AWESOME ASPINALL REIGNS IN BLACKPOOL! 🏆 It's Nathan Aspinall's night at the Winter Gardens! The Asp produces a sensational display to clinch the biggest title of his career, defeating Jonny Clayton 18-6 in a remarkable final! #WMDarts Final
Jonny Clayton failed to add the World Matchplay to his collection of tournament wins. 'The Ferret' went down 18-6 against Nathan Aspinall in the final.
“I came out of the blocks well but then Nathan just turned up,” opened Clayton, who, as the loser, can add another £100,000 to his account.
“I cannot argue with the result. I was beaten by the better player, and what a fantastic guy he is," continues Clayton, magnanimous in defeat. “To make the World Matchplay final is an amazing achievement. I’m a very proud man."
Clayton deserves a lot of credit for his performances over the course of the week, especially given the circumstances regarding his ailing father. “I’d like to thank my family and this phenomenal crowd. One day I will get back on this stage in a final, and hopefully that will be my night.”
