James Wade claimed victory over Gerwyn Price in a tense content between the pair with Price leaving the stage despondent and refusing to shake hands with 'The Machine'.

For the Aldershot ace though it won't matter with him moving back up into third in the standings and continuing his excellent form as of late as a result.
He started the contest off well with back to back finishes of 61 and 73 to hand him a 2-0 lead over 'The Iceman'.
Wade stretched his lead to 3-0 with 60 percent on the doubles to hand himself the advantage in the early going.
Price started the next leg with six perfect darts and finished it off with a 11 darter to trail 3-1. Wade though restored a three-leg cushion meaning the Welshman's resurgence wasn't going to effect him.
Wade continued on to make it 5-2 despite Price being visibly annoyed by something on stage and despite him pegging a leg back, it was Wade who went to within one of a guaranteed point at 6-3 ahead hammering in a 122 checkout on the bull.
He then went one away by hitting a 12 darter which guaranteed himself a point and he finished it off to add another two points to his tally.
