Michael van Gerwen continues to reign supreme in Premier League Darts. After weekly titles in Dublin and Exeter, 'Mighty Mike' captured his third consecutive weekly title in Liverpool on Thursday night.
With comfortable wins over Jonny Clayton (6-2) and Peter Wright (6-1), Van Gerwen easily reached the final match. In the final against Michael Smith, however, the Dutchman had to dug deep.
After an early break lead, Van Gerwen took a 3-1 lead via a 14-darter, but then Smith took control of the match. 'Bullyboy' fought his way back to 3-3 with a 111 finish and a 12-darter and then took over the lead with an 11-dart leg.
However, Van Gerwen broke back in turn and took a 5-4 lead with two 14-darters in a row. Smith missed a chance on the bullseye for 5-5, after which Van Gerwen finished off the match as he landed his dart in the double 10.
With this triumph in the Beatle City, Van Gerwen is now eight points in front in the Premier League Darts with 20 points. Smith managed to take over second place from Nathan Aspinall through his final spot.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
