Limerick man takes on world #1 at PDC Summer Series

Limerickโ€™s William Oโ€™Connor is set to meet world #1 Michael van Gerwen at the oche this Thursday.

The Cappamore man is looking to bounce back from a 6-3 opening day defeat to James Wade in the PDC Summer Series when he meets Wednesdayโ€™s winner in Milton Keynes.

Thursdayโ€™s action is the second event of five, which sees 128 players compete for a ยฃ75,000 prize.

The two have met before, with Oโ€™Connor famously stunning van Gerwen in the Dutch World Championships in 2018.

Oโ€™Connor, the current world #37, has previously admitted he nearly gave up the sport due to eye problems in 2017.
