Premier Leauge Darts - Week 3

PHIL TAYLOR V TERRY JENKINS
Phil Taylor's game is off the pace and he may struggle against an in form Terry Jenkins who is looking to really make his mark as a World Class Darter.
According to Sky's legendary darts commentator, cat on acid Sid Waddell, Taylor is struggling with his grip and is not stacking the darts as he likes to.
Although probably technically correct it may also have something to do with the standard of darts rising by the prizes at stake.
Fellow Dart Professionals have adopted Taylor’s disciplined practice strategies to enable them to compete with him at his own game.
Whatever the outcome matches that can go either way are absolutely fantastic for darts viewers and the Taylor domination slipping away is no bad thing.

RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD v PETER MANLEY
A cracker as both players are larger than life on stage and can be very aggressive, however, Manley’s ability to finish the job off can sometimes be called into question and so Barney should take this one.

ADRIAN LEWIS v COLIN LLOYD
A very tough call on this match as Adrian Lewis is starting to mature towards the player that they said he would be, but is still needs to maintain his concentration throughout the entire match. Colin Lloyd has been on the back of some huge games over the passed few months and just seems to be getting the monkey off his back and should just be able to squeeze this one.

DENNIS PRIESTLEY v ROLAND SCHOLTEN
With Dennis back in the form of his life and a very deliberate throwing style he will be hard to beat, and should move passed Scholten if the form book holds.
