Jonny Clayton sealed the latest night of Premier League Darts action in Aberdeen but like many left with a sour taste in his mouth due to whistling from members of the crowd.

Speaking post final, Clayton slammed it as 'ridiculous' and said for those doing it to him, it doesn't just affect those they are trying to put off.
"When it's all the same boo and it's the same kind of tone, it's a bit of banter but in the end, it was terrible. The whistling was against myself when I was throwing for double but sometimes when they do it against the player, I'll shut them up," he said to Online Darts.
"But it affects the guy behind because Michael is trying to beat me but in his head, he's probably thinking guys just be quiet because this guy is trying to throw darts.
"They pay silly money, don't they want to watch the best darts possible. I just don't understand it. The whistling is ridiculous at the end."
