Jonny Clayton has extended his lead atop the Premier League Darts table after seeing off Peter Wright to progress to the semi-finals in Dublin.
Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright are his main challengers at the top with the latter falling to 'The Ferret' and 'Mighty Mike' losing earlier to James Wade who is also in the top four.
So as a result, Clayton has a great chance to build a lead going into the latter stages of the regular season. In seeing off Wright, he won 6-3 with a 100 average to do so.
To begin the tie, Wright produced a brilliant 141 to make it 2-2 but then missed 161 on the bull to allow Clayton in to go 3-2 up.
A pivotal break and hold followed with Clayton hitting double 16 and pouncing on a missed 121 from Wright to make it 5-2. It was no mistake next time for Wright who pinned 121 but that was simply to hold as Clayton sealed the deal.
While in the battle of the bottom two, Michael Smith who like Gary Anderson is very much out of the equation seemingly now is through to the semi-finals.
The basement battle saw a quality display from Smith who reeled off four legs in a row from 2-2 in order to seal a 6-2 win.
He averaged 102 in the process with 75% on the doubles with Anderson producing the same high quality average but with only two legs to show for his efforts.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- 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
