Team Unicorn star Gary Anderson proved yet again why he is a top player and a top person as he became the first man to qualify for the knock-out stages at the Grand Slam of Darts. The Scot beat Berry van Peer 5-1 with a superb average of nearly 112 to go through to the last 16 but was full of praise and support for the young Dutchman who is struggling badly with dartitis.  Van Peer has overcome the problem once before but it returned at this week's PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship. He somehow

It was another dramatic night in Wolverhampton, but Michael Smith has made it through to the knock-out stages at the Grand Slam. But he was forced to face a nail-biting wait before qualification was finally confirmed. The Unicorn man did his bit as he won a thrilling last leg decider to beat BDO No.1 Mark McGeeney.....but he was then left sweating on the result of the last match in the group between Mensur Suljovic and James Wilson. Quite simply, a Suljovic win and Smith was through, but a Wilson

Gary Anderson and Michael Smith shrugged off the first day nerves to record vital victories at the Grand Slam of Darts.  Anderson was forced to produce his best against talented BDO youngster Cameron Menzies.  The Grand Slam is high on Gary's wish list and he is aiming high this week in Wolverhampton, but he had to work for his 5-3 win. After missing darts to break in the opening leg, the Scot his first maximum and then broke to leg three. He should have gone 4-1 up but missed four doubles,

Wade will face Phil Taylor, Robbie Green and BDO World Trophy winner Peter Machin, while Smith

Luke Humphries is celebrating the biggest day of his darting life! He has won the 2017 PDC Unicorn Development Tour and with it earns a prized place at the World Championship and a Tour Card to play full-time on the PDC circuit next year.  The final weekend of the Development Tour also saw big success for Team Unicorn youngster Ted Evetts (pictured), who claimed a memorable maiden title.  But it was the 22-year-old from Newbury who claimed the big prize....Humphries won event 20 on Sunday,

Team Unicorn youngster Dimitri van den Bergh produced the performance of his life to reach his first big TV quarter-final.  The young Belgian beat Raymond van Barneveld 6-4 to set up an all Unicorn quarter-final at the World Series against James Wade.  Meanwhile Unicorn superstar Gary Anderson wowed the Scottish crowd, while Kyle Anderson lost out in a thriller to Rob Cross. But Van den Bergh was exceptional. Twice in the opening three legs he hit six perfect darts and Van Barneveld didn't

Gary Anderson missed out on the big prize at the World Series Finals in Scotland.  The Unicorn man was beaten 11-6 by Michael van Gerwen but the Scot put up a terrific show against an inspired Dutchman.  It was a thrilling final, but Anderson couldn't quite lift himself as Van Gerwen won the World Series Finals for a third straight year in Glasgow.  Gary gave it a real go but will regret missing three darts at D16 to take the opening leg against the throw, only for Van Gerwen to nail a 103

Unicorn youngsters Dimitri van den Bergh and Chris Dobey stole the show on the opening night of the 2017 Ladbrokes World Series Finals.  The Belgian was at his brilliant best to send Michael Smith packing in the all Unicorn clash on Friday at the Braehead Arena. The 6-1 scoreline tells its own story! And Chris Dobey produced his best performance of the year to stun Mensur Suljovic and he will now play his mentor Gary Anderson in the last 16! He was 0-3 down against the World No.7 but then found
