NewsThursday, 09 May 2019 at 20:30
Rob Cross is only one victory away from winning the league phase in the Premier League Darts. 'Voltage' claimed a convincing 8-4 victory over Mensur Suljovic during the penultimate round in Sheffield.
The 2018 World Champion started brilliantly as he claimed the first three legs while averaging 116 with four 180's. Three of those maximum scores were in three consecutive scoring visits.
Suljovic won his first leg in the fourth leg as he took 25 and two legs later he hit double top to make 2-4. In the seventh leg 'The Gentle' left double 20, but was deprived a chance as Cross hit a 126 finish to keep his three-leg lead.
The world number two hit a 15-darter in the tenth leg to move 7-3 ahead, before Suljovic grabbed his fourth leg with a nice 124 check-out. It was only a postponement of execution as Cross hit double 4 in the 12th leg to claim his tenth victory in the competition and secure his place in the play-offs.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
