Daryl Gurney has defeated Peter Wright for the second week in a row. The Northern Irishman takes the final semi-final spot this evening.
Like last week, Gurney started on a rampage, taking the first 5 legs against the world number 2. In what is the pairs 7th televised meeting this year, that would ultimately seem pivotal. Then as if it was a script the pair must follow, Wright took the second mini-session 4-1. 6-4 Gurney at the second break. A carbon copy of last weeks match-up.
Wright would break the pattern to move just 1 behind at 6-5. However that was as close as the Scotsman got in front of his home crowd.
Gurney raced to a 9-5 lead. Impressive on his finishing under pressure from a booing crowd. He then missed darts to win the match in leg 15 and 16, before finally winning 10-7.
Gurney now faces Michael van Gerwen in tonight's second semi-final.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
