Peter ‘Snakebite’ Wright has vowed to become more ruthless in the hunt for Premier League Darts play-off places.

Wright currently sits sixth in the table, two points off the required pace to qualify for the four-man play-offs at London's O2 Arena in May.

Having planted a cheeky kiss on Phil Taylor during a post-match interview then confessed the difficulty of eliminating his friend Dave Chisnall last week, Wright knows it's time to grit his teeth.

No more Mr. Nice Guy! I've got a few more weeks to get to The O2 and I plan to be there. I've still got a chance of finishing top.

He exclusively told Sky Sports: "No more Mr. Nice Guy! I've got a few more weeks to get to The O2 and I plan to be there. I've still got a chance of finishing top, I can beat all the guys in front of me.

"No, it wasn't a nice experience beating Dave. I've played him three times since that match and beat him each time so I haven't let him get back at me."

"Adrian's been up-and-down in the Premier League, his only decent game was against me," he said. "That will make him practice and make a better game out of him. I wasn't really on it - I wasn't settled with my darts.

"Now I'm really settled so I'm looking forward to revenge."
