Defending champion Anderson produces comeback to see off Puha and Wright sees off young prospect Irwin
NewsFriday, 03 August 2018 at 11:57
The Auckland Darts Masters first round continues with defending champion Kyle Anderson and Peter Wright claiming victories to move through.
Anderson was 3-1 down and on the verge of a double break against DPNZ Number One Haupai Puha.
He pulled it back though as he upped his standard to win five legs with only one more by ‘Hopes’.
Wright was facing a potential banana skin in young prospect Tahuna Irwin and he performed well taking out a 121 checkout for the win.
Irwin looked a bit overawed by the stage and Wright took advantage to move on through but looks a real prospect for the future.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
