Gian van Veen and
Gerwyn Price have qualified for the final of
Players Championship 18 in Hildesheim. The final is later on Sunday evening.
Van Veen recorded a spectacular 7-1 victory over Joe Cullen to qualify for his second Pro Tour final. Thanks to two 12-darters and a 13-darter, Van Veen recorded an average of 105, after averaging 106 in the quarter-finals.
The Dutchman was also in a Players Championship final last year, losing to Price. Van Veen therefore gets a second chance against 'The Iceman', who also had little trouble in the semi-final against Stephen Bunting and brushed aside 'The Bullet' 7-2.
