There will be a new winner on the PDC tour shortly with Nathan Aspinall and Ryan Searle set to contest the final of Players Championship 18 at the Barnsley Metrodome.
Both had to do it the hard way with last leg shootouts in both semi-final clashes. Aspinall saw off Ian White mounting a comeback and surviving six match darts to win through to his first final. The emotion on his face afterwards showed exactly what it meant to him.
Searle is back in form and claimed the Champion of Champions, a News of the World type event ran by Red Dragon in Cardiff a few weeks back. He defeated another unseeded player in Ron Meulenkamp. ’The Bomb’ was left on 60 in the final leg but missed match darts giving Searle the chance to pounce with his last dart in hand.
