Glen Durrant in only his first season leads the Premier League but with an added caveat with there likely to be no action in the darting roadshow for some time.

This is due to Coronavirus and for Durrant while it’s frustrating especially with some ‘dream’ nights coming up; he is very much about putting everyone’s health first.
"A week ago, I was quite down about it because it's been a dream of mine to play Premier League.
"Newcastle was the one that was next, which is obviously 40 minutes from my home and I had close to 500 people going to that, and the week after that, I had Michael van Gerwen in Rotterdam.
"That's what dreams are all about, that's why I joined the PDC, for games like that.
"But with time, you begin to realise this is a serious time for everybody and it's about your health and well-being and touch wood, I'm absolutely fine.
"I'm fit, I'm healthy, I'm at home, I'm following all the necessary guidelines and just hoping that this passes soon and we can get back to normality."
"There's so much more in the tank," added Durrant. "If I put my practice darts on, which every dart player will tell you, it would be amazing, but when you're playing in front of 10,000 people all of a sudden it's a little bit difficult."
