Gerwyn Price Triumphs In Dublin On Night Three

Gerwyn Price Triumphs in Dublin – Premier League Darts Night 3 Recap

Gerwyn Price delivered a commanding performance to claim victory in Night 3 of the Premier League Darts in Dublin, defeating Nathan Aspinall 6-3 in the final. The 2021 world champion showcased his elite form, overcoming world champion Luke Littler and world number one Luke Humphries on his path to the title.

Price Ends Night Win Drought

This triumph marks Price’s first Premier League night win since Event 11 in 2023, a season where he ultimately finished as runner-up in the play-offs.

The final saw an intense battle between Price and Aspinall, with both players exchanging breaks in the early stages. However, Price took control with a crucial break in leg seven, going 4-3 ahead. Holding his throw and breaking again in the decisive leg, the Welshman sealed a dominant victory.

Key Stats from Price’s Victory

  • Average: 100.57
  • Checkout Success Rate: 50%
  • Consecutive Wins Against Littler: 5

Despite his win, Price swiftly exited the stage without conducting a post-match interview. Earlier in the evening, he emphasized his intent to return to his best, saying:

“I want to be a tough nut to crack for everyone. That is what I used to be. That is where I was two or three years ago, and I’ve maybe slipped off the radar a little bit, but I am coming back. My game is in a great place, and my mind is in a good place.”

Aspinall’s Encouraging Run

Nathan Aspinall’s journey to the final was a morale booster. The world number 11 has been open about his struggles with ‘dartitis,’ a condition that can cause a mental block when throwing on stage. His performance in Dublin, including a semi-final win over Michael van Gerwen, showcased his resilience.
