Championship League Darts 1
The Championship League Darts is always
an interesting tournament, broadcast live
on the internet through LivePDC.tv and on
bookmakers websites around the world the
event can bring the best or the worst out in a
player, and this year was no exception.
There was a nine-darter from Phil Taylor on
the first day of play, Simon Whitlock and James
Wade made early exits and we witnessed a
phenominal amount of 100+ averages.
In the end though it was Phil Taylor, Andy
Hamilton and Wes Newton who qualified for
the winners group from the first three days of
action.
Championship League Darts 2
Phil Taylor hit a nine-darter on his way to claiming
victory in Championship League Darts Group 1. ‘The
Power’ topped the league table on leg difference
over Adrian Lewis, but it was Lewis who claimed
first blood over the sixteen-time World Champion, as
despite Taylor’s nine-darter Lewis was able to claim
a 6-5 victory in their round robin match.
Andy Hamilton claimed victory in Group 2 of
Championship League Darts when the action
continued on September 25th.
Wes Newton made it third time lucky in Championship
League Darts Group 3 on 26th September with a 6-4
defeat of Dave Chisnall in a close final.
Hamilton finished second to Dave Chisnall in the
league phase of the live-streamed event, but after
a 6-5 victory over Adrian Lewis in the semi-finals he
was able to edge out Michael van Gerwen in a tense
deciding leg during the final to book his spot in the
winners group.
Newton also came through a semi-final encounter
with Kim Huybrechts having finished third in league
phase behind Huybrechts and Michael van Gerwen.
Taylor went on to defeat Wes Newton 6-2 in the
semi-finals, before gaining his revenge over Lewis
with a further 6-2 victory in the final.
Meanwhile at the foot of the table Simon Whitlock
and James Wade became the first to players to be
eliminated from the event, leaving Adrian Lewis,
Michael van Gerwen, Dave Chisnall, Wes Newton and
