Gary Anderson and Michael Smith both tasted success as the Premier League hit Belfast.
For Smith, it is a 6th win so far and a semi-final appearance is very much within his grasp.
His 7-2 win over Gerwyn Price means the Welshman is eliminated from the competition, but Smith stays second in the table hot on the heels of leader Michael van Gerwen.
“I wasn’t really at my best but I keep getting away with it and I haven’t yet played anywhere near my best. Hopefully that’s to come now we are getting to

It’s an 8th PDC title for Ian White.
The Unicorn man tasted victory for the first time in nearly two years in Milton Keynes on Sunday as he took the honours in Players Championship 6.

He started with a 6-3 win over Luke Woodhouse, then demolished Maik Langendorf 6-0, before back-to-back successes against Team Unicorn stablemates.

Dobey’s return to form continued in style. He has worked very hard at his game and is reaping the rewards. His only other final was way back in October 2016.
Van Gerwen beat four Unicorn players on his way to his latest
