Gurney after picking up important point against Van Gerwen: ‘I don’t care who I’m playing - I never ever give up’

Daryl Gurney picked up a brilliant draw against Michael van Gerwen to continue his brilliant form in the Premier League. It was a game that was highlighted by a brilliant 156 checkout.

‘Superchin’ showed great nerve and bottle to stay with ‘Mighty Mike’ who showed ominous signs of pulling away after the first two legs. After the game Gurney said he never gives up and he is one of the best players in the world for a reason. “I knew I had to take something from the game and the 156 probably got me the point in the end," said Gurney. "I could see that Michael was nervous but I didn't throw enough in the last leg to get the two points. "To be 6-5 up and if Michael had a bad leg I could maybe have stolen the game, but he started off with a 180 and I knew then I was kindof in trouble. At that stage I knew I was probably going to get a point. "I don't care who I'm playing - I never ever give up. I'm one of the best players in the world for one reason, and it doesn't matter who I'm playing I won't give up or give them an easy game."
