Wade is chasing a second successive victory after beating Kevin Painter in Exeter last week; to claim his first win of this campaign. He said: “I didn’t put any pressure on myself last week and went out to enjoy the game. I did enough to win last week but playing Raymond will be a good test for me.”

Standing in Wade’s way is a rejuvenated ‘Barney’. He fought back from 6-4 down to claim victory over Andy Hamilton last Thursday, and currently sits fourth in the league table. Van Barneveld and ‘The Machine’ lock horns in the penultimate game of the evening.

‘The Wizard’ takes on ‘Jackpot’ in the final match, as Whitlock hopes to bounce back from two successive defeats. The Australian had started well, claiming a victory over Wade and a draw with ‘Barney’ to put himself top of the table. He has since suffered defeats at the hands of Kevin Painter and the record-breaking Phil Taylor though, and while he is looking forward to his next match, he knows it could be just as hard.

He said: “I love playing against the best players in the world and that’s why the McCoy’s Premier League this year is absolutely brilliant, because it’s the eight best players in the world and all the games are tough. If I can play like I did last week though, I should get a result.”

In the night’s other matches, Painter takes on Hamilton before Taylor goes head to head with defending champion Gary Anderson.

Some of the world’s best professional darts players will be on show at a charity fundraising night for Bradbury Enhanced Care Service, which is part of Chailey Heritage Clinical Services run by Sussex Community NHS Trust.

Premier League stars James Wade, Simon Whitlock and five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld will be joined by a whole host of top professionals for the star studded event at Roffey Social and Sports Club, Horsham on May 25^th.

All proceeds from the event will go to Bradbury Enhanced Care Service, which provides crucial support for young adults with complex health needs, physical disabilities and life limiting conditions.

The night provides the chance for you to play against some of the best PDC professionals, whilst contributing to an excellent cause.

Terry ‘The Bull’ Jenkins will be shaving off his famous moustache for the first time in 33 years. There will also be auctions, as well as photo and autograph opportunities with all of the players, in what it guaranteed to be a fun packed evening.

Other star players taking part in the event include Mark Webster, Paul Nicholson, Vincent van der Voort, Co Stompe and Michael van Gerwen.
