Dobey Wins First 2025 Premier League Night in Rotterdam

Chris Dobey secured his first Premier League Darts nightly win of the 2025 season with a 6-2 victory over Stephen Bunting in Rotterdam, overcoming improved yet still breezy conditions at the Ahoy Arena. Both Dobey and Bunting had entered Night 11 at the bottom of the standings, making their all-English final unexpected. Dobey's path to the title included defeating world number one Luke Humphries and Nathan Aspinall, while Bunting overcame home favorite Michael van Gerwen and teenage standout Luke Littler. Littler, chasing a record fifth nightly win, missed a double nine for a 138 checkout in his semi-final loss to Bunting. Gerwyn Price and other players commented on the persistent impact of the arena's air movement despite organizers' efforts. Dobey, now just three points off the playoff spots, expressed confidence in his ability to fight for a top-four finish.
