TERRY Jenkins will face former World Champion Phil Taylor tonight in the second round of the SINGHA Beer Grand Slam of Darts at Wolverhampton.

It will be a repeat of the 2008 final and Jenkins will continue his quest to the claim the £100,000 first prize.

Jenkins suffered a 5-4 defeat against World Grand Prix champion Robert Thornton in his final pool match but qualifies from Group G in second place.

Jenkins progressed ahead of Geert De Vos and Jonny Clayton on leg difference, despite the Belgian's 5-0 whitewash in his final group game.

Jenkins moved into a 4-2 lead with a 136 checkout as he secured his own progression, but was unable to claim a win which would have seen him top his group as five missed match darts were punished by Thornton as he took the final three legs.

"Terry was due a cracking game and he produced it, and I had to fight all the way to get the win and it's great to finish top," said Thornton.

Clayton had defeated Jenkins in their opener on Saturday, but the Welshman was denied a dart at a double by a superb performance from De Vos.
