Darts Competition: Gerwyn Price Laughsoff English Rivalry
Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Email Print Copy Link Gerwyn Price sings the blues, but with a wry grin - despite the loss, Northern Ireland triumphs in the Darts World Cup.
In the heart of Frankfurt, Northern Ireland's Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney secure the top spot, outsmarting Wales' Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price in the final. Even in defeat, Price can't help but chuckle, targeting a team that didn't make it past the first round.
The press conference concludes, but Price can't resist one final jab. When asked about the importance of teamwork in the World Cup, he replies, "It takes teamwork for sure. There was this one team that wasn't really a team. They didn't practice together, didn't stick together, didn't act as a team. I won't mention any names, but unfortunately, they're out of the tournament."
Clayton, sitting next to him, laughs in agreement. The room buzzes with the unspoken identity—the highly touted English dream duo, Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, who had sensationally lost to Germany in their first match.
