Peter Wright is through to the Quarter-Finals at European Championship after fending off a late comeback from Gerwyn Price in a thrilling tie in Oberhausen.
Wright won through 10-6 with a 102.7 average and seven 180's in a high quality clash between two of the World's best which saw the World Champion come out on top.
Wright led Price early on at 2-1 with the later taking out 102 to trail and at the break, it was still advantage to 'Snakebite' who broke the throw to go ahead at 3-2 up.
He used that as a catalyst though and returned from the break to take command in the tie with an 87 checkout for an 11-darter and a 5-3 lead.
He broke throw once more at 6-3 up on double nine with Price missing the chance at a 127 to hold. By the next interval, he was four clear and seemingly cruising towards the finishing line at 7-3 up.
He went one away at 9-3 up but Price aimed to get himself back into the tie following this with a 148 checkout in a last gasp effort.
A 127 checkout and an 80 checkout saw him reduce these arrears further to 9-6 but he missed the chance to convert a 92 checkout to keep himself in proceedings from there and he claimed a 10-6 win.

- 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
