"We both want to beat each other, it's competitive": Lewy Williams practicing with recent major winner Ross Smith ahead of PDC World Darts Championship

Lewy Williams sealed qualification for the PDC World Darts Championship through the Development Tour and will make his second appearance at the Alexandra Palace.

Williams admits though that it will only sink in that he is playing on the biggest stage again when he arrives and its all about continuing to improve ahead of the tournament.

"I think it'll sink in when I get to the venue like last year, don't think it sinks in until you get the atmosphere going there but I'm buzzing to be back there really," said Williams to Tungsten Tales.

'The Prince of Wales' sealed victory on his debut last year before losing to Gabriel Clemens with an aim of bettering the second round this time.

"Getting the win was the main thing I wanted to do, obviously I didn't play to the best of my potential in the second round. I can take a lot of experience from last year into this year and I'm really looking forward to it and I'm fairly confident going into it."

"I think I just tried too hard in the second game. I felt a lot of pressure while in the first game I felt no pressure. It was a massive learning curve for myself and I'll try to put it right this year."

Becoming a father could add extra pressure but for the Welshman, it hasn't given too many sleepless nights and he has been practicing with Ross Smith due to being based in the Kent area now.

"She's good as gold, she sleeps through the night. Everytime she sleeps during the day, I'll be in the bar having a practice, it's great.

"Ross is a fantastic bloke, he's a great dart player as well, We both want to beat each other, it's competitive."
