Peter Wright lost out to Dimitri van den Bergh in a 6-4 loss to continue his pointless run in this year's Premier League Darts to three weeks.

But Wright put it down to conditions on the stage not being at their best why he didn't win.

"It was windy up there, so my darts were just lying funny. It was hard work. I was just struggling with the wind on stage to be honest," said Wright to Online Darts.

But also admitted the pressure got to him as a result of Gary Anderson not being there and him having to anchor Scottish hopes.

"I was looking forward to it, I was expecting to come here and win and I'm gutted I was in charge of the match and then it's just missing six darts at double, maybe could have won it. Change the Flight system next game but ifs and buts don't win games.

"It's extra pressure, the only Scotsman in the field. We normally have Gary, he is the ambassador of Scotland. It's hard to replace Gary in his shoes, I'm gutted for Scotland and for myself."

"The fans gave me a lovely welcome and I just feel like I let them down."
