Glen Durrant is out.

 

A bright start to his PDC career, but he is out of the UK Open in the Third Round, losing 6-2 to Gavin Carlin.

 

Bloody hell what a way to win the UK Open with a 170 checkout. Nathan Aspinell take a bow. If he isn't in the Premier League next year then they must be something wrong with the organisers. Sheer bottle he had today. In the Top 16/, seeded for the World Matchplay. Wow. One of my favourite darts moments this decade.

Aspinall knocks Lewis out of the Top 16.

Barney is getting divorced (maybe that is why he is not quite focused lately) Although sad to see how his form has dipped recently.

 

 

Raymond van Barneveld was eliminated from the Premier League following a crushing 7-1 defeat to Daryl Gurney on a difficult night for the Dutch legend in Rotterdam.

Raymond van Barneveld has retired with immediate effect after a 7-1 Premier League loss to Michael van Gerwen in Rotterdam.

 

The Dutchman's elimination from the tournament was confirmed on Wednesday after his defeat by Daryl Gurney.

 

After a rousing reception in front of a packed home crowd, reigning world champion Van Gerwen raced to victory.

 

"For me, I've made a decision, I'm done now," the 51-year-old said in his post-match interview with Sky Sports.

 

"I don't want the pain anymore. It's good to see that everyone loves you but they don't have one single clue what I'm going through.

 

"It's pain every single week for for the last three or four years. There's never a feeling, apart from winning the World Cup with Michael [Van Gerwen], like 'Hey, Ray, come on, we're back'."

Scrap the above post

 

Raymond van Barneveld will continue to play for the rest of the season, despite announcing his intention to retire with immediate effect in Rotterdam.

Well this is an unexpected move.

Gerwyn Price says he will contest his £21,500 fine and suspended three-month ban for his behaviour at the Grand Slam of Darts in November 2018.

 

 

Well those antics he did in the Grand Slam of Darts final against Gary Anderson was certainly a step too far.

 

 

Michael van Gerwen took the final two legs to rescue a 7-7 draw with James Wade in a thrilling contest which saw the Dutchman average 106.7 to Wade's 103.6 in the Premier League in Birmingham.

Steve Beaton has just hit a nine-darter at the German Darts Open, the 1996 BDO World Champion has still got it.

 

 

Michael van Gerwen claimed his first German Darts Open title with victory over Ian White in the final in Saarbrucken.

 

Michael van Gerwen is the 2019 Austrian Darts Open champion after an 8-7 victory over Ian White in the final.
