Clayton
was the first through with a 7-3 victory over Mervyn King hitting four 180’s
and a 97.7 average as he looks to gain a second European Tour title.
He surged
into the lead early on taking out 90 to make it 4-0 against King and the latter
answered back momentarily with a 177 and 180 followed by double 16 for an
11-darter for 4-1 down.
‘The
Ferret’ though went one away from the final at 6-2 up. Questions were asked
following that with Clayton squandering three match darts at tops and King
survived at 6-3.
But this
proved nothing more than a consolation with Clayton pinning 62 with King sat on
the same to reduce the deficit further. A brilliant weekend has just got better
for the Welshman.
While for
Petersen, he saw off Danny Noppert in a 7-4 win as he reaches another ranking
final and his first European Tour with a 100.7 average to boot. Can he claim
his first PDC title?
He moved
2-1 up in the early stages and 3-2 with no 180’s between the pair as the tie
began to get really scrappy but a first maximum was timely from ‘The African
Warrior’ who held his throw to go 4-3 up and broke throw from there at 5-3 up.

He suddenly
went to within one with a 101 checkout but getting over the finishing line was
a different story.
Missing
one match dart allowed Noppert to stay allowing at 6-4 down. Despite that
though like in the Clayton match, it proved nothing more than to prolong the
tie as Petersen got over the line hitting double 16 after setting it up from
130.
