The second semi-final is set on the final night of regular season action in Premier League Darts featuring two players who missed out on the play-offs having one final flourish in Newcastle.
For a third week running, it was Michael Smith facing Michael van Gerwen and it is back-to-back victories for 'Bully Boy' over 'The Green Machine' who lost out 6-4 albeit already being qualified well in advance for the Berlin play-offs.
Van Gerwen moved ahead early on he produced a 155 checkout but Smith followed up with a 114 checkout to go 3-2 up before hitting a 78 checkout to back that up.
He continued to maintain his advantage from there and was soon one away with double nine. Van Gerwen took out 74 to keep himself in the tie but was relying on Smith missing chances to win and the St Helens ace produced double 20 to not hand him that opportunity.
Next up is Gerwyn Price who similarly narrowly missed out on the play-offs as he saw off James Wade who will be heading to Berlin in June.
Price sailed into a 5-2 lead early on against Wade but missed one match dart and a comeback was threatened but in the end 'The Iceman' froze out 'The Machine' 6-4 to move through with the other semi-final seeing Jonny Clayton face Joe Cullen.

- 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
