Aspinall snatches victory against Smith to open Premier League Judgement Night
PDCThursday, 27 August 2020 at 19:15
Nathan Aspinall has claimed victory to open up Premier League Judgement Night against Michael Smith with the latter squandering eight darts to secure a point.
Aspinall seized his reprieve from there to close it out 7-5 in a match which included eleven 180's in all from the pair.
Smith kicked off with a 180 to begin the contest but Aspinall smashed in a 121 on the bull for the opening leg. He squared it up at one a piece but it was the former who claimed the early lead with a 97 checkout for an 11-darter which saw a 3-2 advantage and a break of throw.
He went two clear with a 12-darter to hold and make it 4-2 and despite Aspinall holding his throw, Smith always stayed ahead.
Until a break of throw at 5-5 saw him get onto level terms and when Smith missed a dart at the bull, Aspinall made it three consecutive legs and from nowhere a guaranteed point. From there he closed out the victory with Smith missing more darts for a point.

- 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
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
