For "Jackpot" darts player Adrian Lewis, this year's Championship League darts is all about getting the same form with a different result. The 24-year-old star from Stoke-on-Trent voiced his concern over his previous year's performance, which secured him a slot in last year's event but fell short of winning him a slot to the finals.
Lewis opened last year's tournament with a spectacular nine-darter, but struggled in subsequent matches and fell away. Eight group stages make up the event, with each group played out as leagues. The final eight-man winner group is made up of the winner from each stage. Lewis came up short despite dominating the league stages three times, making the group finals three times out of eight and the semis three times. He finished fourth on the overall money list for the tournament
"I think I played in a few semis and a lot of finals last year, I think I finished three of them leading the money table but didn't even qualify for the finals," said the embattled darts player.
This year, Lewis lays out his ambition for a breakthrough. "I think this year I'm looking to try and qualify straight away, I'm not looking at staying in the league to collect more money I want to get it over and done with and get to the final."
