Wilkinson claims PDC Home Tour Group 13 with clean sweep victory
PDCWednesday, 29 April 2020 at 21:55
Carl Wilkinson has cemented himself as the surprise package of tonight's PDC Home Tour claiming Group 13 in a clean sweep after an impressive series from the Yorkshireman.
Wilkinson began the night with a 5-0 win over Matthew Edgar which saw him average 101 and followed that up with edging past Callan Rydz in a 5-3 win which put him in pole position.
Steve Beaton looked like he was the player to trouble him but it was Matthew Edgar instead who came closest to dispelling the dominance of Wilkinson. He saw off 'The Bronzed Adonis' in a 5-1 win in a really impressive display.
Despite that though a defeat from Callan Rydz who up to then had not really produced his best saw Edgar's hopes basically ended. Wilkinson had a simple equation going into the final game, he only needed two legs against Beaton and he claimed them to join the line-up for the second round.
As a result, he finished top with six points (3 wins and 0 defeats with +10 leg difference) well ahead of Steve Beaton, Callan Rydz and Matthew Edgar who all finished in the requisite positions all with two points each.

- Saying Littler failed at lakeside is a little harsh. He lost to Veenstra with a record 104 average.BandB05-12-2025
- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
