Smith 'trying to fight and win every match' as he claims another win over Price
NewsFriday, 30 March 2018 at 14:02
Michael Smith was back to winning ways making it 6 out of 8 in this years' Premier League. He defeated Gerwyn Price 7-2 last night to not only to claim 2 points but condemn the Welshman to elimination before next week's Judgement Night.
The St Helens ace's victory included a brilliant 160 checkout in a performance that gleamed a 93.8 average. Smith spoke after his victory and admitted he is trying to win every match he can as he is playing well but not producing his best on the stage.
He also said about his opponent and not wanting to watch him due to him being under huge pressure to stay alive in the competition.
"I was trying not to watch Gerwyn because I knew he was under pressure." said the former World Youth Champion.
"I'm trying to fight and win every match that I can, because I'm playing well away from the Premier League and not producing it on that stage at the moment."

- can you not at least attempt to proof read these recaps? the whitlock scutt one in particular is both inaccurate and mindbogglingly unreadablecolt16-12-2025
- Look, everyone knows he likes to wind up his opponents. Today,his worst,and always will be,best opponent,is himself. I don't dislike the bloke,but he can only blame himself.rick6715-12-2025

- DRA - just a warning please. Obviously not deliberate, in good spirits a s immediate apology. (P.s. Good on you Joe! Tough season, hope you keep that standard into the next round and beyond)BandB14-12-2025
- This bozo says he can't take darts any further and he's left it in a good place.....no-one cares about this nobody. The PDC was always in a good place before he came along. Does this buffon think the crowd are there for him.richieburnettrocks14-12-2025
- Yes, a warning indeed. He is coming to the buffet table, out of his way. This class A goof continues to blither about how he is playing the best darts of his life and even had the laughable audacity to say he was in the best shape of his life. He had a lucky run at Blackpool and even luckier at the World Championship and is still living off that. His form the past year especially the last 6 months completely sucks. 6 micky mouse titles mean nothing.richieburnettrocks13-12-2025
- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025
- Greaves could win Fallon might win Ashton might get a set Van Leuven could get a set deciders Hayter might get to a doubleBandB10-12-2025
- Congratulations Deta, champion at last. Although I was really hoping Sophie was going to win. Deta had a tough route to the final and a deserved Champion after soooooo many attempts.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Congratulations Zehra, an excellent performance, 3-0 was harsh on Rebecca, she played well and actually won a decent trophy better than what Zehra won. I think it is extremely poor and insulting that the girls prize money is half of what the boys win. At that level it should be equal, girls wanting to take up darts will see the injustice of winnings and could think twice about taking up the sport. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but I would be vocal about prize money if the female equivalent was double the amount.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
