Chris Dobey moves into Premier League Darts Night One Final in Belfast after downing Rob Cross
PDC
Chris Dobey is into the final on Night One of the 2025 Premier League Darts after taking down Rob Cross in a 6-4 win for "Hollywood' who now faces Michael van Gerwen or Luke Humphries in Belfast.
Dobey hit a 170 checkout en route to seeing off Cross. After many questioned the inclusion of Dobey, he has shown how good he is tonight. He saw off Gerwyn Price last game and now has Cross added to his resume.
He famously during his debut year kept losing despite hitting massive averages but this time he is finding his winning form and could take the first weekly title of the year shortly.

Despite missing ten darts at doubles, Dobey surged to the front in the opening stanza against Cross going 3-1 up despite also hitting an average of just 85.
Cross got one back at 3-2 down with a last dart in hand double sixteen with Dobey there waiting to go 4-1 up. Dobey missed bull for 129 and Cross took aim at 77 pinning double 10 to make it 3-3 and break.
A 132 checkout on double six saw Cross make it 4-3. A 170 checkout on the bull from Dobey saw 'Hollywood' make it 4-4. Dobey made it 5-4 after Cross could only set up 132 to leave double 14.
Dobey as a result was throwing for the win from there. He got over the line on double eight and is into the Night One final.
DOBEY INTO THE FINAL!

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
