Ive been doing everything right and its just a matter of getting up there and doing it on the dartboard.Now that Im playing properly and Ive got my equipment right, I cant wait and Im really looking forward to it.Michael van Gerwen also ended with a 111 average after last weeks dazzling 7-3 win over Anderson and takes on Adrian Lewis, the early league leader, at the 3Arena.

The crowds in Dublin are great and I really like to play there, said Van Gerwen. It will be a good game and I hope I can continue my form because my confidence is high at the moment and I know what I can do.Adrian is a fantastic talent but sometimes he can let his focus go a little bit and then you need to take advantage, and thats what Ill be looking to do. Hopefully well both have won two out of three by the end of the night!But Lewis is in confident mood after adding his second win of the competition against Dave Chisnall. Michael has been the best player in the world for the last couple of years in my opinion, said Lewis. It means everything when you play him and Im looking forward to it.
