In between a Premier League playing day and two Players Championships, Michael van Gerwen was a guest in Wales on Friday for an exhibition tournament.
Van Gerwen made his appearance at the 'Ace of Sports' tournament in Mynydd Isa, where he played against a variety of young and more seasoned players. For instance, he took on an 11-year-old talent. "I would have been jealous of how you played at your age when I was eleven," Van Gerwen said.

Finally, Van Gerwen gave away a shirt, which will later be auctioned for charity.
