Dolan congratulates Price
World number three Gerwyn Price beat Fermanagh s Brendan Dolan in a seven-set thriller settled by a last leg decider at the PDC World Championship on Monday.
Price almost took victory in the sixth set, but the Welshman missed double top for a match-sealing 145 finish.
Dolan’s reprieve was short-lived as Price, who averaged 99.74, took the final set 3-2 to set up a last 16 date with Mervyn King.
Price said: I was all over the shop. One minute I was playing really well, the next minute I couldn’t hit a barn door. I thought the luck was up against me, but I stuck in there until the end and I was thankful to see that last dart go in.

JASON LOWE PRODUCED the shock of the PDC World Championship so far with a 3-1 victory over fourth seed Michael Smith at Alexandra Palace.
Lowe, who only decided to enter Q School at the last minute earlier this year, led from the front after taking the first set with three 180s, averaging almost 100 with 2019 runner-up Smith unable to win a leg.
Smith had to wait until the third set to get his first leg on the board, and reduced the deficit to 2-1, but it was not enough as Lowe took out 101 to win the match.
