Nathan Aspinall will be relieved to have claimed a point against Michael van Gerwen after a quality display from 'The Asp' who survived a match dart en route to a 6-6 draw.
In a quality match, Aspinall averaged 105.38 and 66% on the doubles to Van Gerwen's 99.7 but despite that, it was Mighty Mike who had the opportunity to take both points before the Stockport ace salvaged a well deserved draw.
Van Gerwen started with a showpiece effort pinning 100 with two double 20 to head into the lead but Aspinall responded with a 121 checkout to make it 1-1.
MVG was at it again smashing in a 148 checkout to make it 2-1 but Aspinall responded with double 18 to claim parity at 2-2 in an entertaining start to the clash.
Van Gerwen held his throw from there and went 4-2 up with a break despite Aspinall averaging around the 106 mark compared to mid 90's from Mighty Mike.
Aspinall wouldn't lie down though and broke back to make it 4-3 immediately with a 96 checkout and it was parity again at 4-4.
He applied the pressure in the requisite leg with a maximum but Van Gerwen went 5-4 up and secured a point from there at 6-5.
But Aspinall got his reward in the form of a point but only after surviving a match dart from the Green Machine.

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
