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.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
