Gerwyn Price is relishing his favourites tag as he begins his bid for a hat-trick of Grand Slam of Darts titles. The Markham marksman is 7/2 with sponsors Boyle Sports going into his opening match in Coventry tonight against Japan’s reigning women’s world champ Mikuru Suzuki.

Two-time defending champ Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton will face each other in the BoyleSports Grand Slam of Darts. The duo – who won the World Cup of Darts for the first time last week – have been drawn together in the same group G for the event which starts on Monday.

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 and Jonny Clayton launched their bid for the World Cup of Darts crown with a crushing 5-0 whitewash of Russia. The Wales duo showed why they are the bookies’ favourites for the title with an impressive first-round display.

Jonny Clayton admits he is relishing the chance to partner Gerwyn Price as Wales look to win the World Cup of Darts for the first time. The duo get their campaign underway against Russia in the Salzburgarena in Austria on Friday (6 November) having been installed as the bookies’ favourites.

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.

New world No 2 Gerwyn Price will lead second-seed Wales at the Bet Victor World Cup of Darts next month. The 35-year-old will be joined by Jonny Clayton in the 32-team event at the Salzburgarena in Austria on 6-8 November.

Gerwyn Price is chasing more than the £110,000 winner’s cheque at the Boyle Sports World Grand Prix. The 35-year-old will also move up one place to second in the world if he wins the tournament in Coventry.
