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.

- 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

- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
