Barneveld on target with fourth title win

Raymond van Barneveld won the Lakeside World Championship for the fourth time tonight with a clinical 6-2 victory over his close friend Martin Adams in Frimley Green.

The top seed, roared on by a large Dutch following including Chelsea winger Arjen Robben, missed seven doubles to take the first set but then struck a rich vein of form to put the outcome beyond any real doubt.
