Wright ends home hopes with Galliano win, Clayton eases past Bunting at Gibraltar Darts Trophy
PDCSaturday, 15 October 2022 at 20:38
Now back to World Number One, Peter Wright began the final European Tour of the season with victory seeing off home hope, Craig Galliano at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy in a 6-2 win.
Wright hit a 96 average, a high checkout of 116 and 42.9% on the doubles as he reeled off five consecutive legs and showed his class against the World Cup star.
Galliano would have dared to dream at 2-1 up with his celebration for the 120 checkout saying it all but after breaking, he failed to consolidate and Wright found his rhythm.
Breaking back, he repeated the feat at 4-2 with a 116 checkout before holding on double nine and despite initially missing match darts, he finally got over the line on double five.
While for Jonny Clayton, it was similarly emphatic as 'The Ferret' sealed a 6-2 win over Stephen Bunting with a 93.6 average, two 180's, a high checkout of 122 and 54.5% on the doubles.
This as Bunting could not reproduce his brilliance from yesterday in taking down Daryl Gurney. The former now sets up an intriguing tie with Josh Rock in the Last 16 which is bound to be one of the ties of the round.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
