Jonny Clayton is the 2021 Premier League Darts champion after defeating Jose de Sousa 11-5 in the final to conclude an incredible debut campaign for 'The Ferret'.
Coming into the Premier League as a late addition after winning The Masters, he becomes the first player to finish fourth to claim the title taking his play-off run down to the wire.
After defeating Michael van Gerwen earlier, he saw off his fellow debutant to claim a second TV title of the year and £250,000 to boot. An amazing 2021 continues for the Welshman.
De Sousa claimed first blood with a 180 and double 20 but it was Clayton who hit the front first with a break.
He took out his usual memo of 121 on the bull to level up before double nine to make it 2-1 as his average went upwards of 110.
He moved two clear at 3-1 and continued to maintain his cushion with holds of throw but Clayton claimed a double break albeit in starting a sequence which saw him not able to consolidate this.

De Sousa held on to his coattails at 6-4 down with a 100 checkout but this is when the sequence of breaks began.
Clayton took out 98 for a 7-4 lead only for De Sousa to immediately hit back at 7-5 but he finally consolidated it pinning double 10 last dart in hand at 9-5.
From there, it was yet another break which saw the writing on the wall at 10-5 up with a 62 checkout and Clayton had a match dart from 112 to seal it but returned after De Sousa couldn't pin a 127 on the bull and 'The Ferret' hit double eight which to claim his crowning glory.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
