Players Championship Finals Result
I played Danny Noppert in the Players Championship Finals losing 6-1.
I am looking forward to the Worlds starting on December 15th and would really like a decent run.
I haven’t really enjoyed this year of darts so hopefully if a small crowd is allowed it would feel more normal.
Winter Series
Well that was an terrible week of darts at the Ricoh in Coventry. I’m not playing bad it’s just not happening for me.Back on the practise board to get myself ready for The Players Championship Finals again being staged at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry from November 27-29 !!!!
Cornwall
A lovely few days spent in Cornwall with my wife before lockdown.
Such a beautiful part of the country.
World Series Results
I qualified last weekend for the World Series and ended the hopes of Simon Whitlock in a thriller to end the opening night taking out double 12 for the game.
I felt great in that game but it was a very late night and I felt exhausted the next day and couldn’t find any rhythm against Rob Cross whatsoever going down 6-0.
Very disappointed but I have to say it’s great to be home.
I didn’t manage to qualify for the World Grand Prix this year so the next time I will be playing will be in the Winter Series later this year.
Off out for a ride on my bike now!!!!
Thank you to my sponsors: Winmau and The Wigley Group
Autumn Series Results
I managed to qualify for the bwin World Series of Darts Finals this week but very disappointed that I haven’t qualified for The World Grand Prix this year.
The World Series is a 24-player event and will be staged at the Salzburgarena from September 18-20, being the first PDC tournament to be staged in front of a live crowd for six months and will be televised on ITV4.
I am last game on Friday evening against Simon Whitlock

Betfred World Matchplay
Well I lost 11-9 to Adie Lewis in the matchplay. My foot came off the peddle in the last couple of legs but I played well and it was a good game to watch. It was my 21st matchplay and my 20th consecutive appearance so I am very proud to have been part of it but it was very strange playing without a crowd.
Roll on the next tournament !!!!
