Peter Wright has won his first match in Aberdeen during the eleventh week of the Premier League Darts. Snakebite won 6-5 against Joe Cullen.

Wright trailed 2-4 against Cullen, but the Scot made up for his break in the eighth leg with a 14-darter. Wright then threw a 13-darter to take over the lead. Cullen levelled the score with a 57 finish, but then Wright took the win with a 13-darter.

In the last four the reigning world champion will play Jonny Clayton. The Welshman beat crowd favourite Gary Anderson 6-2.

New format

The eight participants play a tournament sixteen times. It will be arranged so that a player meets the other participants twice in the quarter-finals. During two weeks of play, in the eighth and sixteenth week, the draw is determined by league standings heading into each night.

Points can be scored with results in the sixteen tournaments. A semi-final earns two points, a second place three points and a tournament win five points and a £10,000 bonus. Based on these points the new Premier League Darts ranking is formed. The four best players advance to the Premier League Darts play-offs.
