"Hopefully they bring the World Championship here too!" - Gerwyn Price's love affair with Wolverhampton continues after another blistering Grand Slam performance

Gerwyn Price impressed in his second group match at the Grand Slam of Darts. 'The Iceman' defeated Ryan Searle 5-0 and averaged 110.51.

Price has already secured progression to the second round with one group match to go (against Gian van Veen). "I felt good up there and I knew I was playing pretty well and putting Ryan under a lot of pressure," said the 38-year-old Welshman to Online Darts post-match. "I was in the zone. It's a little bit of a statement."

"You know, I've lost games in the groups before I don't know if that's a good omen or a bad one so I don't know if I want to lose on Monday," he jokes. "But yes, I'm out to win. I'm all guns blazing."

Price won the tournament two years ago. "Obviously, I know I'm defending some big ranking points in this tournament. So I want to go and win it, defend the ranking points and hopefully have a have a good run in Butlins as well," concludes Price. "Hopefully this is the forever home for this tournament because I seem to play well here. Hopefully they bring the World Championship here too!"
