League leader Durrant hits 106 average in eliminating Cross on Premier League Judgement Night
PDCThursday, 27 August 2020 at 21:29
Rob Cross is out of this year's Premier League after losing out to the league leader Glen Durrant who produced a sublime display once again averaging 106 in a 7-4 victory.
Cross needed to win and nothing else to avoid being eliminated after Daryl Gurney lost out to Peter Wright earlier this evening but Durrant got the requisite six legs he needed.
As well as averaging 106, he also hit 7/9 on the doubles and a 167 checkout en route in a highly impressive win for the Teesside ace with Cross bowing out with a 103 average himself.
It was nearly a humbling defeat for Cross in his final Premier League match of this year as he went 4-0 down with aforementioned 167 checkout. He got on the board with a 124 checkout on the bull which sparked a mini revival.
He took three legs in a row with a break and a hold to make it 5-3 and to ask the question of Durrant. The latter promptly answered with a hold of his own to make sure of a point.
From there, a 72 checkout and a 14 darter saw Durrant win through and continue to top the league ahead of the second phase.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
