Chris Dobey could be throwing a wrench into the PDC's plans in regards to the Premier League Darts line-up which is yet to be confirmed with 'Hollywood' into a maiden major final to face either Peter Wright or Rob Cross shortly at the 2023 Masters.
Dobey `like his football team Newcastle United has been firmly on the up reaching two quarter-finals, a semi-final and now a final in his last five televised tournaments and saw off World Number One and World Champion, Michael Smith in a superb 11-7 win.

Smith broke to begin the tie going 2-1 up and sitting 3-2 ahead at the first interval with Dobey just behind and 'Hollywood' remained constantly in touch.
He hit a 72 checkout followed by a 118 for 4-4 to draw level and it remained all square at 5-5 at the halfway point but this is where Dobey started to motor.
He moved two clear with a break for the first time at 8-6 and at the final break was 9-6 up. Smith had no answers and was soon 10-7 down.
After Smith missed darts to prolong the tie, Dobey finally got over the line on double eight after priorly missing a match dart at the double.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
