Defending champions Wales survive late Finland revival to reach second round at World Cup of Darts
PDCThursday, 09 September 2021 at 22:10
Defending champions Wales (Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton) are successfully into the second round of the 2021 World Cup of Darts after seeing off Finland 5-2 to continue the opening night of action in Jena.
But it wasn't without a spirited comeback in particular by Marko Kantele who pounced on Price and Clayton's inability to close out the game as well as some quality finishing himself.
After surging into a 3-0 lead, Wales looked to be heading into a 4-0 lead but spurned loads of chances from both Price and Clayton.
But Kantele couldn't produce either and Price was back for a last dart double five with the defending champions having the throw to win with a whitewash.
Wales weren't at their best in the final leg and they were punished by Kantele who was left 95 and produced a brilliant marker for bull which he pinned to avert the whitewash and break.
They added another with a 58 checkout once again falling to Kantele to consolidate. This late revival proved to be just that as Kantele missed a dart to break again and make it 4-3 and Clayton wrapped it up on double 10.

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- 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
