Welshman Gerwyn Price beat Nathan Aspinall 6-3 to win PDC Premier League night two in Cardiff.

In the process, home favourite Price took home the 拢10,000 winner's bonus and five points for the league table.

Price beat reigning champion Michael van Gerwen 6-5 in semi-final thriller. The Dutchman threw a 110 average, but missed two match darts in the decider.

England's Aspinall, 31, threw a 105 average in his semi-final to beat world number one Michael Smith 6-4.

But having sealed his win over world champion Smith with a superb 136, Aspinall could not repeat the feat against Price.

"Every walk-on and every dart I threw, every double that went in, the crowd was right behind me," said Price.

"It's only once a year I get that and I appreciated every moment out there it was brilliant, it was so great for me."

In the quarter-finals, Price battled past Chris Dobey, last week's winner in Belfast, to win 6-5, but his World Cup team-mate Jonny Clayton's dream was dashed in a 6-3 defeat by Smith.

Aspinall threw a 10-darter in his 6-3 quarter-final win against Scot Peter Wright and Van Gerwen beat the Belgian Dimitri van den Bergh 6-4.
