Wright on near miss at nine-dart finish during Premier League tie against Gurney: "The dart at double 12 was awful - I was shaking!"

Peter Wright claimed another brilliant win which threw Daryl Gurney's Premier League future in doubt until Rob Cross lost as he moved up to second in the standings.
Wright spoke afterwards and wasn't too enamoured by this performance but was glad to claim the points; and he also discussed a near miss at a nine-dart finish admitting he was 'shaking'.
"I felt really weird and I think I played rubbish tonight - I didn't settle but I got away with the win," said Wright. "Daryl wasn't at his best but he had a lot of pressure on him tonight.
"There's a long way to go still. It's a nice position to be in but there are seven games left."
"The nine-darter would have been amazing but the dart at double 12 was awful - I was shaking! I'll have to go and practice double 12!"

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
