The first semi-final is set in Nottingham on Night Seven of Premier League Darts action as Dimitri van den Bergh will face Gerwyn Price later this evening.
Van den Bergh opened the night and continued his dominant spell over Nathan Aspinall as well as his superb return to Premier League life so far. The highlight being a 126 checkout on the bull in a 6-4 success.
It could've been even easier for Van den Bergh who surged into a 3-0 and 5-2 lead over 'The Asp' but he made it 5-4 after two missed match darts which allowed the latter to hit a 70 checkout but the 126 checkout stopped the comeback in its tracks in superb fashion.
While in another iteration of World Cup teammates and close friends in Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton took place with 'The Iceman' keeping his cool against 'The Ferret'.
He sealed a 6-4 victory with a 97.6 average to advance to a tie with Van den Bergh. Initially going 2-1 up, Clayton sealed parity at 3-3 and hit the front at 4-3 but didn't win another leg from there as Price turned it around with a break at 5-4 and pinned double 10 for the win with Clayton waiting on 66.

- 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
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
