Wright to face Pipe in final of Players Championship 19 in Barnsley
PDCTuesday, 16 July 2019 at 17:30
The final at Players Championship 19 has been confirmed with Peter Wright looking for back-to-back titles but his first PDC ranking one of the year as he faces off against Justin Pipe shortly.
Wright breezed past World Cup of Darts team-mate Gary Anderson in a 7-3 win which saw him average 99 as he continues his good form which is just in time for the World Matchplay which begins this weekend.
His opponent though is into a first final in four years with Pipe seeing off Ron Meulenkamp 6-4 in his semi-final. The Taunton ace has shown glimmers of his form of old returning this year but has yet to make that breakthrough.
Today has been that breakthrough for Pipe, for players like 'The Force' who have made it into the latter stages the fact that they are not involved in Blackpool will likely make it easier for them to perform.
In terms of Pipe that is the case today with the multiple time ranking winner through to face 'Snakebite' and he has a golden opportunity to make it into a memorable day in Barnsley.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
