Nathan Aspinall reaches final of Night Four in Premier League, will face van Gerwen or Littler in Newcastle final
PDCThursday, 22 February 2024 at 22:22
Nathan Aspinall reached his first final in this year's Premier League as he dispatched Rob Cross 6-4 in a composed display.
Both players opened up with comfortable holds of throw. With Aspinall playing in his first semi final of the Premier League season, he played with a sense of freedom early on. The standard was high, with both of them taking no more than five visits to the board to check out in the first four legs. It was Aspinall who managed to find the first break of throw after Cross missed two darts at double.
Cross' level started to drop and lost his throw in the sixth leg, but snuck away with the next one as Aspinall failed to make his opponent pay on the outer ring. The defending Matchplay champion restored his two leg buffer, as Cross' scoring deserted him, but the former World Champion battled to close the gap back to one and force a last-leg decider and, despite Aspinall missing a match dart, he was allowed to return to the board and close out the game on double three.
He will take on either table-topper Michael van Gerwen or Luke Littler in the final.

- 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
