DartsLive Stage 2

SCOTT KIRCHNER won his second DARTSLIVE event of 2013 with triumph in Stage Two of DARTSLIVE - THE WORLD in Hong Kong.

Kirchner followed up March's win in the SUPER DARTS event by coming through the 128-player field of over 20 nationalities to win £8,500 in prize money.

American Kirchner, the number one seed for the event, defeated Singapore's legendary Paul Lim 3-0 in the final of the event, and also saw off Japanese soft darts star Mitsumasa Hoshino by the same scoreline in the semis.

"I am playing very well right now," said a delighted Kirchner. "I have been playing in tournaments for the past two months and have been finishing very well.

"My motivation was to win a stage of The World and I work hard everyday to achieve my goal. I cannot thank DARTSLIVE enough for giving us players the opportunity to play in these great events."

Lim, a former soft darts champion who returned to the PDC World Championship stage last December, also overcame Japanese opposition in the semis as he defeated Takehiro Suzuki.

DARTSLIVE - THE WORLD is the world's biggest soft-tip tournament, offering over £300,000 in prize money across eight stages and the Grand Final, which will be held on December 14-15 in Hong Kong and contested by the top 100 ranked players.

Stage Three will be held in La Rochelle, France on June 15-16, where a 256-player field will compete alongside over 7,000 players who will be contesting the DARTSLIVE French League Finals on the same weekend.
