PRICE CLINCHES THE DECIDER! Joe Cullen can't quite believe he didn't reach his second televised semi-final there as he loses the deciding leg on throw to Gerwyn Price! 📺 Up next 👉 Michael van Gerwen v Dirk van Duijvenbode
Gerwyn Price is the latest player through to the semi-finals at the Players Championship Finals after getting over the line in a decider against Joe Cullen.
Price won through despite hitting just 28% on the doubles and his next task could be a tantalising tie with Michael van Gerwen.
Cullen claimed a 2-0 lead to begin the tie but Price broke back with a 116 checkout. Despite that, Cullen streaked into a 4-1 lead at the interval as he took control in the early going.
They returned though and The Iceman squared it up at 4-4 with three consecutive legs as he began to find his form.
It was very much level from there with Price battling back to parity. Cullen though retained the lead with Price unable to break the throw and he went one away but Price held firm with a 13-darter to send it the distance. He claimed it from there to move through in a 10-9 victory.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- 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
