Aspinall denies nine-dart hero De Sousa as points shared in epic Premier League draw

Nathan Aspinall has denied nine-dart hero Jose de Sousa an epic win by holding him to a draw as Night Four continues in the 2021 Premier League Darts.
De Sousa as well as hitting the perfect leg also pinned 11 180's and a 100 average but it wasn't enough to claim the win over the in-form Asp in the end.
To start the tie, De Sousa was superb going six darts into a nine-dart finish before spurning his chance by missing six darts at double handing Aspinall the leg.
But following that, he made amends hitting a brilliant nine-dart finish to make it two in two nights.
It didn't faze Aspinall though who kicked back into gear and took out 49 for a 14-dart break back and a 2-1 lead after De Sousa had missed double 20 for a 120 checkout.
It became four breaks of throw in a row in short order with De Sousa making it 2-2 before he finally held his throw.
He put himself in the driving seat from there taking out double eight for a 13-dart break after Aspinall missed double 17 for a 114 finish to level. It was soon 5-3 to De Sousa but pivotally, he missed four darts at double to secure a point at 5-4 up which could have been the catalyst for a potential 7-4 win.
Instead, he did guarantee himself a point in the requisite leg but despite his heroics, he failed to win being held to a 6-6 draw.

- 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
