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.

- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
