Durrant claims PDC Home Tour Group 19 with trio of victories

In a tournament so far which has seen the big names tumble out in some cases early, the same cannot be said for Premier League leader Glen Durrant who is through to the next round of the PDC Home Tour.

Durrant claimed Group 19 after a trio of victories over Vincent van der Meer (5-1), Justin Pipe (5-3) and Maik Kuivenhoven (5-3).

Going into his final tie which was the last of the evening, the equation was simple for the multiple Lakeside World Champion; he needed four legs to get the job done or Justin Pipe would win the group.

He did so and instead of taking his foot off the gas claimed the victory over the Dutchman. 'Duzza' hit averages of 101, 98 and 100 en route to claiming victory and will likely become one of the favourites already to secure overall honours when the next phase begins.

Every evening, the four players will each face off; with each match being the best of nine legs. This group stage lasts 32 days with that amount of players set to reach the next round to play it out from there to crown a winner.

All players have webcams set up in their houses and say their scores out loud; to make sure that they can be inputted correctly without any cheating taking place.

With each night’s action commencing at 1930 BST, darts commentator Dan Dawson will be on hand to talk through proceedings; which will also include live score graphics on screen.

All PDC Home Tour action will be broadcast live on PDCTV for free to all registered PDCTV users; regardless of whether you have a paid or free membership.

In addition all live-scores can be followed on DartConnect; with match statistics being available after every match.
