Gurney registers first Premier League win against Dobey as fight against relegation begins
PDCTuesday, 25 August 2020 at 20:48
Daryl Gurney has seen both Rob Cross and Gerwyn Price falter tonight which could give him the chance to escape Premier League relegation and he has boosted those chances with a brilliant win over Chris Dobey 7-2.
Gurney as a result has registered his first maximum points haul this year in the Premier League and it is a victory which could prove pivotal later on in proceedings.
Dobey averaged just 76 in the early going as he couldn't find his best darts and as a result, Gurney took full advantage racing into a 4-0 lead as he headed into at least a point.
He had a chance to make it 5-0 but he passed it up and as a result, Dobey returned to make it 4-1 and get himself off the mark.
Gurney continued to build towards the victory and this included Dobey missing double 16 for a 112 checkout which allowed Superchin back to make it 6-1.
A consolation hold from Dobey prolonged the tie but the Northern Irishman finished proceedings off from there in a win that not only is good for his points total but also leg difference.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
