"This could be a turning point for me" - Defiant Peter Wright not giving up hope of making Premier League play-offs

Although he may sit rock bottom of the table with just three wins all season, Peter Wright showed signs of life last week reaching his first night final of the year. Despite suffering defeat in that final, Wright is confident the tide has turned.

“I believed last week and the week before that I could still make the Play-Offs,” insist Wright to the official PDC website. Snakebite defeated both Gerwyn Price and Michael Smith last week in Birmingham before losing to Jonny Clayton in the final.

“It just needs to click and hopefully it will start clicking now. Last week was a positive one for me," Snakebite continues. "My Premier League form had not been good, so it was nice to get a couple of wins under my belt. I didn’t expect to beat Gezzy because he’s a man on fire at the moment, but I took my chances."

Wright now has 5 points to his name, 10 fewer than the man currently in the 4th and final play-off position, Michael Smith. Nevertheless, with six weeks remaining, Wright is adamant he is still in with a shout. 

“I think this could be a turning point for me. I believe all the other guys I’ve got to play from now on are going to be more wary, instead of thinking they’re playing the whipping boy!”
