Gerwyn Price produced a trio of terrific displays to take the title on Night Three of 2025 Premier League Darts in Dublin.

Following weekly titles for Luke Humphries and Luke Littler in Belfast and Glasgow respectively, Price became the third different winner in as many weeks on a thrilling night at the 3Arena.

The Welshman defeated both Littler and Humphries to book his place in the final – where he ran out a 6-3 winner against Nathan Aspinall to leave the Irish capital with all five points.

Price began the night with a 6-4 defeat of Littler, averaging 102 to record his fifth consecutive victory over the reigning World Champion.

The 2023 Premier League runner-up then delivered a finishing masterclass to account for Humphries, converting checkouts of 116, 120 and a magical 170 on his way to a 6-3 success.

This set up a showdown against Aspinall for the £10,000 bonus, and Price capped off a memorable night in the Emerald Isle with a 6-3 win over the Stockport star.

Price seized the initiative by following up an 11-dart hold with a 120 checkout, only for Aspinall to break straight back and fire in an 11-darter of his own to lead 3-2.

However, the 2021 World Champion responded with a four-leg burst to complete the comeback, reeling off four straight legs in 14, 13, 14 and 13 darts to triumph with a 100.6 average.

“It was a great night for me,” reflected Price.

“I’m not sure what it is but Luke Littler seems to bring the best out of me, so that was a great game to come through.

“Then to beat the World Champion was big for me; I felt like the crowd got me through that game. It was like I was playing in Cardiff again!

“I started a little bit slowly against Nathan [Aspinall]. I missed a couple of opportunities but I found my feet and I’m really glad to get a vital five points.

“I felt like I was playing well last year, but I was missing chances and getting punished. This year I’m taking my chances, I’m playing really well and the results are coming.”

Aspinall also enjoyed a positive night in Dublin, opening his account in this year’s event with victories over Rob Cross and Michael van Gerwen.

The 2020 runner-up punished a poor display of finishing from Cross to seal a hard-fought 6-3 victory in the quarter-finals, before averaging 99 and landing four 180s to topple Van Gerwen by the same scoreline.

Despite a third straight semi-final exit, Van Gerwen remains in third spot following his victory over Chris Dobey in a repeat of January’s World Championship semi-final.

The seven-time Premier League champion produced a clinical display of combination finishing to close out a 6-4 success against the Bedlington ace – who landed five maximums in defeat.

In the evening’s other quarter-final, Humphries defeated Stephen Bunting by the same 6-4 scoreline, averaging 103 to condemn the Bahrain Masters champion to a third straight quarter-final exit on his Premier League return.
