Anderson After Lewis

Gary Anderson eyes win over new PDC champion Adrian Lewis

GARY ANDERSON aims to take the scalp of darts world champion Adrian Lewis in honour of Ian Murray.
The Flying Scotsman is in Edinburgh on Sunday for a challenge match against the newly-crowned PDC king.
Anderson and Lewis will be joined by Eric Bristow at the city’s Corn Exchange as part of the Hibs skipper’s testimonial celebrations and the Scot will have the first chance to topple Lewis since the Englishman retained his world title last week.
Eyemouth ace Anderson, who has also pencilled in a three-night Scottish tour at Falkirk, Dalbeattie and Buckie from January 20 to 22, said: “It is always good when you’re playing against Adrian and it’s an added incentive now he’s two-time champion of the world.
“That’s where I want to be so, of course, I’m looking to win on home soil.
“But the big part of the day is getting back up the road to support one of Edinburgh’s favourite sportsmen.
“In my younger days when I was coming up through the ranks, I played a lot of darts in the area and I received tremendous support from the people.
“Scots people always have had a close affection with their sportsmen and women and I was delighted when I was asked to return for Ian, as I know he’s well regarded in the city.
“It should be a great day and, of course, if I can win, it will make it all the better.”
Anderson, Lewis and Bristow will take to the stage at 12.30pm at the Corn Exchange and tickets are still available for the event.
