Wade continues to shine in Premier League Darts: "You think ‘bloody hell all those hours of practice’ it all pays off"

James Wade continues to produce in this year's Premier League Darts returning after a slow start to put himself in a very likely play-off spot come next month in Berlin.

Speaking after his triumph in Dublin, he summed up his mindset on the game currently and how it feels like to get the rub of the green for once.

Wade 'should give himself more credit' according to Mardle: "He's one of the most successful players that's ever lived"

“I’m super happy. It’s not very often I’m short of answers. I’ve played among the greatest darts players tonight and I’ve prevailed to the top. I’m moving onwards and upwards which is quite surprising," said Wade to Unicorn Darts after winning in Dublin.

“At times even people like me get fortunate. But what you are doing in darts, the younger and less experienced players have to learn that if you are constantly putting yourself in the right position, you get to a point where you can choke or move on.

“I think I’ve proved that for the last five or six weeks. It’s great to have a positive interview. I’m far happier than most people in the Premier League right now.

“Sometimes you stand back and look at the dartboard and you think ‘just show yourself a bit of respect, just have a go at it’. When they go in you think ‘bloody hell all those hours of practice’. It all pays off.

“But another night you couldn’t hit a cow’s backside with a banjo. It’s all relevant but tonight it all went my way.

“I feel it was fair. Jonny went in front but I didn’t feel he was the superior dart player. I just think at the end of the night, I think the best dart player on the night won.”
