Anderson punishes Smith for missing doubles and almost secures play-off spot
PDC
Gary Anderson has come closer to a play-off spot in the Premier League Darts as he saw off Michael Smith 8-2 on Night 14 of the competition.
Anderson has now 19 points after 14 matches. One more point in his remaining two matches would be enough for The Flying Scotsman to qualify for the final night of the Premier League Darts.
Smith is likely to drop out of the race for the play-offs, as he needed a victory against Anderson. The former World Youth Championship won two of the first three legs, but missed a big opportunity to keep pace with Anderson.
The Scotsman broke Smith's throw in the sixth leg after Bullyboy missed five darts to level the match. Anderson hit double 2 to make 4-2 and claimed four more legs on the spin to claim the win.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
