Luke Humphries became the latest player to seize his second chance yesterday on the PDC Home Tour and he defeated Mike van Duivenbode to do so.
Humphries lauded praise on the young Dutchman afterwards and spoke about the various talents coming through the Development Tour, which he dominated for a number of years.
"Talking about me being World Youth Champion, looking back on my Development Tour and I thought you know what I beat a lot of good young players when I was a nobody. I had to work so hard there and it made me as a player and I have played Mike (van Duivenbode) a few times and he is a fantastic talent," said Humphries.
"He's just an array of talent that's around at the moment. I feel like an old man, I do feel like that because there's so many good youngsters that are five or six years younger than me creeping up now and this sport is going to be very scary in ten years time."

- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
