Schedule for Premier League Judgement Night changed: Gurney, Cross and Price to play last matches in battle for survival
PDCThursday, 27 August 2020 at 15:59
The first phase of this year's Premier League Darts will conclude later this evening with Judgement Night and as a result, there has been a schedule change.
Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross and Daryl Gurney will battle it out for their survival tonight and they will now play in the last three games of the night.
Gurney's resurgence has meant that the race has gone to the wire with back-to-back wins putting him above Rob Cross.
Price's route through is almost secure with him needing a solitary leg from his tie with Jermaine Wattimena to ensure his place in the second phase. Even a 7-0 defeat leaves Cross needing to win by the same margin against league leader Glen Durrant.
He needs at least a draw to put the pressure on Gurney as the Northern Irishman is a point ahead but of course any sort of defeat for Cross would put him out of the running.
Price will begin the last three games against Wattimena, Gurney will follow against Wright and finally Durrant will play Cross. This comes after Nathan Aspinall vs Michael Smith and Michael van Gerwen vs Gary Anderson in a bumper Judgement Night.

- 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
