ROBYN Byrne has vowed to give it everything she's got after storming into the Modus Super Series finals night after a sensational run of four wins saw her win Group B on Friday night.
The Ireland captain showed just why she's one of the top ladies players on the planet by winning all her games to top the group.
Byrne began the night sitting two points outside the top three qualifying spots, and knowing that she needed to win her first game against third placed Trina Gulliver to stand any chance of progressing.
She picked up a crucial 3-1 win in that game to go level on points with Gulliver in the group, and then never looked back after that.
Another 3-1 win over Steph Clarke moved Byrne into the qualifying spots, but still with no room for error with just two points and leg difference separating the top four.
However Byrne made a huge step towards qualification in her next match against Gemma Hayter, when she produced the performance of the night with another 3-1 win, with with an 80.17 average that included a stunning 13 dart leg.
That win put Byrne in poll position to qualify for finals night for the first time in her career, and she made sure she did so as Group B winner by edging out England's Laura Turner 3-2 in her final game.
Speaking afterwards, Byrne said she was delighted to have finally made finals night at her third time of trying.
She said winning her opening game over Gulliver was crucial and she just powered on from there.
Robyn said:"I went in with a different attitude tonight.
"Every other time I've played here, in every session, I've lost the first game and tonight I wasn't going to let that happen.
"I feel like you're always chasing once you lose that first game."
However Robyn said once she got that opening win, things just began to fall into place for her.
She said: "When I won that first game, I felt like my finishing was good and I took my chances and that's what I did all night then.
"I'm happy to have finally made finals night at my third attempt and I've nothing to lose now and I'm just going to go out there and give it everything I've got."
Meanwhile , Byrne said this run at Modus will stand to her as she prepares to play in the PDC Workd Matchplay next month.
She added:"It's great as you're getting so many games in such a condensed amount of time and I think that's what I needed.
"I'm absolutely delighted I've come here now and to make finals night is even better."
