Jurjen van der Velde comes prepared for battle with Ally Pally wasp

Jurjen van der Velde came prepared for his first encounter with the Ally Pally wasp as he arrived on stage with a can of insect spray for his PDC World Championship debut.

The unseeded Dutchman was up against compatriot Danny Noppert but was clearly well versed in the additional threats at Alexandra Palace after the wasp made its presence felt once again in the early stages of this year’s tournament.

Van der Velde made a show of spraying the aerosol around and above his head before the match got underway.
