By Paul Jones Defending champion Gerwyn Price set up an all-Welsh final at the World Grand Prix with a stunning 4-2 comeback victory over Stephen Bunting.

By Tom Prosser  Welsh darts star Gerwyn Price dug deep to come from behind and defeat Mervyn King 3-1 to secure his place in the quarter-finals of the World Grand Prix.

By Tom Prosser Welsh duo Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton won the World Cup of Darts as a team last year but tonight they are set to do battle in the last 16 of the prestigious World Matchplay tournament in Blackpool. This match not only brings two Welshman together but two of the most in-form players in the world on current form. Price is the world number one and current world champion whilst Clayton has won both the Masters and the Premier League within the last six months.

Jonny Clayton says he will go into the Ladbrokes UK Open full of confidence after continuing his stunning start to 2021.

Despite winning the World Cup for Wales and enjoying his biggest individual career win so far, Pontyberem darts player Jonny Clayton says he plans to hold onto his full-time job for the time being. Having lifted the World Cup of Darts alongside fellow Welshman Gerwyn Price last year, Clayton, continued his remarkable rise by winning his first televised PDC event, the Ladbrokes Masters, last month. The victory saw Clayton pocket the £60,000 top prize and gain entry into the 2021 Premier League – a competition pitting 10 of the world’s best players.

Jonny Clayton admitted he was over the moon after being crowned PDC Ladbrokes Masters champ – and booking his place in the Premier League series. The Pontyberem thrower triumphed in Milton Keynes after fellow Welshman and world champ Gerwyn Price was beaten in the semi-finals.

The Welsh regions have started January with a sense of adventure, says Harri Morgan. But this new year resolution has to extend beyond the month and stretch towards the seasons ahead if the game is going to re-connect with its audience. Jumping on a sporting bandwagon – for which you have little interest during the rest of the year – is a great way to provide purpose to the days between Christmas and New Year. For many, this would have consisted of following Gerwyn Price’s journey to glory in the PDC World Darts Championship.
