Players Championship 2, last 128: Dawson Murschell stuns Peter Wright
NewsSunday, 18 February 2018 at 14:08
Dawson Murschell picked up the biggest scalp of his burgeoning career at PC2 in Barnsley.
Canadian ace Murschell sent world number two Peter Wright crashing out with a 6-5 victory. He meets European Q-School graduate Mario Robbe in the last 64. Antonio Alcinas put in a fine performance to send Premier League frontrunner Michael Smith packing, winning 6-3. Raymond van Barneveld departed as well, as Jan Dekker struck double four to secure a 6-5 win. Dekker was unusually lax on his doubles, and missed a clutch of match darts before finally finishing Barney off. A fourth Premier League participant, Gerwyn Price, also fell at the first hurdle. Dimitri van den Bergh punished some poor finishing from the Iceman to prevail 6-2.
However, there was no stopping Michael van Gerwen, who crushed Steve Lennon 6-1. Daryl Gurney also went through, but needed all 11 legs to see off Alan Tabern. Bradley Brooks continued his fine start to life on the Pro Tour; the 17-year-old saw off Dave Chisnall. Mark Webster's atrocious form continued with a 6-4 loss at the hands of Nathan Aspinall. Across 64 matches, there was just one whitewash winner; the impressive Robert Owen thrashed Sven Groen.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
