Wales won the World Cup of Darts last weekend by beating Scotland 10-2 in the final. For Jonny Clayton, it was his second World Cup win.
"Definitely it's at the top of my achievement list," ther former Premier League champion and World Grand Prix winner tells Sky Sports. "To win any tournament is fantastic. But to play in a pairs that you've got to work hard with your teammate and only throw 25% of the time, to win a competition like that, and in the Welsh jersey it has to be high on my list."
As mentioned, this is the second time Clayton has lifted the World Cup of Darts alongside Gerwyn Price and it was their third final in four years. 'The Ferret' has the World Cup of Darts record in his sights.
"Adrian Lewis and Phil Taylor have four I think," Clayton continues. "It would be nice to pass them two. But who knows, the darts are in a great place. There's brilliant teams out there. It's going to be difficult but we'll try our best. Hopefully we can be the kings."

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
