Wright ahead of final league match vs Gurney: “I’m gutted I’m not in the top four’
NewsThursday, 10 May 2018 at 15:15
Peter Wright faces Daryl Gurney tonight with only the latter having any chance of reaching the play-offs. This for ‘Snakebite’ has been a Premier League season to forget.
Last season he had darts to win the whole tournament and he should have converted them but this time he has been eliminated in contention for the O2. This is something that is gutting for Wright but he admits he has not been good enough. "I’m gutted I’m not in the top four but I haven’t been good enough across the season, I’ve had too many ups and downs," said Wright. “If I get picked next year then I’ll make sure I’m ready. “I want to finish with a flourish in front of my home crowd in Aberdeen. “It will be very difficult against Daryl Gurney. He’s fighting for fourth place and I’m fighting to finish as high as I can and get as much prize money as I can."

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
