Clayton after sealing superb World Series title at New South Wales Darts Masters: "Hopefully this can kick-start the rest of my year"

Jonny Clayton sealed his first World Series title barring the Finals by winning the New South Wales Darts Masters in Australia defeating James Wade in a dominant display in the final in Wollongong.

Clayton claimed it 8-1 and hopes to use it as a springboard for the rest of the season now.

“This means a lot to me,” said an emotional Clayton.

“I knew I needed to keep James under pressure because we all know what James can do, and luckily for me I kept him under pressure.

“Hopefully this can kick-start the rest of my year. Last week I didn’t turn up, but I lost to a much better player, and now I’m looking forward to next week.”
