the 11th leg, and finally broke Manley with three ton-plus scores and a pressure double top in the next.
A stunning 11-darter, comprising 100 and two 180s before a two-dart 41 finish, gave the SkyBet World Grand Prix finalist the victory and fourth place in the table.
"I finished on the legs I needed to and concentrated on my legs with the darts," he added.
Jenkins was due to play Colin Lloyd in Aberdeen last night (Thursday) and next Thursday lines up against Adrian Lewis.
