Five weeks, no points for Peter Wright as 'Snakebite' heads into the next two weeks facing Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price followed by the league leader likely sitting bottom following that with his latest chance falling by the wayside in Exeter.

It was Jonny Clayton who prevailed in a 6-5 win over Wright who missed a dart at double 20 which is the closest he has got to sealing a point this season.
This after he led 2-1 initially in the tie and continued to level up at 3-3 and 4-4 with an 80 and 121 checkout. He sent it all the way with an 84 checkout before missing that dart at double 20 and as Clayton pinned the double, it was relief for 'The Ferret' as he got over the line.
While Chris Dobey's run without a win since the opening night which he sealed continues as Dimitri van den Bergh continues to gain momentum.
'The Dreammaker' sealed a 6-3 win over 'Hollywood' with back-to-back finishes of 140 and 121 with both players averaging 104.5 and hitting four 180's in a terrific contest.
But can he finally seal a night this time around, the winner faces either Michael van Gerwen or Nathan Aspinall.
