PDC
The opening round is complete at Players Championship Eight with Gerwyn Price in particular starring in his opening round tie in Leicester with a 113 average as he pummelled Lukas Wenig 6-1.
In epic style from 'The Iceman', he took down legs of 14, 14, 13, 11, 16 and 12 to surge through to the second round not giving the German a chance in their contest. Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Luke Humphries were also among the victors.
Van Gerwen averaged 99 as he breezed past Jeffrey de Graaf 6-3, while for Anderson it was a 6-3 win over Haupai Puha. After mooted shoulder issues, 'The Flying Scotsman' averaged 101 to seal his opening win of the day. Birthday boy Stephen Bunting edged past Jitse van der Wel 6-4. There was also wins for Rob Cross as well as Josh Rock, Damon Heta and Jonny Clayton among others. Nathan Aspinall is already through to the third round after seeing off Andy Baetens with Last 64 action well underway.

- 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025

- "For the past 20 years, the Grand Prix winner was there every time" Because all former winners were Top 8 players, as simple as that. "Now they say you get into the Premier League based on results. So apparently that's not the case" Results ? You just have ONE result over 2 years. Without these 3 days wonders, you wouldn't be Top 32... "Aspinall and Price. They didn't deserve it" Maybe, but never seems that you do. Other players must be picked before.cycyP309-01-2025
- Premier League is nothing more now than a pantomime where the crowd turn up and boo at the villain and cheer on the hero while getting pissed out their brains. Basically its the WWE of darts.Mysstree09-01-2025
