Thursday, May 12, 2022 11:15 p.m. - Dart News from dartn.deOn the 14th evening of the Premier League season, Gerwyn Price was able to book his second win of the day.In the Sheffield Utilita Arena he asserted himself in the final against Michael van Gerwen.Due to this success, the fight for fourth place in particular experienced an upswing two games before the end, because Peter Wright once again said goodbye in the quarterfinals.Gary Anderson also had no points and therefore has no chance in the race for the playoffs.It was already announced yesterday that James Wade will have to skip this Premier League matchday after his health-related withdrawal from the European Darts Open last weekend.The game against Joe Cullen was legally rated 6-0 to "The Rockstar".Gary Anderson lost 4:6 in the opening game of the evening against Gerwyn Price and therefore mathematically has no chance of a playoff place.Price laid the foundation for his success early on with a double break to make it 3-0 before Anderson hit the scoreboard with a 128 finish.With a strong 113 checkout to make it 4:2 and an 11-darter to make it 5:3, "The Iceman" kept his nerve when throwing himself and finally secured two points with a 16-darter to make it 6:4.Only twice did Michael van Gerwen let his opponent throw doubles in a 6-1 win over Peter Wright.Wright had both opportunities to do so in the second leg to equalize in 13 darts to make it 1-1.From then on van Gerwen dominated thanks to the better scores and secured five legs in a row.Among them were a 10- and 13-darter.With his one-two on the Pro Tour over the past two days, Michael Smith was able to gain a lot of self-confidence.Still, he had to work hard for his 6-5 win over Jonny Clayton, turning a 2-5 deficit in the process.Clayton provided a lesson in finishing with checkouts of 102, 100 and 110.In 13 darts, the Welshman increased to 4:1 and a little later in 11 darts to 5:2.But "The Ferret" then failed to get 40 rest in two takes, opening the door for Smith once more."The Bully Boy" finally used this opportunity and not only forced the decider, but also took the 96 remainder from the scoreboard for the match.In the duel between Peter Wright's two pursuers, Gerwyn Price used the template and deservedly won 6:3 against Joe Cullen.Both opponents initially used their first two advantages.In the fifth leg, Cullen hit three darts wide of doubles, which Price capitalized on with a 111 finish.With a 124 checkout to make it 3:4, Cullen kept the game alive for a short time, but in 14 and 13 darts "The Iceman" made his first endgame clear since the third game day.Michael van Gerwen made a comeback after a sleepy start against Michael Smith.Van Gerwen found himself trailing 4-1 before completing the final with a 15-darter in the decider.Smith took advantage of van Gerwen's stuttering start and, among other things, took a three-leg lead with a 13-darter.But after the fifth leg, the Englishman broke in, which made van Gerwen unspectacular to equalize 4:4.Both managed a strong hold to make it 5:5 before van Gerwen got the upper hand in the deciding leg.With his first day's win since the third matchday, Gerwyn Price reduced his gap to fourth place in the table to just two points.He prevailed against Michael van Gerwen in a close fight.However, thanks to a 12 darter, van Gerwen led 3:1 early on and kept this advantage unchallenged to make it 4:2.The turnaround came in the eighth leg when the Dutchman threw four darts next to the D12, allowing Price to re-break to make it 4-4.Shortly thereafter, Van Gerwen missed Bull for a 170 finish and saved himself with a D19-D19 combination with 95 rest in the decider.In this one, however, "The Iceman" used his advantage in the fifth round.Next Thursday, the 15th and penultimate day of the Premier League Darts 2022 will take place in the O2 Arena in London.DAZN and Sport1 will broadcast live from 8:00 p.m. CEST.From tomorrow to Sunday the European Tour continues with the Czech Darts Open in Prague.DAZN broadcasts live every day.14th matchday, Thursday, May 12th, 2022, Utilita Arena, Sheffield Quarterfinals: Joe Cullen 6-0 James Wade (Wade with cancellation due to illness) Gary Anderson 4-6 Gerwyn Price (94.80 -
