MVG to face Peter Wright in World Darts Championship final

The pair booked their places in the championship decider tonight.

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN will face Peter Wright in the final of the PDC Darts World Championship on New Year’s Day.  

The showdown will be a repeat of the 2014 championship decider which MVG won. 

Tonight at the Alexandra Palace, he saw off Nathan Aspinall 6-3 in a contest that never caught fire. Wednesday’s final will be the Dutch star’s fifth. 

Earlier, ‘Snakebite’ Peter Wright defeated Gerwyn Price 6-3. The Welshman was fancied to make the championship decider but never really got going while Wright averaged 98.39, hitting 16 maximums.

There was seemingly some tension between the players and no handshake at the end.

    Will be interesting to see what the changes will mean. The clubs have put so much work in already with the previous guidelines!

    @Mel Roberts: you know as well as I do that the GAA can only mandate along with current government guidelines,That government being the one based in Dublin,I’m sure the GAA haven’t overlooked the 6 counties at all and they are acutely aware of the government guidelines that are in place there regarding sport etc and returning to play,so why insinuate that the 6 counties may be overlooked??a negative take on what’s a positive announcement

    @Paddy Moran: so your telling me they can’t come up with a plan based on the ni executives guidelines? We’ve had anti gaa banners and protests in Belfast over the last week, members being harrased and targeted whilst playing our games with their kids and the gaa hasn’t uttered a word. They don’t give 2 shits about us up here but still happy to collect the big gates from provincial games
