LEDBURY darts ace Terry Jenkins suffered two defeats in 24 hours at events in Scotland.
The Bull lost in the third round of the Scottish Players Championship on Saturday and fourth round of the Blue Square UK Open Scottish regional finals on Sunday.
Jenkins defeated Andrew Davies 6-0 and Alan Warriner-Little 6-3 on Saturday, before losing 6-3 to Tony Eccles.
On Sunday, he saw off Andy Fulton 6-1, Mick McGowan 6-0 and Andy Jenkins 6-2 but was beaten 6-4 by Lionel Sams in the last 16. Robert Thornton won both events.
But John Part claimed a second successive Whyte and Mackay Premier League Darts win with an 8-5 defeat of Jenkins at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena last Thursday.
The Canadian grabbed his first victory of the season a week ago and moved into fourth place in the league table with a strong display against win-less Jenkins.
Part claimed the game’s opening four legs to put himself in command with some strong finishing punishing missed doubles from Jenkins, who is now second from bottom in the table.
‘The Bull’ produced a superb 11-darter to get off the mark, landing his first 180 to spark a comeback, with an 83 check-out halving the deficit to 4-2 at the break.
Part took the next two, including a 14-darter, to regain his advantage before Jenkins again hit back, following up an 84 check-out with a 101 finish for a 15-darter.
A 76 check-out from the Canadian ensured he would win at least a point from 7-4 up but he missed double top to seal victory in the next as Jenkins took a fifth leg.
But Part was quick to close out the win, taking out 127 on double eight for the triumph.
Jenkins was due to face James Wade in the latest round of matches at Manchester MEN Arena last night.
