Kayden Milne and Ben Robb claimed their second titles of the year on the DartPlayers New Zealand ProTour, as Events Three and Four took place in Christchurch.
The DPNZ ProTour returned to action on March 21-22, as Milne and Robb doubled their tallies to reaffirm their duopoly on the rankings.
Milne followed his Event One success in February by claiming Event Three on Saturday, downing Jack Sheppard 7-3 in the showpiece.
The 25-year-old won all four of his group stage matches before squeezing through two last-leg deciders against Jamie Hamill and Josh Roberts to reach the last 16.
Milne then recorded his best average of the day of 91.21 with a 4-1 triumph over Sam Nathan, before being pushed to another deciding-leg win against Frank Bush.
The Kiwi then saw off fellow winner Robb 6-4 in the semi-finals, before defeating Sheppard to earn his second title in three events.
However, Robb returned to winning ways in Event Four on Sunday, edging past Mark Cleaver 7-5 in the final.
Robb – who has appeared five times at the World Darts Championship – won all four of his group stage games, before whitewashing Nick Brown with a fantastic 96.97 average.
The 37-year-old then downed Daniel Hales and Josh Walters to set up another semi-final clash with Milne, enacting revenge with a dominant 6-1 win to reach the final and see off Cleaver to claim Event Four glory.
Robb resultantly pipped Milne to first place in the rankings after four events, with Event Two runner up Jonny Tata in third followed by Cleaver and Haupai Puha.
