Michael Smith out

Michael Smith out

Was meant to be a cracker this.

A surprise for sure, but not a massive shock, Smith has not had a good two years (hence he is about to fall to number 15 in the world at the absolute best), and Kevin Doets, who almost beat him last year, was one spot away from qualifying for the World Matchplay. Cracking game, I must admit I thought he’d blown it when he missed that match dart, the bottle he showed to carry on when Smiffy was chucking everything at him was immense

Surely throwing the darts at your opponent is against the rules?

Issuing a correction to my previous post, Smith threw everything but the kitchen sink and his own darts at Doets!

Luke Littler played pretty **** for 3 sets, just about getting into a 2-1 lead. Then went 11, 10 and 11 darts in the fourth, averaging 141 in the set.

A world record set average that, meanwhile Perth's Damon Heta also missed d12 for a 9er in the last game of the evening

Gary Anderson, who had been rolling back tbe years and was fancied by many this year, was thrashed by Dutch-Swede Jeffrey de Graaf in a night of shocks!

Madness at the PDC Worlds TBH. Littler was insane in the 4th set

11 seeds are out already

13 out now, with one game to go before Christmas, been an absolute bloodbath for the seeds! Two absolute crackers going all the way to a sudden death leg, Jonny Clayton sneaked past Mickey Mansell this afternoon before Ricky Evans beat Dave Chisnall, the latter was particularly entertaining!

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

We’ve reached the Christmas break with a record 14 seeds out, it’s been anything but predictable!

After missing the double for a 9er in his second round game, Damon Heta does it in the third round!

 

[Tom Flint]

Yes I just watched that live. Brilliant reactions all round

After a very messy start to the next leg, Heta sees it out in 17 darts to win tbe set and level tbe match

His opponent was as buzzing as he was!

 

[Tom Flint]

Imagine all the people in the toilets or it being your round and standing at the bar. Much worse than missing a goal at the football

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Having missed a big opportunity to go one leg away from the match at 3-1 up in sets, Heta ends up losing 4-3 to Luke Woodhouse

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Littler and MvG safely through to the last 16

Having hit a 107 average in round 1, Callan Rydz hits a 105 in round 3 as he carries on his serene progress, player of the tournament so far!
