Jonny Clayton clinched the New Zealand Darts Masters with this huge bullseye finish to beat Gerwyn Price!

Jonny Clayton beat compatriot Gerwyn Price 8-4 to win the New Zealand Darts Masters in Auckland.

The Welshman defeated Gian van Veen and James Wade on his route to the final where he sealed his second World Series of Darts title with a 124-checkout finish on the bullseye.

Clayton hit a 158-finish to assume a 3-0 lead and never relinquished the advantage, racing into a 7-1 lead before holding off a late, three-leg rally to avenge his defeat to Price in the 2022 final in Hamilton.

"It was great to play in the final with my World Cup partner," Clayton reflected.

"It just shows that two rugby boys can play darts, and to play against each other in the world of rugby here in New Zealand, I've got a smile on my face.

"I really enjoyed that. It's 1-1 now, so next year - winner takes all!

"I'm looking forward to Wollongong next week. Hopefully the sun will shine on me and I can lift another trophy!"
