Gurney after claiming first Premier League win to begin fight against relegation: "I've given myself a chance now"
PDC
Daryl Gurney has began his fight against relegation with his first Premier League win over Chris Dobey and despite not being pleased with his performance, he is now looking forward.
Gurney started Night Seven three points adrift of Rob Cross and Gerwyn Price but defeats for the duo have given him a fighting chance. He is now only a point off and will take on Nathan Aspinall hoping to continue his great escape.
"I put myself under a lot of pressure and I've got the win so I've given myself a chance now," said Gurney.
"Practice-wise I'm playing better than ever so I'm disappointed with how I played. It wasn't the way I wanted to win - I wanted to play well and I'm not taking my practice game onto stage.
"I'm only a point now behind Rob and Gezzy and I've given myself a chance. If I can get a result against Nathan Aspinall then I can put the pressure on, and hopefully I can put a good performance in."

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 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.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- 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
