Jonny Claytons win came with a lot more ease, with The Ferret only dropping two legs in his win against Nathan Rafferty.

These results meant that the Welsh World Cup would meet again in a TV tournament. Price has won 11 out of their 18 meetings and prior to the World Grand Prix this year he had won this last eight.

Since them eight defeats Clayton has defeated Price 5-1 in the World Grand Prix final, and then defeated him again a few weeks later on his way to picking up the World Series of Darts title.

Will 2021 “The Year of The Ferret” continue. Or Can Price continue his impressive form when competing in the knockout stages in Wolverhampton?
