Wonderful Wales thrash Denmark to open up World Cup of Darts campaign

Welsh duo Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton have lived up to their favourite tag at the World Cup of Darts in some style seeing off Denmark with ease 8-2 to reach the Quarter-Finals.
Price and Clayton will look for only a second World Cup of Darts title with Australia winning last year either side of their maiden win, but the run of Vladimir Andersen and Benjamin Drue Reus for Denmark was ended.
To begin the tie, they showed a sign of their brilliance with an 11-darter featuring back to back maximums from Price for 1-1.
It was a trio of 13 and 14-darters from there as they surged into a 5-1 lead and three away with ease from the finishing line.
Both gave Denmark a glimmer of hope as they couldn't go 6-1 up and Andersen reduced the deficit to three going into the interval.
But that was a mere hold and a consolation as Price hit a monster 121 checkout to go towards the brink at 7-2.
It was Price who sealed it with a 70 checkout to seal it. Statement made from Wales in an average just shy of 100.

- 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
