Cross ahead of clash with Van Barneveld: 'I'm going to have to be on my game'

Rob Cross will face Raymond van Barneveld tonight in the next round of Premier League fixtures emanating from Manchester. He can secure his spot in the play-offs with a victory tonight over the Dutch legend.

It has been a brilliant rise up the table for 'Voltage' who lost his first few games of his Premier League campaign. Cross is confident of recording five wins in five over 'Barney' though. "Barney's brilliant and I'm going to have to be on my game," said Cross. “The next three games are big games and I'm going to have to put a few more points on to qualify, but I'm feeling good. "It's exciting times and for a debutant I don't think I've handled it too badly."
