NewsThursday, 28 February 2019 at 21:45
James Wade has shown he is still definitely one of the players to beat in world darts by stunning Michael van Gerwen in Exeter during the Premier League Darts.
Wade was sensational against Mighty Mike and took away his unbeaten record in the Premier League so far. Van Gerwen was punished for his doubles with only 27 percent and a 94 average. This allowed the Aldershot ace to reel off five legs in a row for the win.
It started off quite neck and neck with Van Gerwen seemingly taking the upper hand in the early going with a 124 checkout to take a 3-2 lead. The double problems started to show though with him missing three darts at double allowing Wade to hit his trademark double ten.
From there, he strengthened his grip on the match going 5-3 up. He confirmed a point with a 121 checkout to go within one of a win as well. Wade ended it off with missing 116 for the win before hitting double 18 to take the shock win.

- A move to Netflix or Amazon would work for me. No way do i want to subscribe to a 24 month Sky contract, with a streaming service you pay or a month, binge watch then cancel. Subscribe to Netflix for December and January watch the darts and all the festive stuff then cancel before February kicks in.Mysstree29-11-2024

- Still seems a bit pointless to me,I don't know hardly of them. I love darts,but watching 70 averages won't make me watch. No personalities like there used to berick6729-11-2024
- Wonder if Peter Wright gets in again??!!rick6729-11-2024
- Am beginning to wonder if there is to much darts now and players are burning out earlier and with the high rewards now at the top level once a few million has been earned the desire to play wanes. There is no close season as such and there is the exhibition circuit so it is a 12 month circus.Mysstree29-11-2024
