The final countdown

Just a few more days until I go to Cardiff for the Premier League Darts playoffs. It really will be tough but I feel I'm playing great darts and the confidence is flowing.

Here how I see things going on May 26:

Premier League Darts
Semi finals
van Barneveld v Wade 11-8 (van Barneveld to win 5/6)
Taylor v Lewis 11-5 (Taylor to win 1/12)

Final
Van Barneveld - Taylor 16-14

PartyBets.com have me at 11/2 to win the title so I recommend you take them up on that now!

Wish me luck.

A well-earned break

Well, I made it. I'm through to the Premier League Darts playoffs and it's time for a bit of a rest.

I'm actually now on holiday until May 12 and that means no obligations, no plans, no schedules. I'm free to do whatever I want and that means playing some poker on PartyPoker.com, going round the golf course and enjoying time with friends I haven't see for a long time. The weather is getting better as well, so that means I can enjoy the sun and spend more time with the kids as it's their holiday as well.

On May 13 and 14 I'll be back on my game and putting in a lot of practice in preparation for the US Open, as well as an exhibition for a sponsor.

Then it's to Cardiff on May 26 for the Premier League Darts playoffs. Wish me luck!
