PDC Grand Slam of Darts draw: Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan set for group battle

Northern Ireland pair Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan have both been drawn in the same group in the PDC Grand Slam Of Darts which gets underway this weekend.

The tournament sees 24 PDC stars joined by eight BDO players to compete at Wolverhampton's Aldersley Leisure Village.

It will be the first time that Gurney and Dolan have met on TV, and both players are in good form.

Derry star Gurney reached the semi-finals of the European Championships last weekend in Germany. He also reached the semis of both the PDC World Matchplay Premier League.

Dolan, from Fermanagh, has scaled the heights this year. Since reaching the quarter-finals of the PDC World Championships last December, he has gone on to win two PDC Pro Tour titles, including one last month in Barnsley.

The pair have been drawn in the same group as Gabriel Clemens and Richard Veenstra.

Meanwhile, World number one and tournament favourite Michael van Gerwen has been given a tough group with Adrian Lewis, Ross Smith and Jim Williams.

Van Gerwen lost to Smith last week in the first round of the European Championships.

Defending champion Gerwyn Price will be looking to hold onto his title, the Welshman drawn with Dimitri Van den Bergh, Robert Thornton and ladies' qualifier Mikuru Suzuki.

Gary Anderson, who is struggling with injury and form, has drawn Darren Webster, William O'Connor and Dave Parletti.
