Daryl Gurney is into the quarter-finals at the World Grand Prix after seeing off Ron Meulenkamp who made a brilliant comeback to force a deciding set against the defending champion.
Gurney had to dig deep in the end to the get the job done after originally putting in the hard work to claim a potentially unassailable lead against the Bomb.
'Superchin' started off by cleaning up the first set; with ease smashing through it in quick time against the left hander.
In the second set, Meulenkamp started off well pinning D8 for the lead in the second set; but a 112 checkout followed by the next two legs gave Gurney his lead.
This is where the Dutchman came back into the clash; with the Northern Irishman missing three darts at tops with Meulenkamp there to pin the legs to reduce the deficit and make it 2-1.
The next set was where the Dutchman really threw the match up in the air as he forced the deciding set in which Gurney though wasn't really challenged. 'Superchin' claimed it 3-0 with this also including a 13 darter who nearly crashed out.

- 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
