Gerwyn Price stormed into the semi-finals at
Players Championship 18 following a convincing 6-0 victory over former world champion Rob Cross.
Cross was punished early in the match for not taking out 79 in the second leg as Price hit four 14-dart legs in a row to lead 5-0, after he started with a 76 checkout in the first leg. 'The Iceman' finished the match in style with a stunning 104 finish.
Price meets
Stephen Bunting, after the former Lakeside champion defeated Richard Veenstra. After both players shared the first four legs, there were three breaks on the spin with Bunting claiming two breaks. 'The Bullet' then claimed his own leg with a 15-dart leg, before securing the win with a 90 checkout.
In the second semi-final
Gian van Veen takes on
Joe Cullen. Van Veen, who won the Development Tour ranking this year, beat his fellow Dutchman Jeffrey de Zwaan 6-2 with a superb 106 average. Cullen recorded a 6-0 whitewash win against Darryl Pilgrim.
