Gerwyn Price believes his chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League are a strong possibility after a rousing win in Cardiff on Thursday.
Price delighted his home fans with an 8-5 win over Michael Smith in a match which saw both men land maximum 170 checkouts.
Smith managed the finish in the third leg as he edged 2-1 up before Price replied immediately in the next leg to pull level.
Price broke to go 5-4 up in the ninth and he extended that into a 7-4 advantage before eventually wrapping up a victory which keeps him fourth in the table, level on 14 points with third-placed James Wade, one leg ahead of Mensur Suljovic (14 points), and Daryl Gurney (12 points).
The Welshman faces Rob Cross, Wade, Gurney, and Peter Wright over remaining four weeks of the season before the conclusion of the Premier League at London's O2 on Thursday, May 23.
Price believes he has every chance of making it to Play-Offs after his latest victory, saying all he wants to do is "keep winning".
The crowd were fantastic and helped me through. It means a lot to me and I played some pretty decent darts too I think.
