Gerwyn Price continues to delight his home crowd in Cardiff after surviving a comeback and match darts to see off Michael van Gerwen in an epic clash winning it 6-5 in the end with Nathan Aspinall up next in Night Two's conclusion of 2023 Premier League Darts.
Van Gerwen seemed out of sight and on his way to a second straight final but a crucial 180 from Price and more crucial misses from MVG with the crowd trying to will their man over the line allowed 'The Iceman' back to keep his cool on double 18 for the win.
Price led 5-3 in the early going hitting a 106 initially to make it 4-2 and go two legs away from the final. But Van Gerwen sealed consecutive legs to level at 5-5 including a 74 and 76 checkout with the latter being an 11-darter before the events of the final leg but will they get a Price win overall tonight.

Standing in his way is Aspinall who continues to impress on his return to Premier League Darts action.
He produced a 105 average again to dump out World Champion and World Number One, Michael Smith 6-4 and seal his spot.
To start, Smith produced a filthy 137 checkout using two double 20's to make it 1-1 and continued his insane finishing with a 1`37 and 148 to lead the match but he needed it with Aspinall playing out of his skin.
This showed as he hit a 129 to leave 32 which he pinned and albeit Smith clung on with a 121 checkout, Aspinall sealed the win with a 136 checkout. Utter class.

- Yep... that is correct... that XY male will be at home with the other men.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- True, Richie. Broke my heart when Mr Senna lost his life,,, the man cared about others too. Senna had an Austrian flag in his car and was going to do a lap of honour in memory of Roland Ratzenberger, who tragically lost his life on the same weekend, sadly, Senna never got the chance. Mr Senna would have surpassed Schumacher—no doubt.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
