Jonny Clayton has claimed his first win as a Premier League player by seeing off reigning champion, Glen Durrant 7-3 to continue Night Two in Milton Keynes.
Clayton was 5-0 and 6-1 up at one point but despite Durrant forming some late resistance of sorts, it was 'The Ferret' who came through in a superb display with a 98 average and four 180's.
Clayton doubled his lead early on with an 84 checkout which saw ominous signs for Durrant and this was further with another break in the form of a 96 checkout to go 4-0 up.
'Duzza' was yet to have a dart at double and Clayton found another hold of throw to head 5-0 up but the reigning champion averted the whitewash with double eight to trail 5-1.
He may have got off the mark but Clayton made sure of a point hitting double six for a 14-darter making it 6-1.
Clayton's time on the oche was prolonged though as Durrant attempted to mount a late charge with a 76 checkout on double eight.
Durrant's average went up to 91 and he was first to a finish on Clayton's throw but missed two darts to break off an 80 checkout.
A match dart came and went for Clayton and double five was pinned by Durrant to make it 6-3. Could he come from the brink for a draw?
A 180 followed by double nine for Clayton claimed him the win but only after more match darts went begging and Durrant missed a dart at the bull for a 127.

- 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
