He came into the Players Championship Finals as the No.1 seed and all the pressure that goes with it. But Ian White took centre stage on the opening day in Minehead with a blistering display. And Gary Anderson wasn’t far behind White in terms of performance! In all 14 Team Unicorn players came to the Players Championship party. But White stole the show as he set up a 2nd Round clash with Brendan Dolan after a 6-2 victory over Scott Taylor. His end average of 111.12 was the second highest in 11-year

Lee Parker, Unicorn Production Director commented;  “This is great news for everyone involved and the fans of Jelle Klaasen. Joint sponsorship is of course not unusual on the main Asian tours, with Japans no.1 and our very own Team Unicorn star Seigo Asada sharing

There was heartache for Gary Anderson at the Grand Slam as he fell to an agonising defeat in the final. The Unicorn man was beaten 16-13 by Gerwyn Price in Wolverhampton on Sunday in what was an ill-tempered final. Having seen off Michael van Gerwen in the semi-finals, Anderson got embroiled in a war of words with Price and from 13-11 in front, he lost five straight legs as Price became the first Welshman to claim a PDC Major. It really was there for the taking but Gary couldn’t take his chances

Devon Petersen will be back at the World Championship. The Team Unicorn ace won the African qualifier on Sunday to make it to the Alexandra Palace for a sixth time. It will be a huge relief for Devon who has endured a tough year on the PDC Pro Tour. But he will get another chance to shine on the biggest stage in World darts next month. At the qualifier in Cape Town on Sunday, Petersen held his nerve as he justified his favourites tag to go through from a strong field of 64 players. He dropped only

Gary Anderson will face Michael van Gerwen in a blockbuster semi-final at the Grand Slam of Darts. The Unicorn star was too good for Michael Unterbuchner as he swept to a 16-6 victory on Saturday night in Wolverhampton. Van Gerwen saw off a brave challenge from Jonny Clayton as he went through courtesy of a 16-12 win. So over to you Gary! “I didn’t feel great to be honest. My back was playing up a little again so I just needed to focus and get the job done,” he said. “Michael has played well all

It wasn’t to be for Dimitri van den Bergh. The Unicorn youngster was beaten 16-9 in the Grand Slam quarter-finals by Mensur Suljovic on Friday night. But it has still been an amazing week for the 24-year-old Belgian who showed yet again that he is going to have a big say in the world of darts for many years to come. And of course he has that history making 9-darter in the bank, another quarter-final in a TV ‘Major’ and so much to look forward to. Yes, he was desperately disappointed afterwards, but

It was a sprint for Gary Anderson as he reached the Grand Slam quarter-finals. But Unicorn teammates Michael Smith and James Wade were beaten on Thursday. Smith lost a Grand Slam Classic to Michael van Gerwen, while Wade suffered a shock defeat at the hands of young German Michael Unterbuchner. Anderson was irresistible in despatching Wesley Harms 10-2 and will play surprise package Unterbuchner. A near 102 average, six 180s, some brilliant finishing with 63% on the doubles. In the second session

What an incredible night for Team Unicorn ace Dimitri van den Bergh! Through to the Grand Slam quarter-finals for the first time after hitting an incredible 9 dart leg in his 10-6 victory over Stephen Bunting. A history making night for the young Belgian. Only the fourth 9 darter in Grand Slam history and a £25,000 bonus to go with it! “I just can’t believe that happened!” he said. “It is amazing. My first ever 9-darter. I was shaking and it is difficult to take it all in.” “But also to get through

Michael Smith made it three wins out of three to top his group at the Grand Slam. But his reward is a last 16 showdown against World No.1 Michael van Gerwen! The Team Unicorn star demolished Raymond van Barneveld 5-0 on Tuesday night with a 99 average, but because Van Gerwen only finished runner-up in Group A, the pair will go toe-to-toe on Thursday. “I played well and Van Gerwen will bring the best out of me. I have the game to beat him, so let him worry about me. That never entered my mind against

It came to down to one match….one all-Unicorn clash to decide who went through to the knock out stages at the Grand Slam. And it was PDC Unicorn World Youth Champion Dimitri van den Bergh who won the day as he beat BDO star Mark McGeeney 5-1 to reach the last 16, where he will face a clash with Stephen Bunting on Wednesday night. Dimitri was too good and drew on the pain of losing a 9-dart shoot-out at the Grand Slam two years ago as motivation on Monday night. “It was a painful experience and I
