Peter Wright will face Michael Smith in the semi-finals of the 2021 Grand Slam of Darts after ending the run of Fallon Sherrock in a 16-13 victory.
Wright fended off a late comeback of sorts from Sherrock who looked to produce more heroics on the Grand Slam stage.
But it wasn't to be as 'Snakebite' surged through with a 100.3 average to 98.9 for Sherrock who proved she could do it over the longer format.

- 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
