Glory for Gerwyn Price at Premier League Darts in Nottingham as hoodoo over Luke Littler continues
PDC
Gerwyn Price continues to have a hold over Luke Littler who seems to be put off time and again by 'The Iceman's fired up oche persona as the Welshman conquers Nottingham to win Premier League Darts Night Six.
Price now sits level on night wins with Luke Humphries and Littler but the duo sit well clear of the chasing pack with 11 nights to go of the weekly roadshow. But after some incredible form at the weekend in Wieze, Price continues to show that he may well be back in business.
Price started poorly as the crowd jeered him. But after a 180 from LIttler, Price hit back himself to leave 79. But Littler had a dart at 121 missing double 14 for the break.
Price went double double on 79 and Littler looked to break but threw a few stray darts at double. Price finally hit double 10 for 1-0. Price missed the bull by the width of a wire for 132.
But Littler missed the chance to hold again and Price made it 2-0. Price hit 89 from 129 to leave double 20 and Littler couldn't get anywhere near 141. 'The Iceman' made it 3-0.
Littler finally got on the board with an 85 checkout but Price opened his throw with another maximum. He hit a 123 on the bull with Littler not getting a sniff despite scoring brilliance.
Every leg Littler had hit a 180 with an average of 114 despite being 4-1 down. Littler was given a let off as Price couldn't get a shot at 104 after 'The Nuke' tried getting in his head with a 120 checkout using three double 20's.
Littler made it 4-2. He broke with a poor leg from Price punished. Price couldn't make a fist of 98 and Littler had a shot at 72 missing double 20 allowing 'The Iceman' back for double 20 for 5-3 and he sealed the win with a 100 checkout.

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
