DAVE Chisnall was the first of two throwers to fall to Raymond van Barneveld as the second phase of the Betway Premier League Darts season continued at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield last night.

Van Barneveld, one of two darters to double up on the night, also had a victory over Chisnall's next opponenet Peter Wright, as Michael van Gerwen, Phil Taylor and Gary Anderson also won in Yorkshire.

Dutch ace van Barneveld moved up to second in the Premier League table with his brace of triumphs, twice claiming 7-5 victories.

He firstly edged out Chisnall in a thriller, with the World Grand Prix finalist hitting five 180s and a 164 finish only to miss two darts to claim a draw in the game's final leg, as van Barneveld followed up earlier finishes of 116 and 110 to claim the win.

The five-time World Champion later returned to the stage to defeat Wright by the same scoreline.

"It's tough playing twice but I wanted to win both matches and I did, so I'm very happy," said van Barneveld, who had drawn his last five games ahead of the visit to Sheffield.

"Dave played some absolutely awesome darts in our game and hit so many 180s, but he missed his chance to get a draw at the end and I was happy with that win.

The tournament continues at a sold-out GE Gas & Oil Arena in Aberdeen next week, with van Gerwen taking on both Taylor and Lewis in his double-header.

Lewis also plays Gary Anderson in a repeat of the 2011 Premier League final, while van Barneveld takes on Thornton and Chisnall plays Wright.
