The finals of that Championship League have been running today. The semi finals are Taylor vs Newton and van Gerwen vs Burnett.

Burnett beat MvG 6-0 in the group stage earlier which ain't bad going at all.

EDIT: Taylor beat van Gerwen 6-3 in the final.

Averaged 104.21 over the 9 matches in a long day of darts. Incredible stuff he just goes from strength to strength.

The van Gerwen charge has halted a little and I would say Taylor is now as formidable as ever going in heavy favourite for every tournament.

I've been humming and hawing for months about going but decided against it in the end.

The venue is a disaster in terms of being near anything and there's something just a bit 'samey' about the line up that doesn't get me that excited.

It'll be my first non-Premier League darts experience so I'm hoping it's less of a nedfest than I'm used to. Going on the Friday so will get to see a good variety of players as well as all the top guys. Six of us going as well so should be a laugh. As for getting to the venue, I've taken the full Friday off so can take my time getting there.

This is what happens when there is no football on a Saturday. (St. Johnstone are playing Motherwell tomorrow).

I've went through every World Championship dating back to 1978, and calculated the winner's tournament average. The results are not particularly surprising, but there are a few interesting ones nonetheless.

What's the prize money like in that tournament? Disappointing to see that clogger Dolan pick up a second place finish which will keep him up the Order of Merit.

£100,000 pot for the tournament. Winner gets £20k, runner up gets £10k.
