Michael van Gerwen will face Nathan Aspinall in the first semi-final on Night Five of Premier League Darts action in Exeter after victories over Gerwyn Price and Michael Smith respectively.
For Van Gerwen, it was repeat instead of revenge as he claimed back-to-back wins over Gerwyn Price. It was a 6-3 success for 'Mighty Mike' who reeled off five consecutive legs from 3-1 down to seal it.
The first two legs of the tie were shared before Price punished 10 missed darts at doubles from Van Gerwen to break throw and lead 2-1. More missed darts made it 3-1 to Price.
But he started to get into the groove and took out 83 for back-to-back legs and to square it up at 3-3. A 96 checkout saw him move ahead and a 84 on the bull towards the finish at 5-3 before making no mistake on double 16.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
