THE 13-time PDC dart champion Phil "The Power" Taylor will be the star turn as the 2006 Holsten Premier League Darts returns to Blackburn.

The tournament will begin at the King George's Hall on Thursday, February 16 as the tournament returns for its second year.

Introduced last year, the event features seven of the world's best players and was a huge favourite as it travelled around the UK before the top four competed in the play-offs.

Taylor will be defending his title against stars Colin "Jaws" Lloyd, Roland "The Tripod" Scholten, Wayne "Hawaii 501" Mardle and Hynndburn man Ronnie Baxter with two further players to be announced later this month.

Tickets are £20 and £15 call the box office on 01254 582582 or Ticketmaster on 0870 606 3409.
