I have consistently been amazed by the excitement of Phil Taylor’s entrance to every Premier League Dart’s match so far. I have seen a sportsman so cool, excited and so confident than this man recently. Just take a look.
So it is no wonder he sits as the clear favourite to win this event (Odds sit at 3/5, 4/6). He has regained his form, his confidence and his hunger to succeed.… Read More…

Thursday brings yet another masterclass in darts but this week we are fully treated to a clash of the greats. World No. 1 Phil Taylor takes on last year’s PLD champion Gary Anderson.
