Price hits 110 average in prolific win over Cullen, will face Dobey in semi-finals who edged out De Sousa in thrilling decider

The first semi-final at the Danish Darts Open is confirmed with Gerwyn Price set to take on Chris Dobey after two impressive performances to kick off the evening session.
Price hit a 110 average in a superb win; as he built on his form he has shown throughout the tournament so far.
He hit four 180's and 60 percent on the doubles in a 6-1 win as he smashed through 'The Rockstar' who himself didn't play badly with a 93 average but didn't have any answer to the Welshman's superb performance.
It started off level pegging with Cullen setting his stall out early with a brilliant 144 checkout to level it up; but Price started to up his average to 108 and he went 3-1 up from there.
The turning point was a 132 checkout (Bull, Bull, D16) which saw him extend his lead to 4-1; from there he eased through to the tie with Dobey.
Dobey in comparison came through a tough test against Jose de Sousa who has been the stand out performer as such in this tournament.
The Portuguese ace missed match darts in the decider; as he just missed out on reaching the semi-finals on his European Tour debut.
'Hollywood' started the better of the two claiming an early break with an 86 checkout and a 14 darter to go 2-1 up; but De Sousa came back to make it 2-2 showing the fight he's shown all tournament.
Dobey came back with back-to-back legs to go 4-2 up but once again a 135 checkout on the bull and missed doubles were then pounced on for parity.
De Sousa held throw to make it 5-4 and go one away; but Dobey himself sent it to a decider and like alluded to Jose had the chance to win but on the next attempt, the Bedlington ace hit a double 10 to win through in a tense decider.

- Difficult one. Obviously has some struggles but you can't allow that behaviour. The damage to his hand from punching and blocking the pyrotechnics will keep him out for months anyway, but ban to the matchplay and fine whatever his prize money was for this event, with a heavy suspended ban on top.BandB17-12-2025
- 1 year ban and £15,000 fine.medinabello16-12-2025
- can you not at least attempt to proof read these recaps? the whitlock scutt one in particular is both inaccurate and mindbogglingly unreadablecolt16-12-2025
- Look, everyone knows he likes to wind up his opponents. Today,his worst,and always will be,best opponent,is himself. I don't dislike the bloke,but he can only blame himself.rick6715-12-2025

- DRA - just a warning please. Obviously not deliberate, in good spirits a s immediate apology. (P.s. Good on you Joe! Tough season, hope you keep that standard into the next round and beyond)BandB14-12-2025
- This bozo says he can't take darts any further and he's left it in a good place.....no-one cares about this nobody. The PDC was always in a good place before he came along. Does this buffon think the crowd are there for him.richieburnettrocks14-12-2025
- Yes, a warning indeed. He is coming to the buffet table, out of his way. This class A goof continues to blither about how he is playing the best darts of his life and even had the laughable audacity to say he was in the best shape of his life. He had a lucky run at Blackpool and even luckier at the World Championship and is still living off that. His form the past year especially the last 6 months completely sucks. 6 micky mouse titles mean nothing.richieburnettrocks13-12-2025
- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025
