Gerwyn Price completed a European Tour double with a fine success in the Gibraltar Darts Trophy, emphatically defeating Mensur Suljovic 8-0 in Sunday’s final.

The World Champion had taken victory in the Hungarian Darts Trophy earlier this month, and sealed the £25,000 title in the year’s second – and final – European Tour event.

Price performed superbly throughout the weekend, following up Saturday’s second round win over Florian Hempel with a 102 average in his last 16 defeat of Damon Heta.

He improved on that to defy Michael van Gerwen’s 105 average in a thrilling quarter-final which went to a deciding leg, before seeing off Nathan Aspinall 7-3 in the semi-finals.

The final proved a one-sided affair, with Suljovic’s missed doubles in the opening two legs giving Price the opportunity to move 2-0 up.

A 70 finish gave Price the third leg, and he posted tops and double ten to claim a five-leg lead before accelerating to the winning line with legs of 11, 12 and 12 darts – finishing 94, 95 and 82 in the process of completing a fifth European Tour triumph.
