THURSDAY'S Unibet Premier League Night Five at Westpoint Exeter has been cancelled.
Unbeaten league leader Michael Smith was due to play Raymond van Barneveld, but following heavy snow across the UK and Storm Emma, the Met Office has issued a Red Weather Warning for the south-west of England this morning (March 1).
The PDC was informed by Westpoint Exeter on Thursday morning that local authority and police advice for the region was for no non-essential travel to take place and there were severe concerns over the safety of spectators and staff both accessing the venue and then leaving after the show.
