Clayton relishing fact he threw winning double at World Cup of Darts: "Price's going to hear about that for the next year, week in, week out"

Wales were dominant winners at the World Cup of Darts, with Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton smashing the Scottish pair of Peter Wright and Gary Anderson in the final 10-2.

The man to hit the winning double was Clayton, and its not something he plans to let Price soon forget. "I left Gerwyn Price on 36 [to seal victory] and I thought he's going to hit this and proper milk it, but he missed," Clayton told BBC Sport. "It was a special moment. I've heard enough about him carrying me, so it's payback time and lookout. I'm not going to let that one go, he's going to hear about that for the next year, week in, week out."

The fact that this year's event was played in exclusively pairs matches seemed to benefit Wales. Price and Clayton share a great bond with each other and as such make for perfect doubles partners.

"When you're playing with a smile on your face, it's much easier than being there miserable and can't wait for the game to be over," Clayton explains. "I could have played another 20 games with Gerwyn Price and enjoyed every second of it. He's a great guy, a brilliant captain, a fantastic dart player and we get on really well, so every tick is in the box. I couldn't wish for a better partner."

Taking their second World Cup of Darts title and reaching their third final in four years, something about wearing the red of Wales brings out the best in 'the Ferret'. "To put that red jersey on for Wales is something different," he says. "We are both from rugby backgrounds. Gerwyn had a cap for Welsh schools and I have never done that, so my only representation for Wales is through darts."

"It's a fantastic feeling to walk on that stage, you turn around and obviously you see all the Welsh flags and you know Wales are all behind you," he continues. "We're [Wales] second to none when it comes to supporting our athletes and teams, so it was a great feeling."

Finally, reiterating a point Proce has made previously, Clayton wants to the winners get the chance to host the following World Cup. "I know for a fact if it was in Wales, they would fill that Motorpoint Arena no problem. We've got the rugby, we've got the football and now darts is on the map as well. I don't think we'll ever beat the rugby, but we might go above the football, so crossed fingers."
