Gerwyn Price sealed the title at the penultimate Players Championship tournament of the season on Wednesday. 'The Iceman' won 8-3 over Dave Chisnall in the final to take his sixth ranking title of the season.
In doing so, the Welshman took revenge for his embarrassing defeat at the European Championship last weekend. In the quarter-finals, Price surrendered a 7-0 lead against Danny Noppert. That defeat was the reason why Price had traveled to Barnsley after all.
“I gave myself a kick up the backside and it worked,” reflected Price.
“I was going to take these two days off, but I wanted to punish myself. I was so poor towards the end of the game against Danny [last weekend].
“I couldn’t hit anything early on [against Chisnall], so I was trying to throw a little bit quicker and get my arm in, and thankfully I found it towards the end of that game.
“It’s not easy when you’re playing in all the big tournaments and you’re trying to pick and choose your events. When you do turn up you’re under pressure, but thankfully I did the business today.”

PRICE PREVAILS AT PC29! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 What a performance from Gerwyn Price, who clinches his fourth Players Championship title of 2023 with an emphatic 8-3 success against Dave Chisnall! The Welshman won eight of the last nine legs to triumph with an average of almost 101!
