Wattimena and White lead averages at latest Players Championship double header
NewsTuesday, 19 June 2018 at 10:30
The latest Players Championship weekend gleamed two new winners for 2018 but two familiar faces in Rob Cross & Peter Wright. Two other players stood out though in the form of Jermaine Wattimena and Ian White.
Wattimena reached back to back semi finals on the Players Championship series for the first time being denied by his inability to hit the winning double and on the Sunday a 161 checkout from eventual winner Wright. He hit the highest average of the weekend though with an effort of 111.33.
Ian White was next up hitting 109.08 for the second best effort; with the ‘Diamond’ coming close to adding further to his Pro Tour title haul. Ted Evetts & Richard North followed with 107.53 and 107.36 in European Tour qualification.
Interestingly only one effort came on the Sunday at Players Championship 14. That was from Rob Cross who hit 106.79 as he hovered around that mark all day on his way to victory.

- @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
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
