Premier League Matches


The Premier League bandwagon moves on to Aberdeen this Thursday and the intensity levels are growing week by week as the stakes get higher to be in the top 4 to go on to the finals.

PHIL TAYLOR v ADRIAN LEWIS
Phil Taylor has started this campaign quite slowly, but that could be put down to a few drastic lifestyle changes that he has followed. Now that he has settled into this routine it would seem that he is back to his best and firing on all cylinders. Adrian Lewis has struggled to find his top gear in this years Holsten Premier League and so he has a huge battle on his hands tomorrow night. Taylor should win this one if he doesn't drop his guard 8 -5.

ROLAND SCHOLTEN v RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD
Barney and Roland go back together many years and each knows the others game inside out, as they have also won several pairs titles together. Sid Wadell commented that he thought Barney was "Knackered" as he has been flying back and forth to Holland and this may explain a slight drop in his form last week. However not many a betting man would go against him and he should take this one 8 -6.

DENNIS PRIESTLEY v PETER MANLEY
Dennis suffered a rare 5 - 0 loss at the hands of Phil Taylor on Sunday in the Blue Square regional finals, but this won't dent the Evergreen Priestley confidence and he should go on to beat a struggling Manley by 8- 6.

COLIN LLOYD v TERRY JENKINS
Jenkins is in the middle of a great run of form, and he has the utmost respect from fellow professionals as being up there with the best in the world. With Colin Lloyd struggling to find any real winning form he will need to be on his best performance to stomp the raging bull, and so Jenkins should take this one 8 -5.

People may be watching darts more, both live and on TV, but they are not getting the chance to play in their local as many pubs are going 'gastro'and binning their boards to put in sofas and dining tables according to a new report.

A petition has been launched to get darts back into pubs at www.saveourdarts.com
