Rob Cross into semifinals on Premier League return as Gerwyn Price delights home crowd in Cardiff
PDCThursday, 01 February 2024 at 21:20
Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross were the first two players to qualify for the semifinals at the first round of play in the Premier League Darts in Cardiff. Price won 6-4 over Nathan Aspinall in front of his own crowd.
Price fell behind 0-2 early in the match, but a 13-darter and a 124 finish brought 'The Iceman' back to 2-2. In the eighth leg, Price posted a break via a 13-darter for a 5-3 lead, but Aspinall then immediately made up for that break with a 68 check-out. 'The Asp' then surrendered his own leg again, however, giving the win 6-4 to Price.
Cross recorded a comfortable victory over Peter Wright, who again failed to impress with an average of 83.78. Cross missed four chances in the sixth leg to break Wright, but a 109 finish in the eighth leg gave 'Voltage' a breakaway lead. The Englishman then secured victory with double 18.
Before the semifinals are played, the other two quarterfinals are scheduled. Michael van Gerwen then takes on Michael Smith, while Luke Humphries faces Luke Littler.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- 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
