The build-up continues

The crowd are starting to get into full voice as we edge towards our first match. We’re running a little behind but not sure anybody really minds!

The big game is obviously the World Championship Final rematch between Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen later but I have a feeling these two early games could be crackers.
