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.

Smith initially led 3-2 with an 85 checkout on the bull but Aspinall turned it around with a 116 checkout and a 140 back-to-back proving the catalyst as he romped to victory and sets up a meeting with the league leader.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
