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 Β£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.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
