Aspinall on anchoring new generation in darts: “I don’t think it’ll be long before us young lads are dominating”

Nathan Aspinall continued his Premier League brilliance with victory over Peter Wright to end Night Ten.
Aspinall sits top of the table ahead of Michael Van Gerwen and for ‘The Asp’, he sees him and Dimitri Van den Bergh towards the top as showing the new generation of darts.
“Me and Dimi (Van den Bergh) talk about it quite a lot. Six or seven years ago, me and Dimi were on the youth tour (with) Keegan Brown, Josh Payne, Michael Smith. You can say Van Gerwen but he’s done what he’s done,” said Aspinall post match.
“Us lads were on the Youth Tour together now we’re trying to fly the flag for the PDC. It’s amazing for us guys but it’s also amazing for the sport of darts.
“People think darts is still about the old guys. They say I don’t look like a dart player. Darts is changing. There’s a lot of money to be won.”
“I don’t think it’ll be long before us young lads are dominating. That’s you want, you want progression in sport. It’s exciting and I’m glad to be part of it.”

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
