Raymond van Barneveld put his UK open disappointment behind him and defeated Gerwyn Price 7-5 in game 2 of tonights Premier League.
The five time world champion still wasn't at his best as Leeds produced a second under par match up in two games. Barney and The Iceman traded breaks of throw to open the encounter, RvB getting on the board first in seven visits. Price's first leg was much better, the Welshman chalking up his first in a 13-dart leg.
Two more breaks followed before both men managed their first hold of throw. Price stepped up at that point to take the next 2 legs. Putting himself 5-3 up and just one leg away from another hard fought Premier League point. Barney had other plans though, and reeled off 4 successive legs to win the match 7-5.

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
