Premier League Darts standings after penultimate night: Van Gerwen's chances of top spot are close to being over
PDCFriday, 12 May 2023 at 08:00
Gerwyn Price moved a step closer to securing first place in Premier League Darts on Thursday night. 'The Iceman' lost to Michael Smith in Sheffield in the weekly final.
After 15 of 16 rounds of play, Price stands on 36 points, followed by Smith and Michael van Gerwen with 33 and 31 points, respectively. Price needs one win during the final round of play to finish definitively as number one in the league standings.
Behind the top three, there is still a battle between Jonny Clayton and Nathan Aspinall for the last available spot for the playoffs.

Clayton is currently in pole position with 24 points, while Aspinall has 22 points. 'The Asp' needs a final place during the final round of play in Aberdeen to still finish fourth, but Clayton would have to lose his opening match.
Chris Dobey (14 points), Dimitri van den Bergh (11 points) and Peter Wright (nine points) have been out of the race for the playoffs for several weeks.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
