Jonny Clayton was a perennial winner during the first iteration of the weekly tournament format in Premier League Darts last season, but hasn't been in such clinical form this time.
But Night Nine in Berlin has seen him back amongst the play-off mix and also in the winners' circle with his first of the season. He saw off Michael van Gerwen (6-5), Gerwyn Price (6-4) and finally Michael Smith (6-4) in the final.

In the final, Smith was clinical to start with two 180's and double 13 but Clayton stormed to three legs on the spin with an 86 checkout break at 2-1 before holding to make it 3-1.
But just as he seemed to have a grasp on the tie, his game went off the boil. Smith hit a 130 checkout on the bull for parity and Smith led 4-3 from there.
Only for missed darts at double to prove fatal for Smith as Clayton stopped the rot and broke to go one away before sealing the deal with a 120 checkout.

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
