Daryl Gurney has continued his World Grand Prix title defence in style smashing Gary Anderson in a sensational straight sets victory for the Northern Irishman.

Anderson was one of the main favourites for the tournament but ‘Superchin’ dumped him out handing the pressure all on to Michael van Gerwen.
Gurney started off well hitting a 110 checkout after a 180 to kick off the leg while Anderson followed it up with a 121 checkout on the bull for one a piece.
Despite that though ‘Superchin’ would cruise ahead to take the first set 3-1 taking out 110 again with a 95 average and 3 out of 3 on his doubles.
In the next set it was another 3-1 for Gurney with him handing the impetus over to Anderson to match him and force him into a battle.
As the scoreline shows this is something which did not happen with Gurney coming through to take the tie including a brilliant 102 checkout in the final set.
