Darts fan ‘launches drink at Peter Wright’ after beating MVG at Nordic Masters

On Jan 22, 2023

A fan has reportedly thrown a drink at Peter Wright after his win over Michael van Gerwen at the Nordic Masters.

Peter Wright managed to collect his first televised title in over a year when he won the Nordic Darts Masters this week, but it will be memorable for a not-so-positive reason too.

The Scotsman, better known as Snakebite, took to the stage to beat darts legend van Gerwin, but as he edged his Dutch opponent in a thrilling 10-9 quarter-final, one punter thought it would be a good idea to “launch” a drink at the eventual winner.

In a post on Twitter, Matthew Edgar said: “Looks like someone has thrown their drink at Peter Wright after he beat MVG. I mean why wait all year for the World Series to come to you, and then treat the players like that?”

Wright had a difficult year in 2022 but managed to beat Michael Smith 11-8 in the semi-finals, bringing an end to Bully Boy’s 12-match unbeaten run.

Wright powered to a 4-0 lead over Smith before his quality shone through but the Scot pulled it back and went clear in the second half of the match before heading to the final.

Snakebite made an outstanding start against Gerwyn Price in the final and stormed into a five-leg lead. Wright managed to finish the final off as a miss from Price meant he could post a double eight and put the game to bed.
