Gerwyn Price crashes out of World Darts Championship in major boost to Luke Littler’s hopes of reaching final
GERWYN PRICE was embroiled in double trouble as he was dumped out of the PDC World Darts Championship – his worst display for five years.
The Welshman, 38, beat Brendan Dolan in a last-leg decider exactly three years ago today as he went on to lift Big Old Sid behind-closed-doors.
But on this anniversary date, Northern Ireland ace Dolan, 50, got his revenge back in dramatic style he prevailed 4-2 in the last 32.
Price, 38, has his issues with the crowd – though some Ally Pally fans did sing his name – but he only has himself to blame as he missed a whopping 23 attempts at the outer beds.
For the Iceman, this is the earliest round he has been eliminated from the Worlds since December 2019.
For the History Maker – who now plays either Scotsman Gary Anderson or Croatian Boris Krcmar on Saturday in round four – this is his best run now since the 2018 competition.
Dolan kept his temperament and composure throughout and took out checkouts of 144, 130 and 120 as he excelled himself against the odds against the fifth seed.
Not only is it the biggest win of his life on the biggest stage but he has blown open the second quarter of the main draw, which involves 16-year-old Boy Wonder Luke Littler.
