Championship League Darts Days 7, 8 + WG Photo: PDC PDC 7 Championship League Darts 7 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 it was Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Richie Burnett, Wes Newton, Ian White, Kim Huybrechts, Andy Hamilton and Terry Jenkins who made up the lucrative winners group and Phil Taylor who claimed his third Championship League Darts crown. Richie Burnett progressed through the seventh group of Championship League Darts, when the action from Crondon Park resumed on October 22nd. Burnett topped the league phase of the event, just ahead of Steve Beaton on legs difference, before moving on to seal his spot in the final with a 6-3 victory over Kim Huybrechts. In the final the former World Champion defeated Gary Anderson in a deciding leg, booking his spot in the winners group in the process. John Part and Jamie Caven could only register one victory each and were both eliminated from the tournament, leaving Peter Wright and Paul Nicholson to join Huybrechts, Beaton and Anderson in returning for the final qualifying ?????????????????????()?????Q????)I?????? ?????)M??? ????)??????????)-???!????????)A???]????)A???9???????))????? ???))????A???()M?????????)I?????? ???????-???!????????)M??? ?????????????????()????)I?????? ?????????????????((
