Scots duo ready for a double top test
GARY ANDERSON and Peter Wright face crunch nights and make-or-break head to heads in tonight’s Premier League.
The Scots pair play the final game in Liverpool in a contest that will have a huge bearing in the battle for a play-off place in London next month.
Anderson also opens the night against Dave Chisnall and he said: “I must be doing something right as we’ve suddenly had hundreds of mail from folk all around the world. We’ve had fans writing to me from Germany, Czech Republic, China and loads from America.
“It just goes to show how big darts has become. It’s crazy to think that fans are following me halfway around the world.
“It’s not so long ago I was getting booed everywhere I went so it’s a great feeling to have so much support around the globe.
“The two-match weeks put even more pressure on you but I’ll turn up and do my thing and see where it takes me.”
Wright’s first game is against Michael van Gerwen before facing Anderson and he said: “It’s a big night for me. Every point is vital and you can’t relax.
““Everyone starts playing well now because the playoffs are in sight.”
Third-placed Raymond van Barneveld comes up against Adrian Lewis tonight in a game which sees two form players clash in another big play-off battle.
