How well do Price and Clayton really know each other? Welsh duo put to the test

Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton recently won the World Cup of Darts together for the second time, with their good friendship being a key dynamic in their victory. But who knows more about the other?

Sky Sports recently put that question to the test, asking the Welsh duo a number of questions regarding the other, to try and find out just how close they really are.
First up the question of Price's pre-match meal. "Nando's" shouts out Clayton before Price has even had a chance to write down the correct answer. "Hey, I need to write it down first," Price explains. "Wagamama's."
Price's favourite double? "Tops" answers Clayton confidently and correctly. For Clayton's favourite double, Price is equally spot on as he says "double 16."
Biggest fear? "Gezzy's biggest fear is losing," says Clayton and as Price turns over his card, the Ferret is proven right, iliciting a shout of "oh, good boy Jonny" from his partner. This time though Price can't follow suit, unable to correctly guess Clayton's biggest fear to be spiders.
Finally, what about biggest Welsh idol? "Gezzy's idol will be a rugby player," Clayton muses before once again answering correctly. "Scott Gibbs?" This time whilst along the right lines, Price is unable to correctly answer. "Marshall James?" Price guesses. "My Welsh idol is Mark Webster," says a laughing Clayton in response.

Although they may not have got all the answers correct, the camaraderie and closeness between the pair, that was so key to their World Cup of Darts victory ensures they will be tough to beat for years to come.

- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
