PDC Darts Premier League Week Nine, Aberdeen

Week nine of the PDC Darts Premier League hit the AECC in Aberdeen and provided another evening of thrilling and exciting darts.

Kicking the evening off was Gary Anderson and Terry Jenkins. Moved from the last game of the night following the crowd problems in Glasgow, the Scot and his opponent both received a warm and sporting welcome from the audience dispelling any fears of a repeat of the unacceptable behaviour from a few weeks ago.

Anderson started the match on amazing form, dominating the match and breaking Jenkins early on to go 3-0 up. Jenkins held his next two legs to make it 4-2 at the break. The ‘Flying Scotsman’ was clearly focused scoring seven  maximums throughout the match and finished with  101 average. The ‘Bull’ showed moments of superb play including a 111 checkout to hold his own leg and make it 5-3.
