Markham’s Gerwyn Price has returned to winning ways after beating Ian White in the final of the Players Championship on Monday night in Leicester.

It was the second time Price has won a Players Championship this season, with his first victory coming in February.

Price began the day with wins over Robert Grundy, Keane Barry and Nathan Rafferty, before averaging 104.50 in a last 16 triumph over Dave Chisnall.

The Welshman then saw off Niels Zonneveld in the quarter-finals, before defeating Dolan and White to clinch his 39th PDC title in less than ten years.

Speaking after the win, Price said: “It’s nice to get another win, this is a confidence boost going into tomorrow [Players Championship Ten] and the Premier League on Thursday.

“I said to James Wade at the start of the day ‘I’m going to win today’ and I’ve gone and done it.

“I’ve been struggling with a bit of an injury over the last week, and it’s still not fully healed.

“I was inconsistent today, I was very up and down in my performance level, but a win’s a win.”
