Peter Wright came awa..
Peter Wright came away with a draw in his Premier League clash with Peter Wright, but he was far from impressed with conditions in Belfast.
Snakebite was nowhere near his brilliant best in Northern Ireland, averaging just 90.95, and he said that this was partially down to the temperature in the SSE Arena.
Obviously annoyed, Wright told Sky Sports after the match. Michael should have won and I shouldnt have.
But it wasnt until the last three legs I could feel my darts, its freezing cold in here.
Its very hard coming out here in the freezing cold.
Smith was quick to agree, chiming in with, it is cold in here.
Bully Boy averaged considerably more than his opponent, ending on 100.78, so he will have come away wondering how he didnt pick up two points rather than one.

The draw leaves Smith eighth in the table and he was happy to admit that the draw left him frustrated, despite Wright taking a 6-5 lead in the best of 14 contest.
Im pretty annoyed, said Smith. I blew a lot of chances and when Peter broke me I thought Id blew it all, but luckily I took my chance.
Im really annoyed tonight, I got a point, its better than getting beat, so Ill take some positives.
Thats why Im annoyed, I needed the win, but Ive got five games left and I need to win them all.
I can battle and fight back so Ive got to do that in the next matches.
