Darts Duo Gerwyn Price And Jonny Clayton At The Double In Germany

By Gareth James

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.

Markham marksman Price raced into a 4-0 lead before the Belgian darter clawed back a leg before the break.

But The Iceman  – who finished runner-up last year to Rob Cross who crashed out on the opening day this time – quickly wrapped up a 6-1 victory.

Price averaged over 103 on each visit to send out a warning to his rivals for the title.

Clayton had a tougher battle against Max Hopp but came out on top in an 11-leg thriller.

The Pontyberme thrower survived two missed match darts as The Ferret took a 6-5 victory.

Clayton twice fought back from 2-0 and 5-3 down to book a second-round match with Jose De Sousa

The Portuguese ace landed a nine-dart finish on his way to a 6-3 victory over Jeffrey de Zwaan.
