Gerwyn Price has confirmed his Premier League survival with a stunning whitewash win over Challenger Jermaine Wattimena to put it all up to the final two games of the night on Judgement Night.
Price only needed one leg to confirm his Premier League survival but set about putting out a benchmark performance.
This included a 102 average and a high checkout of 164 from 'The Iceman'. This came to make it 3-0 and two 14-darters on the way made sure of at least a point and he sealed it with a 96 checkout.
He subjected Wattimena who only averaged 81 to only one dart at double all match while he finished with 6/11 overall.
Next up is Daryl Gurney who will know what his survival is complete if he can defeat Peter Wright as he is currently one point ahead of Rob Cross; who finishes the night against league leader Glen Durrant.

- 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
