Price wins last leg thriller against Hogan as Cadby & West among other winners
NewsSaturday, 03 March 2018 at 21:18
Gerwyn Price had to come from behind to defeat a tricky opponent in the Riley’s Qualifier Paul Hogan. He defeated the West Midlands man in a last leg decider.
Price faced Hogan last year but had more trouble this time albeit while throwing some sublime darts. This included missing D12 for a 9-darter at 6-3 down.
Price hit a 101.4 average, ten 180’s, a 160 checkout and 55% on the doubles in his victory.
Corey Cadby is also through winning 10-7 as ‘The King’ goes one step closer to becoming the King in Minehead. He had to come from behind to beat Chris Dobey though but still came through.
There was a shock as Steve West defeated Michael Smith. West gets into his first PDC quarter-final at the expense of Smith who was a lot of people’s outside bet. West came out a 10-9 win.

- 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
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- 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
