PDC
There will be a first time ranking winner on the PDC Tour today as Ricky Evans will face Jim Williams shortly in Barnsley at Players Championship 6.
Evans is into his fifth PDC final as he will hope to end his PDC ranking hoodoo after seeing off Danny Noppert 7-4 who hit a nine-dart finish en route but was still beaten in the end.
While for Williams, he overturned a 3-0 deficit to see off Martin Schindler 7-5 with a 96.2 average to reach his maiden PDC ranking final only three months into being a full Tour Card holder.

- All of a sudden I'm getting ads when I read the pages here – is that the same for others? Sadly, it makes the site unusable. I don't want to be sold earwax removing tools or dodgy insurance, or be patronised by deceitful NHS commercials, when reading about Gary Anderson's latest success!

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
