Price moves through to Champions League of Darts semi-finals with convincing victory over Gurney

Price hit a 101 average; despite Gurney clawing back some late legs, his scoring wasn't convincing which was the difference between the pair.

He was seemingly put off by a member of the crowd who was shouting at him and booing; he will aim to silence the crowd by lifting the belt later tonight.

Gurney missed double 14 for a 148 checkout and fluffed his lines on the requisite shot meaning that Price claimed the first leg.

Price didn't bother trying for the 170 checkout and instead set it up for double 20 in the next shot which he hit first time. Gurney got a first break of throw and a first leg; but this was soon erased with Price going 5-1 up as the break approached.

He was in cruise control with an average of just over 100 hitting double 18 first time for a 6-2 advantage. Gurney exquisitely found double 16 at the top of the bed to go 3-6 behind.

Both players held their throw as Price edged towards the finishing line at 8-4 up. Another leg on the board saw Gurney go to only 8-5 behind.

Gurney rescued it reducing the deficit to 8-6 as the crowd started to seemingly get to Price, he subsided the boo's though with double 16 which he got a fist bump for from Gurney and from there he eased to the win from there to reach the semi-finals.
