Van Gerwen tops the league phase of Premier League Darts for the eighth time in nine appearances
PDC
Michael Van Gerwen has topped the Premier League Darts table for the eighth time in nine years as he heads into the play-offs on Friday night.
Van Gerwen who last year failed to qualify for the top four led the way with 23 points ahead of Jose de Sousa.
Nathan Aspinall himself had a chance to finish top but lost out to De Sousa in their final game which enabled the Portuguese ace to finish second. They will now face off in the semi-finals tonight.
As will Van Gerwen and Jonny Clayton with ‘The Ferret’ leaving it late but he saw off Dimitri Van den Bergh in their crunch clash to secure his spot. As a result, the latter Belgian finishes fifth and ahead of James Wade, Peter Wright and Gary Anderson with the higher the rank, the more prize money on offer.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- 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
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- 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
