Gerwyn Price put his latest title success down to a roadside stop for a bit of KFC. The world No 3 won the Players Championship on day three of the PDC winter series in Coventry.
Last Sunday’s World Cup of Darts final saw Wales lift the trophy for the first time after beating England. It was clear that Gerwyn Price was the player of the weekend, but what about his partner, Jonny Clayton? James Dodd takes looks at the journey made by “The Ferret” and examines whether he, too, can become one of the world’s best. He may have triumphed at the World Cup of Darts and ensured Wales are the new world champions, but it hasn’t always been the happiest of times for Jonny Clayton on the biggest stages. The World Championships have seen the Llanelli-born player reach a modest high point of the third round in his last four years.
Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton triumphed in a doubles decider to book their quarter-final spot at the World Cup of Darts in Austria. The pre-tournament favourites came through 2-1 with a 4 legs to nil victory in the doubles over Scotland’s John Henderson and Robert Thornton.

Gerwyn Price has slipped to No 3 in the world after seeing Peter Wright crowned European Champ. The 35-year-old was beaten by the reigning world champ in the second round then saw his rival scoop the £120,000 first prize.
Jonny Clayton is ready to let the darts flow in tonight’s European Championships semi-final but insists he will be happy to win ugly. The Pontyberem thrower made the last four of a PDC major tournament for the third time after a 10-4 win over Dirk van Duijvenbode in Germany.
Jonny Clayton is enjoying his best-ever run at the European Championships as he booked his place in Saturday’s quarter-finals in Germany. The Pontyberem thrower sealed a 10-6 win over Jose De Sousa who was unable to repeat his first-round heroics when he produced a nine-dart finish.
Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton booked their places in the second round of the Unibet European Championships in Germany. World No 2 Price cruised through his first-round match over Kim ‘The Hurricane’ Huybrechts in Oberhausen.
Gerwyn Price will warm up for the World Cup of Darts in November – where he will carry Welsh hopes alongside Johnny Clayton – by competing in the European Championships which start in Germany on Thursday. Not only has Price become the form player in the world right now, but James Dodd argues the Welshman will soon overtake Michael van Gerwen as the official world number one, too. Earlier this month, Gerwyn Price, the one-man darts winning machine from Markham, won his fourth major televised event – the World Grand Prix – after winning the 2018 and 2019 Grand Slam of Darts as well as the World Series of Darts Finals last month. He has now won four of the major titles in the sport inside the past two years.
