Welshman Jonny Clayton has taken victory in the final Players Championship event of the season.
Clayton became the 15th different winner on the floor this season in just 22 events on a day that wrapped up the non-televised darts of the season.
The Ferret as he is nicknamed began the day defeating Charismatic Canadian John Norman Jr. 6-3, before beating Terry Jenkins 6-4. The Bull appearing in just his second Pro Tour event of the year in order to save his World Championship qualification.
Yesterdays champion Rob Cross was dispatched in the board final, Clayton sealing that one 6-5. Further victories saw him progress to the final, Darren Webster, Antonio Alcinas and Jeffrey de Zwaan the opponents.
James Wilson was Clayton's final opponent. The Jammie Dodger was appearing in his second PDC final since moving over from the BDO. The pair traded the opening legs, with Wilson having more misfortune as his darts bounced out. Clayton then went on a rampage, taking out 3 ton plus finishes on his way to a 6-1 victory. A 121 on the bull for the match a particular highlight.
The pair will both be at the Players Championships in Minehead later this year after securing qualification today.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
